Conclusions

Satarn is formed from the minimum alphabet and known to 54% or the population. This is very high Astronomy use in the literate population. These are of course the Teluga language group which is a Dravidian Indian language group.

At 36% we get Satin, Sani, and Saitarana.

Saturn appears at 33%... along with variants.

Why is Kronos more modern than Saturn. Kronos is formed from a fully developed alphabet in use by 3% of the population. Likewise the chinese Tuxing (though like Saturn it comes in the form *u*n*).

Indus Valley Script

Its now thought that this Indus Valley symbol:

Means Roof (mey) + Fish (meen) or Mey-meen which is apparently Dravidian for Saturn. That assumes a vertical-down structure (If its vertical-up its Meen-mey). In Bangla Mina Meye is 'Pisces Girl'. So the symbol suggested as roof could be the symbol for girl. Bangala for Saturn would be Sani. If this indus valley script symbol is Saturn, then Sa-ni is likely its pronunciation.
