Good question! And the answer is I don't know. It's wrong anyway.
Obviously tarm1 cannot be the same as tarc2. So it should have been:
tarm1 sostartai
tarm1 is a constellation of stars

Now, if we want to list the stars in the constellation, then:

tarm1 tarmi lonu tarc1 tarci tarc2
tarm1 tartai tarc1 tarc2
tarm1 is a constellation of stars tarc1 tarc2
drop tarc2 as there is no such thing as a constellation of stars of one
type
tarm1 tartai tarc2





tarm1 tarmi lonu tarc1 tarci tarc2
tarm1 sostartai tarc1 tarc2
tarm1 is a constellation of stars tarc1 with stellar properties tarc2
