Two things:
1. Can you show me where exactly Ursa Major is shown next to sAH? More importantly: how do you know the images are of Ursa Major and sAH?
2. Surely you do know, that the frame of the PTs is based on skylore, lore being the key-word. If Nut can be the whole sky, and Ursa Major can be a bull with a tail, then surely sAH, being so important in the context, can grab the Bulls's tail. And more importantly (again): you do realise what sAh grabbing the bull's tail means in the context of the deceased being re-born in the afterlife?

What you don't seem to understand is the difference between the Decan Lists and the PTs. Maybe you should take a closer look into that, eh? Just FYI: the decan lists are actual listings of decan stars, whereas the PTs are a lore about what and how the deceaseed becomes a star. Can you see the difference? If yes, the surely you can see which type of evidence you should put your trust on when speaking actual stars and their movement.

There is evidence of this, and it has been given to you several times. Why you still continuously prefer to ignore this beats me!

Yes, you ignore clear evidence.
