Etymology: From heliacal + -ly.

  1. In a heliacal manner; with the rising or setting sun.

    Ceylon has this one disadvantage for purposes of theatrical effect; she is like a star rising heliacally, and hidden in the blaze of the sun: any island, however magnificent, becomes lost in the blaze of India.

    However from the list of heliacally rising stars in ᵐᵘˡAPIN it is quite clear that AL.LUL must include Prokyon.
