Once again. I think the rongorongo texts are probably maps identifying the right ascension positions of the important stars. On the way from Dramasa to Fomalhaut we should therefore put in Bharani (*41.4). And if my suggested position of Adhil / Spica / Dramasa at Bb4-17 is correct, then it makes sense to find not only Zuben Elgenubi (α Librae, the 'Southern Claw' of the ancient Scorpion) but also Situla (the Water-jar of Aquarius) at this place:
From Situla to the Mouth of the Fish there were 5 days:
The half-dead Fish in the South (Piscis Austrini) would be revivified by the stream of fresh water from the Urn (Situla) of Aquarius. Although regarded from Easter Island it would hardly be an upside-down Fish but rather an immature little Bird with open beak (vaha kai).
The Open Mouth (vaha kai) in the west was at Spica.
And 118 - 91 = 27 days later was the Open Mouth (vaha kai) of the Southern Fish:
Which means Fom-al-haut should have been at *320 in Roman times. *347 - *27 = *320 = 'April 9 (99). This type of structure ('thrice nine hallowed days of initiation') could possibly have been used to explain why once upon a time Terminalia (February 23) had been placed at day 54 = 2 * 27 (→ 22 / 7 → π) as counted from January 1. 99 (April 9) - 2 * 27 = 45 = February 14 (410 = 364 + 46). Or we could add another 27 right ascension days to 54 (February 23) and reach number 81. Here was day 99 (April 9) - 18 = March 22 (81 = 54 + 27) and the 14th Chinese station named Wall (the boundary of a House or a Room):
