In the G text there were 16 days from the heliacal Bright Fire
to the Nose of the Lion, which means the star named Bright Fire
would return to visibility late at night (after its close
encounter with the Sun) in the same day as when the Sun reached
the Nose of the Lion. The latter event could not be observed
directly because of the very bright light emitted by the Sun, but the
return of the star Bright Fire late at night would serve as a mark. Therefore
the Bright Fire and Al Minhar Al Asad could be
considered as
a pair.

Churchill.
Clearly Metoro when reading this part of the C text saw
that Cb5-9 ought to be at the End, because at Cb5-10 he
started anew with a Capital letter.
The peculiar signs at left in Cb5-11 might have indicated 3
days of ashes (te kihikihi), i.e. of cold food, and
the 3 signs on a string look similar to the singular drinking horn
in the right hand
person below:
... Presented the drink to quaff, he
refused it, saying that he was ill; but urged to taste it
from the tip of his finger, he did so and was immediately
overpowered by its magic. He lifted the bowl and was drunk.
He sent for Quetzalpetlatl,
his sister, who dwelt on the Mountain Nonoalco.
She came, and her brother gave her the bowl, so that she too
was drunk. And with all reason forgotten, the two that night
neither said prayers nor went to the bath, but sank asleep
together on the floor ...
... In China, every year about
the beginning of April, certain officials called
Sz'hüen used of old to go about the country
armed with wooden clappers. Their business was to
summon the people and command them to put out every
fire. This was the beginning of the season called
Han-shih-tsieh, or 'eating of cold food'. For
three days all household fires remained extinct as a
preparation for the solemn renewal of the fire,
which took place on the fifth or sixth day after the
winter solstice [Sic!] ...
Kihi. Kihikihi, lichen; also: grey, greenish
grey, ashen. Vanaga. Kihikihi, lichen T,

day was divided in three general parts, like that of
the early Greeks and Latins, - morning, noon, and
afternoon - Kakahi-aka, breaking the shadows,
scil. of night; Awakea, for Ao-akea,
the plain full day; and Auina-la, the decline
of the day. The lapse of
the night, however, was noted by five stations, if I
may say so, and four intervals of time, viz.: (1.)
Kihi, at 6 P.M., or about sunset; (2.)
Pili, between sunset and midnight; (3) Kau,
indicating midnight; (4.) Pilipuka, between
midnight and surise, or about 3 A.M.; (5.)
Kihipuka, corresponding to sunrise, or about 6
A.M. ... (Fornander)
Well now, let's compare the heliacal stars at
manu kake in the G text with those at the
corresponding manu
kake glyph in the C

... A sidelight
falls upon the notions connected with
the stag by Horapollo's statement
concerning the Egyptian writing of 'A
long space of time: A Stag's horns grow
out each year. A picture of them means a
long space of time.' Chairemon
(hieroglyph no. 15, quoted by Tzetzes)
made it shorter: 'eniautos: elaphos'.
Louis Keimer, stressing the absence of
stags in Egypt, pointed to the Oryx (Capra
Nubiana) as the appropriate
'ersatz', whose head was, indeed, used
for writing the word rnp = year,
eventually in 'the Lord of the Year', a
well-known title of Ptah. Rare as this
modus of writing the word seems to have
been - the Wörterbuch der
Aegyptischen Sprache (eds. Erman and
Grapow), vol. 2, pp. 429-33, does not
even mention this variant - it is worth
considering (as in every subject dealt
with by Keimer), the more so as
Chairemon continues his list by offering
as number 16: 'eniautos: phoinix',
i.e., a different span of time, the
much-discussed 'Phoenix-period' (ca. 500
years) ...
... stag's horn moss is sometimes called
Robin Hood's Hatband. In May, the stag
puts on his red summer coat ...

... The seventh tree
is the oak, the tree of Zeus, Juppiter,
Hercules, The Dagda (the chief of the
elder Irish gods), Thor, and all the
other Thundergods, Jehovah in so far as
he was 'El', and Allah. The royalty of
the oak-tree needs no enlarging upon:
most people are familiar with the
argument of Sir James Frazer's Golden
Bough, which concerns the human
sacrifice of the oak-king of Nemi on
Midsummer Day. The fuel of the midsummer
fires is always oak, the fire of Vesta
at Rome was fed with oak, and the
need-fire is always kindled in an
oak-log. When
Gwion writes in the Câd Goddeu,
'Stout Guardian of the door, His name in
every tongue', he is saying that doors
are customarily made of oak as the
strongest and toughest wood and that
'Duir', the Beth-Luis-Nion name for
'Oak', means 'door' in many European
languages including Old Goidelic
dorus, Latin foris, Greek
thura, and German tür, all
derived from the Sanskrit Dwr,
and that Daleth, the Hebrew
letter D, means 'Door' - the 'l' being
originally an 'r'.
Midsummer is the
flowering season of the oak, which is
the tree of endurance and triumph, and
like the ash is said to 'court the
lightning flash'. Its roots are believed
to extend as deep underground as its
branches rise in the air - Virgil
mentions this - which makes it
emblematic of a god whose law runs both
in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The
month, which takes its name from
Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June
10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes
St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on
which the oak-king was sacrificially
burned alive. The Celtic year was
divided into two halves with the second
half beginning in July, apparently after
a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in
the oak-king's honour ... |

Here it strikes me that the Arabs' conception of the Cancer
constellation resembles that of the manu kake type of glyph:
This was where the year turned around from moving up to
moving down. And this picture could be a Chinese version of the same
idea:
In the C text, we have seen,
the glyph corresponding to Ga2-26 was evidently
located 3 days earlier:

returns to the same place in the sky

which means the tidal period will be

... 24h 50' corresponds to (24 + 50/60)
* 365¼ / 24 = ca 380 right ascension
days (= 364 + 16). Presumably the
difference between 380 (Moon) and 364
(Sun) - which happened to correspond to
the difference between when the star
returned to visibility and its true
heliacal position - motivated the
addition of an extra cycle ... |

Notably also some modern men were aware of the Crab
seemingly on the point of turning around -
presumable because we can often see these creatures
when they are moving sideways;
... Gamma Velorum (γ
Vel,
γ
Velorum) is a star system in the constellation Vela.
At magnitude +1.7, it is one of the brightest stars
in the night sky. It has the traditional names
Suhail and Suhail al Muhlif, which
confusingly also apply to Lambda Velorum
[γ ↔ λ].
It also has a more modern popular name Regor,
which was invented as a practical joke by the Apollo
1 astronaut Gus Grissom for his fellow astronaut
Roger Chaffee. Due to the exotic nature of its
spectrum (bright emission lines in lieu of dark
absorption lines) it is also dubbed
the 'Spectral Gem of Southern Skies' ...
