Depending on the era the northern spring equinox would be
connected (bound with a knot) to different significant stars.
When the era was changed (because it could be observed that the precession had moved the
Sun much too early as perceived against the fixed stars) it
meant the knot would have to be opened up and then all the fixed stars would
suddenly be allowed to move ahead in unison due to the new place
for 0h.
The sky was moving (rutua te maeva), said Metoro, which may have been meant to indicate such a change in the position of
0h.

the end of a branch farthest from the body of a
tree; leletha, to bend a branch in order to
gather the fruit on it. Churchill 2. In the present
phase of Polynesian lele so much means to fly
that the plainest way of particularizing birds is to
describe them as the flying animals, manulele.
But to manifest that flight, an exercise or
balancing of wings, was by no means the primordial
sense, for how could that give rise to a description
of water in the water-courses? It will be no end to
mass the several significations which lele
exhibits ... Flight of birds ... Wind drive ...
Meteors ... To leap ... To run ... Flow of water ...
To swim ... To sail ... These several activities are
exercised in earth, air, and water. The common
factor is the swift motion. The means of motion cut
no figure. It is an invisible means in the driving
of the wind, the flash of the meteor silent athwart
the sky on its lethal errand, the slip and slide of
the stream in its deep course, the set of the sea,
the gliding of the canoe upon its surface. Churchill

The Back of the Head of Ku (the
2nd Babylonian ecliptic constellation) was at
Hamal and the Front of
the Head of Ku was at Sheratan. Possibly the idea of the
front of a head coming first and the back of a head 3 days later
once upon a time had been tranferred from Cetus to Aries. Which
would explain why the head of Aries usually was depicted as
turned around:
For anciently
it was probably the Full Moon (going withershins, rising in the
west and descending in the east) who had its face coming first.
Waxing Moon grew first and then came Waning Moon.
