What is meant by significant? For instance should the glyph type pu be investigated. In the C text we can find:

manu rere kua moe koia i toona tahoga kua pu haki pu ka pu era

Tahoga. Figurine made of wood or of stone, in the shape of a heart, which used to be worn on the chest. Vanaga. Spherical pendant of wood worn around the neck. Fischer. Kaona, a Hawaiian word that means 'veiled meaning or symbolism'. D'Alleva.

Haki. Certainly. Churchill.

... In China, with Capricornus, Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius, it [Aquarius] constituted the early Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen; and later was known as Hiuen Ying, the Dark Warrior and Hero, or Darkly Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty, which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao.

As I have suggested the C text on side a was designed to begin when the Full Moon was at Algenib Pegasi (γ) in March 22 (at right ascension day *1), at which time it could be deduced that the Sun was at the Root of the Tail of Ursa Major (Megrez, δ), viz. in right ascension day *184 (September 21, 264 = 80 + 184):

The Sun was here in day 264 (= 364 - 100) and the date was accordingly September 21.

In September 5 (248) , the Sun had been at the Ribs (Al Sharas, β in Cancer), and therefore this star would return to visibility in September 21 (248 + 16 = 264).

248 (September 5) - 366 / 2 = 65, implies the Full Moon would have been at 23h in March 6 (65).

Metoro said haki pu (certainly a hole) in the following day, when in September 6 the Hips of Leo (Coxa, θ) was at the Sun.

The precession had apparently carried the fixed stars, including e.g. Raven (the Corvus constellation), ahead in the year.

... the bird, being sent with a cup for water, loitered at a fig-tree till the fruit became ripe, and then returned to the god with a water-snake in his claws and a lie in his mouth, alleging the snake to have been the cause of the delay. In punishment he was forever fixed in the sky with the Cup and the Snake; and, we may infer, doomed to everlasting thirst by the guardianship of the Hydra over the Cup and its contents. From all this came other poetical names for our Corvus - Avis Ficarius, the Fig Bird; and Emansor, one who stays beyond his time; and a belief, in early folk-lore, that this alone among birds did not carry water to its young ...
