I decided to count from August 13 (225) and forward in time. This was the day when our creation occurred and therefore we should not go farther back in time.

And then I decided to try to fix the proper place for the exceptionally drawn pu in Bb11-39. Relying on the Chinese system together with the G text the right day could be when the ferocious Wolf was fettered in order to change him into a domesticated and faithful Dog. His faith was that he could allow himself to be bound because he had the hand of Thyr (as in Tuesday, the day of Mars) in his mouth.

... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Caesar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia [Lupus = Wolf], he ran around naked and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote their fertility ...

From day 225 (August 13) to the solstice in December 21 (355) there are 130 days. Possibly this number indicates 260 / 2, i.e. halfway through the tzolkin period. If so, we should continue with another period of 130 days:

However, the Chinese Dog station (following the Wolf) was defined not to be at April 30 but at a place 13 days earlier, viz. in day 107 (April 17) - i.e. at the First Point of Aries.

130 + 107 = 237 = 8 * 29½ + 1 = 250 - 13. Maybe it means the Dog was beginning with day 237 (April 17) and ending 13 days later. But counted from January 1 the date April 1 was day 7 * 13 = 91 (= 364 / 4). From 91 to 107 there are 16 right ascension days, which is in harmony with those 16 days needed before a star would return to visibility after the blinding rays from the rising Sun had made the star invisible.

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ...

It is not possible to 'comb hair' on a sphere (head) without causing a 'navel' (cfr Sirrah). There has to be a point of emergence, a hole in order to create mobility (life), as e.g. is visualized in the board for the game of Chinese checkers:

... Though Andromeda has its roots most firmly in the Greek tradition, a female figure in Andromeda's place appeared in Babylonian astronomy. The stars that make up Pisces and the middle portion of modern Andromeda formed a constellation representing a fertility goddess, sometimes named as Anunitum or the Lady of the Heavens ...

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe. The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ...
