Ba10.6

 ...The expressive glyph in position 413 = 365 + 48 could indicate 20h. However, I am inclined to rather associate it with 8h - the mirror (nakshatra) position of 20h. There are 8 'fire feathers' around the 'ball'. In the Gregorian calendar the corresponding date ought to be 19 (Jan 19) + 183 = 202 (July 21) → *202.  These numbers we have surely stored in our minds. The precession had apparently carried them 80 days forward in the Sun calendar ...

Although this was only an illusion, because anciently they had waited for the return to visibility, which took an additional 16 days.

Jan 19 (*304)

*16

Febr 4 (*320)

δ Pavonis

δ Pavonis

*304 - *64 = *240

*320 - *64 = *256

NOV 16 (320 = 384 - 64)

DEC 2 (336 = 4 * 84)

Therefore the star δ Pavonis (*304) would have returned to visibility in day 384 (January 19) - 64 - 16 = 304 (*224) - which date though might have been known as NOVEMBER 16 (→ 91 * 6 = 546 = 2 * 273 and → 9 * 16 = 12 * 12) or something of the kind.

Furthermore, time may have been perceived as moving withershins anciently, for SHANG WEI (Higher Guard) = κ Cephei was the first Greek lettered star in the constellation of Cepheus.

... In later research it was postulated that the [Phoenician] alphabet is actually two complete lists, the first dealing with land agriculture and activity, and the second dealing with water, sea and fishing. The first half beginning with Alef - an ox, and ending with Lamed - a whip. The second list begins with Mem - water, and continues with Nun - fish, Samek - fish bones, Ayin - a water spring, Peh - the mouth of a well, Tsadi - to fish, Kof, Resh and Shin are the hook hole, hook head and hook teeth, known to exist from prehistoric times, and the Tav is the mark used to count the fish caught ...

In Roman times they counted down instead of counting up. In the night the hours were running down.

According to Hevelius, we can see in the illustration below, Polaris (at the tip of the torch tail of Ursa Minor) was in the train of the garment of Cepheus, and therefore everything else may have been running down from the apex up there:

ma te maitaki koia ra kua hoki to rarahoi kua tu ki to toga Etagata itiiti

Rara. Mgv.: a branch of a tree. Ta.: rara, id. Mq.: rara, small branches. Sa.: lala, id. Ma.: rara, id. Churchill.

Toga. 1. Winter season. Two seasons used to be distinguished in ancient times: hora, summer, and toga, winter. 2. To lean against somehing; to hold something fast; support, post supporting the roof. 3. To throw something with a sudden movement. 4. To feed oneself, to eat enough; e-toga koe ana oho ki te aga, eat well first when you go to work. Vanaga. 1. Winter. P Pau., Mgv.: toga, south. Mq.: tuatoka, east wind. Ta.: toa, south. 2. Column, prop; togatoga, prop, stay. Togariki, northeast wind. Churchill. Wooden platform for a dead chief: ka tuu i te toga (Bb8-42), when the wooden platform has been erected. Barthel 2. The expressions Tonga, Kona, Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the quarter of an island or of the wind, between the south and west, and Tokelau, Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the opposite directions from north to east - expressions universal throughout Polynesia, and but little modified by subsequent local circumstances - point strongly to a former habitat in lands where the regular monsoons prevailed. Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona', contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana', signifies 'the setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau', of which the other forms are merely dialectical variations, signifies 'the cold, chilly sea'. Fornander.
