Ba4.7
In the C text there is a coconut tree (niu),
depicted
where the Sun reached May 1, which might have implied that
once upon a time there had been a balanced state between Libra at the Full Moon
in the west and the Sun
child at Beltane in the east:

The dormant (moe) baby bird with his navel string still hanging down in
front (Cb1-18) could refer to the position of the Sun rather
than to the place of the Face of the Full Moon. And when the Sun
reached the Demon star (Algol) another cardinal point
seems to have been indicated in the text, viz. one with 125 nights
down in
the past and 240 days up in front:

The maitaki type of glyph is usually drawn with 3
equally great 'balls' on top of each other, but at heliacal
Algol the balance is broken, presumably due to the interference from
Rijl al Awwa (μ Virginis,
the Foot of the Barker):
