The sign of a pair of hands held high (Cb1-23) could
have been a description of lifting up the new little
one, the
'sun beetle' (Cb1-18). Out from the
dark world of water and
up
into the air - all wet and
dripping (rain, te ua)
on his way.
The first week in line Cb2 contains the Pleiades
when they were close to the Sun (*), i.e. when the Full
Moon was at the right ascension line for Gemma (†,
*235) at which time Sirrah (the Navel of the
Horse) culminated (at 21h).

... In other words, the ancient Druidic
religion based on the oak-cult will be swept
away by Christianity and the door - the god
Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle
of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis.
This helps us to understand the relationship
at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess
Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who
came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the
hinge on which the year swung - the ancient
Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her
importance as such is recorded in the Latin
adjective cardinalis - as we say in
English 'of cardinal importance - which was
also applied to the four main winds; for
winds were considered as under the sole
direction of the Great Goddess until
Classical times ...

In order to illustrate the Full Moon at Cor Serpentis
the creator of the C text seems to have chosen the 'rain' (ua)
type of glyph. South of the equator (on Easter Island)
the equivalent to the northern spring month May (5) was the
southern spring
month November (5 + 6 = 11). Spring means source of
water.
The ua type of glyph in line a4 of the B
text carries (like the rising fish 4 days
earlier) a little dot in front as a call for
attention:
