Ba5.3

Should we compare the B text with the C text, we will find the Boat (Zaurak) at Cb8-2, where Metoro used a Capital letter:

Rere toki kua huki ko te nuku kua tere ko te toki - toki te henua e kua rere toki ki te viriga o tona henua

Tere. 1. To run, to flee, to escape from a prison. 2. To sail a boat (also: hakatere); tere vaka, owner of a fishing boat. 3. (Deap-sea) fisherman; tere kahi, tuna fisherman; tere ho'ou, novice fisherman, one who goes deap-sea fishing for the first time.

The ancient custom was like this: the novice fisherman would go to a hakanonoga; if he didn't catch anything, another fisherman would give him fishes to make him happy so he'd go again one day to the hakanonoga (more distant fishing zones where larger fishes are found).

The Crown of the Forehead was at the Full Moon when the Sun reached the Boat. The Arabs defined this place from the 3 stars π, δ, and β Scorpii. The Hindu used the same stars for their Anuradha (Triumphal archway, lotus). But the Chinese pointed only at the star π for they had evidently adopted another point of view:

... 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. It was a symbol of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping, the Precious Vase. It contained three of the sieu, and headed the list of zodiac signs as the Rat, which in the far East was the ideograph for 'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of Central Asia, Cochin China, and Japan ...

The Sogdians said these 3 days were 'Clawless' (Bighanwand), which suggests a dormant ('not forgotten') place:

SOGDIAN:
1 Wabir Well Mouth  α Andromedae (Sirrah), γ Pegasi (Algenib)
2 Riwand Rich ζ (Revati) Piscium
3 Bashish Protector β (Sheratan), γ (Mesarthim) Arietis
4 Barv Forerunners μ, 33, 35, 39, 41 (Bharani) Arietis
5 Baharu Follower α (Aldebaran) Tauri
6 Marezānā Twins λ (Heka), φ¹, φ² Orionis
7 Ghataf Canal γ (Alhena), η (Tejat Prior), μ (Tejat Posterior), ν, ξ (Alzirr) Gemini
8 Sarwa Leader ι (Syrma), κ, φ Virginis
9 Bighanwand Clawless β (Acrab), δ (Dschubba), π (Vrischika) Scorpio
10 Maghan sadwis Great One saffron coloured α (Antares) Scorpio
11 Shawahat Star of the Foundation δ Aquarii (Scheat)

The name Bighanwand was also used by the Khorasmians:

KHORASMIAN:
1 Wabir Well Mouth  α Andromedae (Sirrah), γ Pegasi (Algenib)
 2 Zidadh Rich ζ (Revati) Piscium
 3 Farankhand Forerunners μ, 33, 35, 39, 41 (Bharani) Arietis
 4 Baharu Follower α (Aldebaran) Tauri
 5 Ikhma Twins λ (Heka), φ¹, φ² Orionis
 6 Ghawthaf Canal γ (Alhena), η (Tejat Prior), μ (Tejat Posterior), ν, ξ (Alzirr) Gemini
 7 Shushak Leader ι (Syrma), κ, φ Virginis
 8 Bighanwand Clawless β (Acrab), δ (Dschubba), π (Vrischika) Scorpio
 9 Dharind Seizer α (Antares) Scorpio
 10 Mashatwand Star of the Foundation δ Aquarii (Scheat)

From the Foundation Stone (Alcyone, *56) to the Star of the Foundation (Scheat Aquarii, *347) there were *291 right ascension days. Or rather: *366 + *56 - *347 = *75 Haedus II (η Aurigae).

Possibly the Scorpion had lost its Claws because they had become needed for the Balance (Libra).

*224 (the Southern Claw) + *16 = *240 = *41 (Bharani) + *16 + *183

... In ancient Greek times, the area of sky we know as Libra was occupied by the claws of the Scorpion, Scorpius. They called this area Chelae, literally meaning 'claws', an identification that lives on in the names of the individual stars of Libra ... The identification of this area with a balance became established in the first century BC among the Romans, although exactly when it was introduced and by whom has been lost in the mists of history. To the Romans, Libra was a favoured constellation. The Moon was said to have been in Libra when Rome was founded. 'Italy belongs to the Balance, her rightful sign. Beneath it Rome and her sovereignty of the world were founded', said the Roman writer Manilius. He described Libra as 'the sign in which the seasons are balanced, and the hours of night and day match each other' ... But the idea of a balance in this area did not originate with the Romans. The Babylonians knew this area as ZIB.BA.AN.NA, the balance of heaven, around 1000 years BC. Hence it seems that the Romans revived a constellation that existed before Greek times ...
