Ba5.9

The B text is probably beginning when the stars defining the Gate of the Goat (Haedus I and II) were visible close to the Full Moon and where therefore the Sun according to the Era of Bharani would have been at day 295 (= 10 * 29½). And 165 days later (= day 460) should then be at the beginning of line Ba5 where the Sun would have reached Alcyone:

... another Alcyone, daughter of Pleione, 'Queen of Sailing', by the oak-hero Atlas, was the mystical leader of the seven Pleiads. The heliacal rising of the Pleiads in May marked the beginning of the navigational year; their setting marked its end when (as Pliny notices in a passage about the halcyon) a remarkably cold North wind blows ...

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).

Mgv.: Viripogi, eyes heavy with sleep. Mq.: viipoki, swooning, vertigo. Churchill. Viti: vili, to pick up fallen fruit or leaves ... In Viti virimbai has the meaning of putting up a fence (mbai fence); viri does not appear independently in this use, but it is undoubtedly homogenetic with Samoan vili, which has a basic meaning of going around; virikoro then signifies the ring-fence-that-goes-about, sc. the moon. In the Maori, aokoro is the cloud-fence ... Churchill 2.

... 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 ...

On Hawaii they waited for the return of the Pleiades to visibility in order to count from there and ahead to the December solstice. From November 18 (322 → 32 * 2 = 64) to the solstice there should ideally be 33 days:

... Väinömöinen, 'sage and truthful', conjurer of highest standing, is cast upon the shore of Pohjola, much as Odysseus lands on Skyra after his shipwreck. He is received hospitably by Louhi, the Mistress (also called the Whore) of Pohjola, who asks him to build for her the Sampo, without explanation. He tells her that only Ilmarinen, the primeval smith, can do it, so she sends Väinömöinen home on a ship to fetch him. Ilmarinen, who adresses his 'brother' and boon [good, maitaki] companion rather flippantly as a liar and vain chatterer, is not interested in the prospect, so Väinömöinen, ancient of days and wise among the wise, has recourse to an unworthy trick.

He lures the smith with a story of a tall pine [hardly a 'pine', instead 'spruce', gran, as in the Swedish translation from the original Finnish text], which, he says, it growing

Near where Osmo's field is bordered. // On the crown the moon is shining. // In the boughs the Bear is resting.

Ilmarinen does not believe him; they both go there, to the edge of Osmo's field,

Then the smith his steps arrested, // In amazement at the pine-tree, // With the Great Bear in the branches, // And the moon upon its summit ...

... There was no water in the village. The lakes and rivers were dry. Raven and Crow, two young girls who were having their first menstrual courses, were told to go and draw water from the ocean. Finding the journey too long, Raven decided just to urinate into her basket-bucket. She decieved no one and was severly scolded. Crow returned much later but with drinking water. As a punishment, Raven was condemned never to find water in the summer; only in winter would she find something to drink. For that reason the Raven never drinks during the hot months; she speaks with a raucous voice because of her dry throat ...

The precessional distance down to the Golden Age of the Bull would then be adjusted from 64 to 58 (= 2 * 29) days. I.e. 64 + 16 = 80 would correspond (ceteris paribus) to 58 (= 64 - 6) + 16 = 74, and *74 at Haedus II could then be compared to *74 - *6 = *68 (Aldebaran).

... Gregory dropped 10 days to bring the calendar back into synchronisation with the seasons. Accordingly, when the new calendar was put in use, the error accumulated in the 13 centuries since the Council of Nicaea was corrected by a deletion of ten days. The Julian calendar day Thursday, 4 October 1582 was followed by the first day of the Gregorian calendar, Friday, 15 October 1582 (the cycle of weekdays was not affected) ...

My current (rongorongo) right ascension day numbers are not 10 more than those right ascension days I have extrapolated down to Roman times. Instead, we can count the precessional difference down to Roman times as 27 days, which can be explained as a result of the precession during 27 / 365.25 * 26000 = ca 1920 years. 1842 AD - 1920 = 78 BC.

... When Julius Caesar established his calendar in 45 BC he set March 25 as the spring equinox. Since a Julian year (365.25 days) is slightly longer than an actual year the calendar drifted with respect to the equinox, such that the equinox was occurring on about 21 March in AD 300 and by AD 1500 it had reached 11 March ...

Therefore the Pope Gregory XIII seems to have eliminated those 16 late at nights waiting for the return to visibility of the heliacal stars which anciently was the rule:

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.
