... In view of the almost universal prevalence of the Pleiades year throughout the Polynesian area it is surprising to find that in the South Island and certain parts of the North Island of New Zealand and in the neighboring Chatham Islands, the year began with the new Moon after the yearly morning rising, not of the Pleiades, but of the star Rigel in Orion ...

To find the corresponding position of the Sun we should add 183 right ascension days, because according to the Era of Bharani* (41.4) the star Cursa (76.4 - 41.4 = 35.0 = "April 25) was precisely 185 right ascension days earlier than ο Ophiuchi; 220.0 - 35.0 = 185.0.

The correlations between the stars visible in the night and the days according to the sun calendar could be established by counting *64 right ascension days back in time to the Golden Age of the Bull. Thus η Aurigae (*75) at Ba1-1 would have been at right ascension day *75 - *64 = *11 = APRIL 1 (91 = 80 + 11). At the time of rongorongo the precession had carried the cardinal points of the sun earlier in the year as measured against the fixed stars and day 91 (APRIL 1) at η Aurigae was now η Aurigae in June 4 (91 + 64 = 155)

Line Ba8 has Beltane (May 1) at glyph number 332, where the Sun rose together with Bharani:

... In the intermediate period between the present and the era of the Golden Age of the Bull the star at the north pole had been Kochab (the Star), which conveniently was visible close to the Full Moon in the night after Zuben Elgenubi ...

Notably, when at Ba8-36 (330) the Sun was at μ Arietis (*39.4) in day 118 + 1 = 119 (April 29) this was 325 days after Ba1-5 when June 8 (159) had been visible at the Full Moon (and when Arcturus had culminated at 21h). 159 + 325 - 365 = 119. It is necessary to calculate carefully. In early June the stars of the Charioteer would be visible close the Full Moon. 325 days later - in late April - the Full Moon would be at Toliman (*221) followed by the South Gate (*222 = *39 + *183). Because 365 - 325 = 40 and from April 29 (119) to June 8 (159) there were 40 days.

The time-space distance from "March 21 (80) with Bharani at 0h down to the Golden Age of the Bull was *64 - *41 = *23 right ascension days. Therefore "March 21 (80) was at the same stars as in FEBRUARY 26 (57 = 80 - 23). And according to the era of rongorongo "March 21 (80) corresponded to May 1 (80 + 41 = 121), viz. to Beltane. We should here en passent also notice that the day distance from Imbolc to Beltane was surely established as 121 - 33 = 88 days (two and twenty good four-wheeled wains). 11 * 11 - 8 * 11 = 3 * 11 (February 2).
