Ba9.8 The C text is often helpful and I suggest we should compare Ca9-13 with glyph number 364 in the B text:
In both cases the type of glyph is that which I have named kava due to what Metoro often told Bishop Jaussen on Tahiti:
... Vrishchikam is the first month of kollavarsham, the Malayalam Calendar. This translates to Scorpio in the Western Calendar. Vrischika is also the Hindu astrological sign. Its lord is Mangala or Kuja (equivalent of Mars in Western astrology). Vrischika people are very intense and known to be passionate. Typically very goal oriented and known to be hard on themselves. They can never forget the humiliation or insult caused to them. Outwardly they display absolute control over the emotions. In other words they may be seething inside but outwardly none can suspect anything of that sort ... Hassaleh (ι at the beginning of Auriga) would have been together with the Sun in MARCH 30 and 12 fortnights later the Sun would have reached Vrischika (π Scorpii).
As if by chance Messier 80 (M80) + 4 (M4) = 84 = 168 / 2 (= 6 fortnights). And M107 → *191 (Porrima) - *84 → 111 - M4. The idea of the kava pair Hassaleh and Vrischika could evidently have been to present the distance from a beginning to its end → 364 - 168 = 196 = 168 + 28.
