Bb4.3
Let's move on. The last glyph in line Bb3 is where Aldebaran
(α Tauri)
would have been seen close to the face of the Full Moon, i.e. 2 days
after the Sun had risen together with Antares (α
Scorpii):

... Antares is visible in the sky all night around May 31 of
each year, when the star is at opposition to the Sun. At
this time, Antares rises at dusk and sets at dawn. For
approximately two to three weeks on either side of November
30, Antares is not visible in the night sky, because it is
near conjunction with the Sun; this period of invisibility
is longer in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern
Hemisphere, since the star's declination is significantly
south of the celestial equator ...

... 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 ...

Rerehu,
Burning; a Maori name for Antares related to
Rehua. Rerehu presided over
the sixth month November-December in
Stowell's enumeration, while Tregear
associated Rerehu with the ninth
month, February-March. Rehu is found
in the Hawaiian star and month name
Welehu, the Tuamotuan Herehu, and
in the Rehu, Varehu, and
Avarahu of the Society Islands
... Herehu
is a Tuamotuan star whose name suggests the
Maori Rerehu and Rehua and the
Marquesan Ehua, all names for
Antares. The Hawaiian equivalent lehu
is found in the star name Lehuakona,
Lehua-of-the-south. Rehu is seen in
such month names a Serehu of
Tongareva, Welehu of Hawaii, and
Rehu and Varehu of the Society
Islands ... Waerehu is listed as a
Maori star and was a name for Antares among
the Moriori as well as for the month of
January.

In Plato's

that the two bands that form the
soul of the world cross each
other like the letter Χ.
Roman XII = 12 → XIII = 13, with
the Nose in between - and later,
after the Mouth, the cycle would
begin anew (I).
Chi or X is
often used to abbreviate the
name Christ, as in the holiday
Christmas (Xmas). When fused
within a single typespace with
the Greek letter Rho, it is
called the labarum and used to
represent the person of Jesus
Christ. (Wikipedia)
... tau
is the 19th letter of the Greek
alphabet. In the system of Greek
numerals it has a value of 300
... Taw is believed to be
derived from the Egyptian
hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...
Taw,
Tav or Taf is the
twenty-second and last letter in
many Semitic abjads ... In
gematria Tav represents
the number 400, the largest
single number that can be
represented without using the
Sophit forms ...
'From Aleph
to Taf' describes
something from beginning to end;
the Hebrew equivalent of the
English 'From A to Z' ...
Tav is
the last letter of the Hebrew
word emet, which means
truth. The midrash explains that
emet is made up of the
first, middle, and last letters
of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph,
Mem, and Tav...).
Sheqer (falsehood), on
the other hand, is made up of
the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and
penultimate) letters.
Thus, truth is
all-encompassing, while
falsehood is narrow and
deceiving. In Jewish mythology
it was the word emet that
was carved into the head of the
Golem which ultimately
gave it life. But when the
letter 'aleph' was erased from
the Golem's forehead,
what was left was 'met' -
dead. And so the Golem
died ... (Wikipedia)

We ought here to recall that 10 days after November 18
the
Hawaiian cycle of Lono was beginning.
... The correspondence between the winter solstice and
the kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived
at as follows: ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking
the coconut', when the priests assemble at the temple to
spot the rising of the Pleiades, coincides with the full
moon (Hua tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In
the latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at
sunset on 18 November. Ten days later (28 November), the
Lono effigy sets off on its circuit, which lasts
twenty-three days, thus bringing the god back for the
climactic battle with the king on 21 December, the
solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The
correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved,
since it depends on the coincidence of the full moon and
the crepuscular rising of the Pleiades ...
This was at the first glyph in line Bb4; i.e. at the distance
3 times 181 days counted from Ba1-1, suggesting not only
a correspondence to the day of Antares as counted from
the day of Aldebaran but also a correspondence to the
day of Sirius (June
30, *101, 181) in the Gregorian
calendar:

We should
therefore count 22 (→ π) days ahead in order to
arrive at the place corresponding to Splashing Water in the day preceding the
Battle of
the King:
... in the ceremonial course
of the coming year, the king is symbolically transposed toward the Lono
pole of Hawaiian divinity ... It need only be noticed that the renewal of
kingship at the climax of the Makahiki coincides with the rebirth of
nature. For in the ideal ritual calendar, the kali'i battle follows
the autumnal appearance of the Pleiades, by thirty-three days - thus
precisely, in the late eighteenth century, 21 December, the winter solstice.
The king returns to power with the sun. Whereas, over the next two days,
Lono plays the part of the sacrifice
...

Makali'i 18 |
|
A tribute-canoe of offerings
to Lono was set adrift for Kahiki, homeland of the
gods. |
... The Makahiki
effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite watched over by the king's
'living god', Kahoali'i or 'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who
is also known as 'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the
king as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of the
victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice ... In the deep night before the
image [of Lono] is first seen, there is a Makahiki ceremony
called 'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino tells of sacred chiefs
being carried to the water where the people in their finery are bathing; in
the excitement created by the beauty of their attire, 'one person was
attracted to another, and the result', says this convert to Catholicism,
'was by no means good'. At dawn, when the people
emerged from their amorous sport, there standing on the beach was the image
of Lono. White tapa cloth and skins of the ka'upu bird
hang from the horizontal bar of the tall crosspiece image. The ka'upu
is almost certainly the albatross, a migratory bird that appears in the
western Hawaiian chain - the white Lanyon albatross at Ni'ihau Island
- to breed and lay eggs in October-November, or the beginning of the
Makahiki season ...
