Bb7.5
We can count the distance between the pair of oka
lines as 24° + 26° = 50°:
Oka. 1.
Lever, pole; to dig holes in the ground with a sharpened
stick, as was done in ancient times to plant vegetables;
used generally in the meaning of making plantations. 2.
The four sideways poles supporting a hare paega.
Okaoka, to jab, to pierce, to prick repeatedly.
Vanaga. Digging stick, stake, joist; to prick, to
pierce, to stick a thing into, to drive into, to
slaughter, to assassinate; kona oka kai,
plantation; pahu oka, a drawer. Okaoka, a
fork, to prick, to dig. Okahia, to prick.
Churchill.
The band covering the
fixed
navigation stars between the tropics of Cancer
and Capricorn might therefore have been measured as
50° (= 364 - 314). This
can be contrasted with my estimate 84° (= 364 - 280)
counted from the position of the Caracal (Alamak).
The Grape Gatherer
(Vindemiatrix) is the star at the right hand of
Virgo, pointing towards the north. Its location corresponded to day 670 as in the number
of glyphs on side a of
the A (Tahua) tablet. And a quick look at
the end of its
side a reveals glyph number 665 could correspond
to Bb7-5 (because of the vertical gap):

665 |

There were 4 days between the culmination
(at 21h) of Regulus (the Little King)
and the corresponding culmination of the
Lucky King (Sadalmelik) half a year
away at Spica at the left hand of
Virgo. April 6 (96) + 4 + 182 = 282 (October
9)..

'barking (dog)'. This star, along with β Vir (Zavijava),
γ Vir (Porrima), η Vir (Zaniah) and ε

... In
China, every year about the beginning of
April, certain officials called Sz'hüen
used of old to go about the country armed
with wooden clappers. Their business was to
summon the people and command them to put
out every fire. This was the beginning of
the season called Han-shih-tsieh, or
'eating of cold food'. For three days all
household fires remained extinct as a
preparation for the solemn renewal of the
fire, which took place on the fifth or sixth
day after the winter solstice [Sic!]

... It was 4 August 1968, and it was
the feast day of Saint Dominic,
patron of Santo Domingo Pueblo,
southwest of Santa Fe. At one end of
the hot, dusty plaza, a Dominican
priest watched nervously as several
hundred dancers arranged in two long
rows pounded the earth with their
moccasined feet as a mighty,
collective prayer [ui] for
rain, accompanied by the powerful
baritone singing of a chorus and the
beat of drums. As my family and I
viewed this, the largest and in some
ways the most impressive Native
American public ceremony, a tiny
cloud over the Jémez Mountains to
the northwest got larger and larger,
eventually filling up the sky; at
last the storm broke, and the sky
was crisscrossed by lightning and
the pueblo resounded with peals of
rolling thunder ...
