Bb9.6
In the G text the glyph numbers on side a of the tablet
evidently were in parallel with the right ascension days at the time of the
Golden Bull, and the star named Middle (Wasat, δ Gemini)
should (according to simple extrapolations) have risen with the Sun
in MAY 5 (5 * 5 * 5, 5-25). Presumably the day of
Beltaine had been counted from the Julian
equinox (MARCH 25, 3-25), and if so Wasat
ought to have risen with the Sun in day number 125 - 4 = 121 (11 *
11) = 80 + 41.
2 days earlier in the G text there was a rising (climbing) fish and
2 days later there was a fish going down (descending). In the B text there
could be a reference to the Water-eyed star (Gomeisa, β
in the Great Dog) visible at the Full Moon in January 9:

Right ascension day *45 (MAY 5, 125
→ 121) seems to have been defined from a line
of sight
leading down from the Midpoint of Pollux (Wasat, δ
Gemini) to λ, lamda →
Lamed, the last
letter before changing to the Phoenician season of Mem (water):
... The first half beginning
with Alef - an ox, and ending with Lamed - a
whip. The second list begins with Mem - water, and
continues with Nun - fish, Samek - fish bones,
Ayin - a water spring, Peh - the mouth of a
well, Tsadi - to fish, Kof, Resh and
Shin are the hook hole, hook head and hook teeth, known
to exist from prehistoric times, and the Tav is the
mark used to count the fish caught ...
The Mayans had evidently counted with 4 * 20 = 80 days of
Rain after midsummer → Rainbow. Beyond the hottest days in the year
the weather would become cooler, clouds would gather and
rain start to fall (because hot air was able to carry sweet water
but not cool air):

In the Mayan structure
the first 20-day month beyond high
summer was Ch'en - a well:
... The sign cauac,
wherever it could be pinned down,
appeared as a sort of general time-count
base.
Alone, or with the wing-affix ... and
with numerals, it is a fixed variant for
the Tun-sign. This Morley was the
first to verify.
It is also the common
element in the four vinal signs for
Ch'en, Yax, Sac,
Ceh, differentiated only by their
superfixes. Ch'en means Well;
Yax and Sac means Green,
White; and the superfixes are the
characters fully established for those
colors. The superfix for Ceh
means Red, but the Maya and Quiché
Ceh, Quieh, mean
Deer

From Wasat to the end of 27 (= 32 - 5) days at Oromanga

Churchill.
... They stayed twenty-seven days in Oromanga. Every time
Kuukuu asked, 'Where are you, friends' they immediately
replied [hakahoki] in one voice [reo] 'Here we
are!' ... [E:30]
