The last glyph on side a was where Alrami
(the Archer, α Sagittarii)
rose with the Sun - which was at another maitaki sign where
the central mata is shown to be the origin of
something. It could be a reference to Wasat, rising with
the Sun in the middle of summer half a year away:

Posssibly we should understand the last
5 glyphs on side a as a description of a transition
ahead from
reading heliacally according to the Gregorian
calendar to reading nakshatra wise according to the
time when the First Point of Aries (Sheratan,
β Arietis) was at 0h.
ºJuly 6 was
107 days after 0h and 229 - 224 (Nunki) = 5:

Hevelius has
Alrami at the left leg of his centaur, rising in the
same day as the twin stars Arkab Prior (β¹
Sagittarii) and Arkab Posterior (β² Sagittarii):
But χ¹ and χ²
were
higher up, at his spine and after ψ.
We should
remember the Sirius fishhook in 'June 30, which
perhaps could indicate a change of view from heliacal Gregorian to
nakshatra Sheratan:
|
MAY 1 (*41) |
183 + 27 - 4 - 1 = 205 |

From
heliacal to nakshatra position we have to add
183. And at the time of rongorongo Sheratan was
27 days after 0h, which means we have to add
also 27 (reaching 210).
But at the
time of Gregory XIII the distance to Sheratan
would have been only 27 - 4 = 23 precessional
days, which explains the subtraction with 4
days. Finally we have to reduce with 1 because
205 is the number of days between Gb1-18
and Ga2-11, not the distance from Ga2-11 to
Gb1-18.
