The reason for 392 glyphs on side a of the C tablet could have been an addition with 107 glyphs to the distance from March 21 (80) to December 31 (365).
365 - 80 = 285 and 285 + 107 = 392.
In other words, the text on side a could possibly go from March 21 to 'March 21 (at heliacal Polaris) - because 107 = 80 + 27.

NUNKI (*288) |
Nunki (σ Sagittarii) could have functioned like a 'heart for every curcuit'. Possibly Bayer used σ for such heart stars (cfr σ Scorpii).
... This [σ] has been identified with Nunki of the Euphratean Tablet of the Thirty Stars, the Star of the Proclamation of the Sea, this Sea being the quarter occupied by Aquarius, Capricornus, Delphinus, Pisces, and Pisces Australis. It is the same space in the sky that Aratos designated as Water ...
In rongorongo times heliacal Nunki ought to have advanced 4 precessional days since the time of Gregory XIII, while Sirius in principle stood still.
... The Sothic cycle was based on what is referred to in technical jargon as 'the periodic return of the heliacal rising of Sirius', which is the first appearance of this star after a seasonal absence, rising at dawn just ahead of the sun in the eastern portion of the sky. In the case of Sirius the interval between one such rising and the next amounts to exactly 365.25 days - a mathematically harmonious figure, uncomplicated by further decimal points, which is just twelve minutes longer than the duration of the solar year ...
Day 288 from the beginning of the year was, according to our Gregorian calendar, ºOctober 15. At the time of Gregory XIII heliacal Nunki had been in ºDecember 30 (364) and ºOctober 15 had been at heliacal Thuban (with Hamal close to the Full Moon).
In Roman times 'October 15 was at heliacal Gemma (with Sirrah culminating at midnight - at the opposite side of the year compared to culminating Acrux). At the time of Bharani "October 15 was at heliacal Antares - when Hotu Matua came to Easter Island:
... Hotu Matua came to the island in the 15th day of the month Tagaroa Uri, which can be translated into "October 15 ...

It should be noted that before the Julian calendar with its 'October 15, for instance at the time of Bharani with its "October 15, there were only 10 months and the name of the month at that ancient time meant literally the 8th month. However, such name changes did not change the positions of the stars.
I have put Aldebaran within parenthesis because its position was not exactly half a year away from Antares.
