Perhaps heliacal Polaris was at the last glyph on side a of the C tablet, in position 392:
Or maybe we should rather adjust its position with 3 days (glyphs), corresponding to the 3 days which Gregory XIII omitted to repair in the Julian calendar: ... First 4 centuries / 13 later centuries * 10 days adjustment = 3 days difference. Regula de tri. The 3 leap days in 100 A.D., in 200 A.D., and in 300 A.D., were left intact in time-space. When the Sun reached 0h in March 21 it would have been to arrive at such heliacal stars which rose 3 days earlier than according to a correctly adjusted Julian calendar ...
Then, evidently, there followed a continuation with 4 more days, before the Earth Turtle (the Middle World) ended with glyph 396:
... An iconographic study by Jeff Kowalski suggests a cosmological layout for the Nunnery.
The higher placement of the North Building, with its 13 exterior doorways (reflecting the 13 layers of heaven), and the celestial serpents surmounting the huts identify it with the celestial sphere. The iconography of the West Building, with 7 exterior doorways (7 is the mystic number of the earth's surface), and figures of Pawahtun - the earth god as a turtle - indicate this to be the Middleworld, the place of the sun's descent into the Underworld. The East Building has mosaic elements reflecting the old war cult of Teotihuacan, where tradition had it that the sun was born; thus, this may also be Middleworld, the place of the rising sun. Finally, the South Building has 9 exterior doorways (the Underworld or Xibalba had 9 layers), and has the lowest placement in the compex; it thus seems to be associated with death and the nether regions ... A new cycle was rising in the east.
... What happens after (or happened, or will happen sometime, for this myth is written in the future tense), is told in the Völuspa, but it is also amplified in Snorri's Gylfaginning (53), a tale of a strange encounter of King Gylfi with the Aesir themselves, disguised as men, who do not reveal their identity but are willing to answer questions: 'What happens when the whole world has burned up, the gods are dead, and all of mankind is gone? You have said earlier, that each human being would go on living in this or that world.' So it is, goes the answer, there are several worlds for the good and the bad. Then Gylfi asks: 'Shall any gods be alive, and shall there be something of earth and heaven?' And the answer is: 'The earth rises up from the sea again, and is green and beautiful and things grow without sowing. Vidar and Vali are alive, for neither the sea nor the flames of Surt have hurt them and they dwell on the Eddyfield, where once stood Asgard. There come also the sons of Thor, Modi and Magni, and bring along his hammer. There come also Balder and Hoder from the other world. All sit down and converse together. They rehearse their runes and talk of events of old days. Then they find in the grass the golden tablets that the Aesir once played with. Two children of men will also be found safe from the great flames of Surt. Their names, Lif and Lifthrasir, and they feed on the morning dew and from this human pair will come a great population which will fill the earth. And strange to say, the sun, before being devoured by Fenrir, will have borne a daughter, no less beautiful and going the same ways as her mother.' Then, all at once, concludes Snorri's tale wryly, a thunderous cracking was heard from all sides, and when the King looked again, he found himself on the open plain and the great hall had vanished ... (Hamlet's Mill)
The month name Tagaroa Uri ought to allude to this beautiful newborn green world where everything grows without sowing.
