Thus I prefer to have nakshatra Acrux at the beginning of side a and nakshatra Thuban at its end (supported by heliacal Alrisha):

At the beginning of side b will then be heliacal Hamal, in day 107 (= 80 + 27 = 472 - 365), with day 290 (October 17) close to the Full Moon:

The following week was preceded by the wonderful star Mira at the neck of Cetus.

... Although an old constellation, Cetus is by no means of special interest, except as possessing the south pole of the Milky Way and the Wonderful Star, the variable Mira; and from the fact that it is a condensation point of nebulae directly across the sphere from Virgo, also noted in this respect ...

... Mira also known as Omicron Ceti (ο Ceti, ο Cet), is a red giant star estimated 200-400 light years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, consisting of the red giant Mira A along with Mira B. Mira A is also an oscillating variable star and was the first non-supernova variable star discovered, with the possible exception of Algol. Apart from the unusual Eta Carinae, Mira is the brightest periodic variable in the sky that is not visible to the naked eye for part of its cycle ...

In a way Mira therefore can illustrate how life (light) departs, yet returns again after the completion of a cycle.

... In 1638 Johannes Holwarda determined a period of the star's reappearances, eleven months; he is often credited with the discovery of Mira's variability. Johannes Hevelius was observing it at the same time and named it 'Mira' (meaning 'wonderful' or 'astonishing,' in Latin) in 1662's Historiola Mirae Stellae, for it acted like no other known star. Ismail Bouillaud then estimated its period at 333 days, less than one day off the modern value of 332 days, and perfectly forgivable, as Mira is known to vary slightly in period, and may even be slowly changing over time ...

Beyond the silent bird in Cb1-11 came the the first star in the nakshatra Libra beam, Zubenelgenubi (α).

And the glyphs in the murky week could have been designed to show the state of disorder emerging after the first point in Libra no longer was at the equinox.

A pair of sacred (ha) lands (nuku) were rising (ea) at Cb1-13:

On one side of the sky (year) was Bharani and at the complementary side was the First Point in Libra, just as had been described in the circular roof in Dendera:
