The pair of fishhooks, one at heliacal
Sirius at the time of Gregory XIII and the other at nakshatra
Sirius at the time of the First Point of Aries (Sheratan),
probably served to indicate how to read the text on side a
respectively on side b of the G tablet:

Anciently hakaturou in Ga2-11
was at MAY 1 (121 = 11 * 11) but due to the precession this
date had moved to ºJune
30 (181), and the difference (60 precessional days)
was probably reflected in the distance
from ºJanuary 1 up to
and including ºMarch 1:
|
DECEMBER 31 (0) |
120 |
MAY 1 (121) |
|
ºMarch 1 (60) |
120 |
ºJune 30 (181) |
The precession had moved the date
for heliacal Sirius to a position which
corresponded to the ideas connected with this
wonderful star, viz. to the last day of the
first half of the year - to the day preceding the
first day of the 2nd half of the year:
...
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 ...
And at the time of Gregory XIII the
star at the Full Moon 'happened to be' Nunki:
...
Close to the Full Moon were Ascella and Nunki in
Sagittarius, which meant that when Sirius was at
the Sun then the Full Moon would had been where
the Sea was said to begin. At the time of
Gregory XIII this was in day 364 counted from
°January 1. Land was beginning in °June 30 and
its opposite, Sea, was originating in °December
31. 'Land' ('summer') began at the opposite side
of the sky compared to the beginning of the
'Sea' ('winter')
...
...
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 ...
Anciently hakaturou in
Gb1-18 was at NOVEMBER 23 (327) - or better, at
MAY 24 (144) when looking nakshatra wise at the
face of the Full Moon. 327 + 183 - 366 = 144 (=
12 * 12). And at the time when Sheratan rose
with the Sun, 27 precessional days earlier than
at my assumed time for rongorongo, this day had
shifted ahead in the calendar to a position
which was 64 - 27 = 37 days later, viz. to 'June 30
(181) - when Sirius would have risen with the
Sun.
Therefore the distance from
hakaturou in Ga2-11 (41) to hakaturou
in Gb1-18 (247) had to be 247 - 41 = 206 = 183 +
23 (= 27 - 4) glyphs:
MAY 24 (144) was also at
glyph 200 on side b, because 18 + 182 =
200:

And because
hakaturou in Ga2-11 was glyph 41
on side a this was also the position
for "May 24 (144).
144 ("May 24) + 41
