no glyph
	Ca1-1	Ca1-2		Ca1-13	Ca1-14		Ca1-25	Ca1-26

21 (19 + 61)	March 22 (81)	23		April 3 (93)	4 (80 + 14)		April 15 (105)	16 (471)
3 186	4 ACRUX (187)**	*ANKAA (5) ALGORAB (188)*		*ANUNITUM ~~REGULUS~~ (16)** *199	17 200		28 211	ALRISHA (29) THUBAN (212)**
20	September 21	22 (265)		October 3	4 (277)		October 15 (288)	16

We will then find that JANUARY 19 (= 13 * 29½ + ½) was nicely placed immediately before the first glyph, at the place where March 21 was arriving 61 precessional days later. 19 + 61 = 80.

And after 26 (= 2 * 13) days came the Day of All Hearts (FEBRUARY 14). 19 + 26 = 45.

... February 14 is still remembered as All Hearts' Day (St Valentine's day) and in addition to our usual associations bound to this date we can now add the idea of a beginning for all the cycles - as we know from the corresponding Hathor 'heart':

... In the inscriptions of Dendera, published by Dümichen, the goddess Hathor is called 'lady of every joy'. For once, Dümichen adds:

Literally ... 'the lady of every heart circuit'. This is not to say that the Egyptians had discovered the circulation of the blood. But the determinative sign for 'heart' often figures as the plumb bob at the end of a plumb line coming from a well-known astronomical or surveying device, the merkhet. Evidently, 'heart' is something very specific, as it were the 'center of gravity' ... See Aeg.Wb. 2, pp. 55f. for sign of the heart (ib) as expressing generally 'the middle, the center'.

And this may lead in quite another direction. The Arabs preserved a name for Canopus - besides calling the star Kalb at-tai-man ('heart of the south') ... Suhail el-wezn, 'Canopus Ponderosus', the heavy-weighing Canopus, a name promptly declared meaningless by the experts, but which could well have belonged to an archaic system in which Canopus was the weight at the end of the plumb line, as befitted its important position as a heavy star at the South Pole of the 'waters below'.

Here is a chain of inferences which might or might not be valid, but it is allowable to test it, and no inference at all would come from the 'lady of every joy'. The line seems to state that Hathor (= Hat Hor, 'House of Horus') 'rules' the revolution of a specific celestial body - whether or not Canopus is alluded to - or, if we can trust the translation 'every', the revolution of all celestial bodies. As concerns the identity of the ruling lady, the greater possibility speaks for Sirius, but Venus cannot be excluded; in Mexico, too, Venus is called 'heart of the earth' ...

45 (FEBRUARY 14) = 360 / 8 suggests a year with 8 'legs' (as in an octahedron).

The calendar had here (at FEBRUARY 14) the Sun at the Knot (Al-Risha in Pisces) with Thuban (the ancient Pole star) at the Full Moon.

The current date was April 16 and 365 + 106 = 364 + 107 = 471 = 16 * 29½ - 1. This was also used for the total number of glyphs on the G tablet. 8 * 59 - 1 = 471.

In Ca1-26 was depicted a head and here Metoro said kua moe ki te tai.

Tai

1. Ocean, sea (often used without an article); he-turu au ki tai hopu, I am going down to the sea to bathe. 2. To be calm, good for fishing: he tai. There exists a surprisingly developed terminology for distinguishing the phases of the tides: tai pâpaku, low tide; ku-gúgú-á te tai, tide at his lowest, literally 'the sea has dried up'; he-ranu te tai, when the water starts rising again; this is a strange expression, since ranu means 'amniotic liquid,' the breaking of the waters which precedes birth; in this phase of the tides the fish start coming out of their hiding places and swim to the coast in search of food; tai hahati, rising tide; tai hini hahati, tide as it continues rising; tai u'a, tai u'a parera, when the tide has reached its high; tai hini u'a, tide all throughout its full phase; tai hori, tide as it starts receding; tai ma'u, tide during its decreasing phase, right until it becomes tai pâpaku again; tai raurau a riki, the slight swell, or effervescence of the sea at a change of the moon. 3. Good spot for raising chickens; the stone chicken coops called hare moa, were built in places 'tai moa'. Ahé te tai o taau moa? whereabouts are the raising grounds of your chickens? 4. Song in general; song executed by a group of singers; ku-garo-ana i a au te kupu o te tai, I have forgotten the words of the song. Taitai, tasteless; said especially of sweet potatoes and other produces of the soil which do not taste good for being too watery; kumara taitai, watery, tasteless sweet potato. Vanaga.

1. Salt water; taitai, brackish, salty. P Mgv., Mq., Ta.: tai, salt water. Mq.: taitai, to salt. Ta.: taitai, salty. 2. Sea, ocean; tai hati, breakers; tai hohonu, depths of the sea; tai kaukau, tide; tai negonego, tide; tai o, ripple; tai parera, tide; tai poko, breakers; tai titi, tide; tai ua, tide, ebb; tai vanaga, ripple. P Mgv., Mq., Ta.: tai, sea, ocean. 3. Ta.: tai-ao, dawn. Mq.: takitaki te ao, just before dawn. Churchill.

His words seem to describe what happened before the head was saved and put up in the rafters:

... I know I was born at the edge of the sea, and you cut off a tuft of your hair and wrapped me in it and threw me in the waves. After that the seaweed took care of me and I drifted about in the sea, wrapped in long tangles of kelp, until a breeze blew me on shore again, and some jelly-fish rolled themself around me to protect me on the sandy beach. Clouds of flies settled on me and I might have been eaten up by the maggots; flocks of seabirds came, and I might have been pecked to pieces. But then my great-ancestor Tama nui ki te rangi arrived. He saw the clouds of flies and all the birds, and he came and pulled away the jelly-fish, and there was I, a human being! Well, he picked me up and washed me and took me home, and hung me in the rafters in the warmth of the fire, and he saved my life ...

Perhaps these rafters measured 348 (= 12 * 29) days.

25	2-14 (45)	FEBRUARY 15	346	JANUARY 28 (393)	61	MARCH 31 (28 + 62)

	October 16	17 (290)		September 29 (272)		November 30 (334)
	*348 (= 12 29)**			*63 (= 7 9)**

348 (= 740 - 392) was also the number of glyphs on side b of the tablet.

And from te taketake - at the vertical line of measurement in Auriga - to the end of the text there were 290 days:

APRIL 1 (91)	13	APRIL 15 (105)	289

Cb2-21		Cb3-10 (451)
kua tapu - no te manu		te taketake
*June 1 (152 = 91 + 61)*		*June 15 (166)*
*HAEDUS II (75)** *258		*PRAJA-PĀTI, MENKALINAN, MAHASHIM (89)** *272
*December 1 (260 + 75)*		*December 15 (349)*
71 - 63		*290 (= 10 29)**

With Hamal at April 17 (107) - as the first star hanging in the rafters - the orientation of the reading should be heliacal and forward in time for 348 days.

The 2nd star hanging in the rafters could then have been Cor Caroli (at the Full Moon), because its nakshatra date was September 29 (272) which was 13 days before night number 285 (= 365 - 80).

Furthermore, 272 (September 29) = 2 * 136 (May 16, when Alcyone rose with the Sun). And reading September as the 7th (septem) month we could count 72 * 9 = 648 = 2 * 324 = 3 * 216 = 8 * 81 = 24 * 27. And *195 was half 390 (= 13 * 30).

Anyhow, the 2nd star hanging up in the rafters evidently continued with its influence until the end of May, when the Sun reached the Gate of the Goat.

14 tapu days could then have followed, beginning with June 1 and ending when the Full Moon was at right ascension *272 (= *136 * 2).

Take

The Marquesans are the only people who own to a distinctive national name, and retain a tradition of the road they travelled from their original habitat, until they arrived at the Marquesan Islands. They call themselves te Take, 'the Take nation'. Fornander.

Take, Tuvaluan for the Black Noddy (Anous Minutes). The specific epithet taketake is Māori for long established, ancient, or original. In the Rapa Nui mythology, the deity Make-make was the chief god of the birdman cult, the other three gods associated with it being Hawa-tuu-take-take (the Chief of the eggs), his wife Vie Hoa, and Vie Kanatea. Wikipedia.

Hoa

1. Master, owner; tagata hoa papaku, owner or relative of a dead; hoa manu, 'bird master', that is, he who received the first egg at the annual festivals in Orongo; he to'o mai e te hoa manu i te mamari ki toona rima, he ma'u, he hoko, the 'bird master' receives the egg in his hand and carries it, dancing. 2.Friend, companion: e ga hoa ê! 3. To cast away, to throw away, to abandon, perhaps also to expel. 4. To confess a sin; he hoa i te ta'u: term used of a category of rongorongo boards (see ta'u). Vanaga.

1. Friend; repa hoa, friend (male), comrade, companion, fellow; to confide; repa hoa titika, faithful friend; garu hoa, friend (either sex); uha hoa, friend (female); hoa kona, native T. 2. To abandon, to debark, to cast, to launch, to anchor, to let go, to give up, to reject, to repudiate, to suppress, to cut off, to jerk out, to proscribe, to reprove; hoahoa, to upset, to destroy. Churchill.

Kana

Le kana est un crustacé dont l'enveloppe fournissait un ornement nommé Rei, comme la planche représentant un des longs côtes d'un navire. La femme représentée, en Cook, avec le chapeaux Poouo, porte au core un kana rei. (Jaussen according to Barthel)
