In the G text there are 63 glyphs from Rogo at heliacal Sirrah down in precessional time to the end of side b on the tablet, to heliacal Hyadum I (*63).

There was a sequence of 63 glyphs also in the C text, viz. from nakshatra Cor Caroli to heliacal Haedus I:

25 2-14 (45) FEBRUARY 15 346 JANUARY 28 (393) 61 MARCH 31 (28 + 62)
Ca1-26 Ca2-1 (27 = 87 - 60) *Ca14-11 (285 + 89) Cb2-20 (285 + 151)

*257

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

Although the distance in days from September 29 up to and including May 31 was (151 - 88) + (*74 + 365 - *257) = 63 + 182 = 245 days = 35 weeks. And then followed 2 more weeks in order to reach te taketake:

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)

*272

December 1 (260 + 75) December 15 (349)
14 290 (= 10 * 29)

35 + 2 = 37 weeks = 259 days, i.e. te taketake ought to be day 260 (= 20 * 13) from nakshatra Cor Caroli (Cor Caroli Regis Martyris). 25 + 348 + 259 + 290 = 922 = 740 + 182.

... This star, the 12th on Flamsteed's list of the Hounds, stands alone, marking Chara's collar; but was set apart in 1725 by Halley, when Astronomer Royal, as the distinct figure Cor Caroli, not Cor Caroli II as many have it, in honour of Charles II. This was done at the suggestion of the court physician, Sir Charles Scarborough, who said it had shone with special brilliancy on the eve of the king's return to London on the 29th of May ...

"With Ulug Beg it was Al Kabd al Asad, the Liver of the Lion, - here a technical term indicating the highest position of any star within the compass of a figure reckoned from the equator." (Allen)

However, a better way should be to count with heliacal Hamal at the 1st heke, at the beginning of the rafters, and with the Liver of the Lion at the 2nd  heke, at the end of the rafters. 26 + 348 = 374 = 2 * 187 = 740 - 366:

25 2-14 (45) FEBRUARY 15 346 JANUARY 28 (393)
Ca1-26 Ca2-1 (27 = 87 - 60) *Ca14-11 (285 + 89)

366

Thus the end of side b of the C text should correspond to the end not only of 290 days counted from te taketake but also of 366 days counted from *Ca14-12:

The synodic cycle of Saturn was 378 days and 378 days after 0h was *378, which in turn was 64 days more than *314 .

Once upon a time, it could have been calculated, the night after that when Cor Caroli had been close to the Full Moon - at the 2nd heke, marking the end of the rafters, at the Liver of the Lion - had been JANUARY 29 (*314).

At the time of rongorongo, 64 precessional days later, this would have happened in April 3 (*378 = 365 + *13) when Vindemiatrix - like the fist on the raised up right arm of Virgo - was at the Full Moon.

But according to the C calendar *378 was in April 3 when the Sun rose with Anunitum and when Regulus culminated at midnight. Here we can guess why the creator of the text had placed a vero.

There were 3 nights from Vindemiatrix up to the rising fish Anunitum (τ).

Kihi

Kihikihi, lichen; also: grey, greenish grey, ashen. Vanaga.

Kihikihi, lichen T, stone T. Churchill.

The Hawaiian day was divided in three general parts, like that of the early Greeks and Latins, - morning, noon, and afternoon - Kakahi-aka, breaking the shadows, scil. of night; Awakea, for Ao-akea, the plain full day; and Auina-la, the decline of the day. The lapse of the night, however, was noted by five stations, if I may say so, and four intervals of time, viz.: (1.) Kihi, at 6 PM, or about sunset; (2.) Pili, between sunset and midnight; (3) Kau, indicating midnight; (4.) Pilipuka, between midnight and surise, or about 3 AM; (5.) Kihipuka, corresponding to sunrise, or about 6 AM ... (Fornander)

Egyptian sticks Phoenician taw Greek chi Χ (χ)
Greek tau Τ (τ)

In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ.

Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter Rho, it is called the labarum and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ. (Wikipedia)

... tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300 ... Taw is believed to be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...

Taw, Tav or Taf is the twenty-second and last letter in many Semitic abjads ... In gematria Tav represents the number 400, the largest single number that can be represented without using the Sophit forms ...

'From Aleph to Taf' describes something from beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent of the English 'From A to Z' ...

Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav...). Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters.

Thus, truth is all-encompassing, while falsehood is narrow and deceiving. In Jewish mythology it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ... (Wikipedia)
