Once again. In day 301 (October 28) a little henua in front has perhaps been separated from the left forearm above, suggesting the result of raising the sky vault by means of a huki pillar. The red light of dawn (tona mea) should be observed here:

... Rangitokona, prop up the heaven! // Rangitokona, prop up the morning! // The pillar stands in the empty space.

The thought [memea] stands in the earth-world - // Thought stands also in the sky.

The kahi stands in the earth-world - // Kahi stands also in the sky.

The pillar stands, the pillar - // It ever stands, the pillar of the sky ...

... A bent branch can symbolize 'change'. The 'curved' was according to the Pythagorean school a 'female' trait:

'Freeman describres the dualistic cosmology of the Pythagorean school (-5th century), embodied in a table of ten pairs of opposites. On one side there was the limited, the odd, the one, the right, the male, the good, motion, light, square and straight. On the other side there was the unlimited, the even, the many, the left, the female, the bad, rest, darkness, oblong and curved.' (Joseph Needham, Science and Civilisation in China, vol. 3.)

From this it should be clear that there is a high probability for 'curved' to also imply 'darkness' in the minds of the Easter Islanders. This is one reason (among others) to interpret 'breaking the shadows' as going from the female night to the male day ...

Looking at a year ending with 'a dive into water' (kua ruku te manu), we could expect to find a season with 156 (= 12 * 13) 'dry male days' at left (in the past):

740 (total number of glyphs on the tablet) / 2 = 370, and with glyph 370 (*Ca14-7) as the first in a sequence measuring 185 (= 370 / 2) nights it becomes necessary to count also the empty glyph space at the beginning of side a in order to have the 'diving bird'  (*Ca14-6, where 146 = 2 * 73 = 2 / 5 * 365) as the last day in a first halfyear of 185 days. 741 = 370 + 1 + 370 = 19 * 39.

... The date to celebrate St James (the Great) was July 25 in Western Christianity, April 30 in Eastern Christianity, and December 30 in the Hispanic Church. On the other hand, St John (the apostle) was celebrated in December 27 according to all these church traditions. St George, who died in April 23 in the year 303 AD, was celebrated in April 23 ...

If the day of St James corresponded to JULY 25, when the Full Moon at the time of the Bull should have been at π ANDROMEDAE - at her right (and upper, male) shoulder blade where the Andromeda galaxy (M31) was located - then it should also have been the night when Alderamin (α Cephei, at his right and upper shoulder) culminated.

His halfbrother St John (È) could then have been at the Full Moon in DECEMBER 27 or 155 days later. JULY 25 (206) + 155 = 361 (DECEMBER 27):

From the day when Alderamin culminated at midnight in JULY 25 to the day when the Sun reached the waters from Situla (κ in Aquarius) there were 155 (= 5 * 31) days.

And from the day of St John the Baptist (JUNE 24) to the day of St John the brother of St James (DECEMBER 27) there were 361 - 175 = 186 = 6 * 31 days.
