This alternative reading has nakshatra Acrux (*187) at the first glyph instead of heliacal Algenib Pegasi (*1). And the date numbers are not 80 but 77 nights higher than the right ascension numbers. When the Pope Gregory XIII updated the Julian calendar he did not revise what had gone wrong before 325 AD (when the Council of Nicaea was held). Thus the stars were were still 3-4 days 'out of tune' compared to the calendar. But the creator of the C text may have got it wright.

... But, we should remember, the Gregorian 'canoe' was 'crooked'. His calendar was not in perfect alignment with the ancient star structure. Because he had avoided to adjust with the effects of the precession between the creation of the Julian calendar and the Council of Niceae in 325 A.D. Therefore the stars evidently occupied positions which were 3 days later in his calendar than in the Julian calendar. This meant that for instance Polaris had risen with the Sun not in FEBRUARI 11 but in *FEBRUARY 8 ...

... When the Pope rearranged the day for spring equinox from number 84 ('March 25) to number 80 (ºMarch 21) the earlier Julian structure was buried, was covered up (puo). At the same time the Pope deliberately avoided to correct the flow of Julian calendar days for what he may have regarded as 4 unneccesary leap days prior to the Council of Niceae. Thus his balance sheet for days was in order. The day numbers counted from the equinox were increased with 4 and this was equal to allowing the 4 'unneccessary' leap days to remain in place.

But he had moved spring equinox to a position which was 4 days too early compared to the ancient model. And he had also broken the Julian connection between the Sun year and the Sirius year. The Julian year was precisely as long as the Sirius year, but the new Gregorian year was slightly shorter - due to fewer leap days - and no longer was Sirius going to stand still in the calendar, no longer would Sirius be a marvellous star; only the brightest, which however was no mystery because there had to be some star which was brightest ...

Initially I had assumed the number of glyphs on side a was arranged in order to let side b begin at 0h in Roman times, i.e. with 392 = 365 + 27, in which case heliacal Polaris would have been at the last glyph on side a and Sheratan at the first glyph on side b.

But here (in my alternative view) the earlier star at the pole (Thuban, at the tail of Draco) was close to the Full Moon at the last glyph on side a.

The Sun, on the other hand, was together with heliacal Alrisha, which meant the Knot - and therefore also could have referred to an end, viz. to where the years were bound:

... When it was evident that the years lay ready to burst into life, everyone took hold of them, so that once more would start forth - once again - another (period of) fifty-two years. Then (the two cycles) might proceed to reach one hundred and four years. It was called 'One Age' when twice they had made the round, when twice the times of binding the years had come together. Behold what was done when the years were bound - when was reached the time when they were to draw the new fire, when now its count was accomplished. First they put out fires everywhere in the country round. And the statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept in each man's home and regarded as gods, were all cast into the water. Also (were) these (cast away) - the pestles and the (three) hearth stones (upon which the cooking pots rested); and everywhere there was much sweeping - there was sweeping very clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses ...

A new beginning would then come with the ancient Leader of the Flock, viz. Hamal:

... Strassmeier and Epping, in their Astronomishes aus Babylon, say that there its stars formed the third of the twenty-eight ecliptic constellations, - Arku-sha-rishu-ku, literally the Back of the Head of Ku, - which had been established along that great circle milleniums before our era; and Lenormant quotes, as an individual title from cuneiform inscriptions, Dil-kar, the Proclaimer of Dawn, that Jensen reads As-kar, and others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light.

George Smith inferred from the tablets that it might be the Star of the Flocks; while other Euphratean names have been Lu-lim, or Lu-nit, the Ram's Eye; and Si-mal or Si-mul, the Horn star, which came down even to late astrology as the Ram's Horn. It also was Anuv, and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u, - by abbreviation Ku, - the Prince, or the Leading One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock, some of íts titles at a different date being applied to Capella of Auriga.

Brown associates it with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...

Hamal (the Horn star) corresponded to the back of the head of Ku (the Prince) - which reasonably was covered by hair - whereas the front side of his head should have been naked like a newborn baby and rising earlier, at Sheratan and Mesarthim, the pair of stars which later were located at the horns of Aries. Which must mean Ku was looking back.

HAMAL ALKES

Alkes culminated at midnight when Hamal was at the Sun and on the nakshatra side Fomalhaut culminated at midnight 5 glyphs (183 + 5 = 188 days) later - at Cb1-9 where the feather garland had moved to the back side. We should remember that in rongorongo times Atlas culminated at midnight in December 31. Probably the midnight culminations of important stars were significant. Alkes culminated in April 17 (107 = 471 - 364), at Cb1-1.

In my alternative (nakshatra) reading of the text Fomalhaut culminated when the Full Moon was at Cb1-6:

Nakshatra Toliman was where the feather garland in Cb1-9 had turned to the left (the past). And the marvellous Mira had been at the Sun 5 days earlier.

... 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 ...

The meaning of a word is never distinct and important words have often several aspects - indeed that's what causes them to be important. Possibly, I think, Mira could have meant also 'dry' (as Land, and as Maro = June, the month of Jupiter, Father Light). The Tail of the Sea Beast (Cetus) was in the Water, but in front he had Legs because they reached up onto dry Land.

MALO ¹, s. Haw., a strip of kapa or cloth tied around the loins of men to hide the sexual organs. Polynesian, ubique, malo, maro, id., ceinture, girdle-cloth, breech-cloth. Sanskr., mal, mall, to hold; malla, a cup; maltaka, a leaf to wrap up something, a cup; malâ-mallaka, a piece of cloth worn over the privities.. Greek, μηρνομαι; Dor., μαρνομαι, to draw up, furl, wind round. No etymon in Liddell and Scott.  MALO ², v. Haw., to dry up, as water in pools or rivers, be dry, as land, in opposition to water, to wither, as vegetables drying up; maloo, id., dry barren. Ta., maro, dry, not wet; marohi, dry, withered. A later application of this word in a derivative sense is probably the Sam. malo, to be hard, be strong; malosi, strong; the Marqu. mao, firm, solid; N. Zeal., maroke, dry; Rarot., Mang., maro, dry and hard, as land. Sanskr., mŗi, to die; maru, a desert, a mountain; marut, the deities of wind; marka, a body; markara, a barren woman; mart-ya, a mortar, the earth; mîra, ocean. For the argument by which A. Pictet connects maru and mira with mŗi, see 'Orig. Ind.Eur', i. 110-111. It is doubtless correct. But in that case 'to die' could hardly have been the primary sense or conception of mŗi. To the early Aryans the desert, the maru, which approached their abodes on the west, must have presented itself primarily under the aspect of 'dry, arid, sterile, barren', a sense still retained in the Polynesian maro. Hence the sense of 'to wither, to die', is a secondary one. Again, those ancient Aryans called the deity of the wind the Marut; and if that word, as it probably does, refers itself to the root or stem mŗi, the primary sense of that word was certainly not 'to die', for the winds are not necessarily 'killing', but they are 'drying', and that is probably the original sense of their name. Lat., morior, mors, &c. Sax., mor, Eng., moor, equivalent to the Sanskr. maru. (Fornander)

... After the neck of Oto Uta had been brought on land, out in the bay of Hanga Rau, the wind, the rain, the waves, and the thunder subsided. Kuihi and Kuaha arrived and told the king the following: 'King Oto Uta is out in the bay of Hanga Rau'. Hotu said to his servant (tuura) Moa Kehu, 'Go down to king Oto Uta and take him up out of the bay of Hanga Rau!' Moa Kehu arose, went down, picked up (the fragment), and carried (it) on his shoulders [i te tua ivi] to the house ...

There was a sense of a reversal of the head of Ku and also a reversal of the feather garlands. Furthermore, nakshatra Asellus Tertius and Secundus came before Asellus Primus.

We have to move with care because this is truly complicated. Next we can add the pair of dates at the time of the Bull, one set for the Gregorian structure and the other with 61 calendar days removed:

So far so good. Cb1-6 coincided with day 413 (= 48 + 365 = 398 + 15) at the time of the Bull and here was the point for 14 * 29½ days counted from JANUARY 1 in the preceding year. And the silent bird in Cb1-11 was at the point where 8 * 29½ days ended.

At the time of Bharani Cb1-6 would have been at the position of "March 12, at a day associating to the constant of the precession (71 years for a day). 48 (Bull) + 23 = 71 (Bharani). At glyph 400 (Cb1-8) was "March 14 (3-14). 50 + 23 = 73.

In Roman times this silent bird would have risen with the Sun in day 117 (April 27) - 27 = 90 ('March 31). The following day would have been 'April 1 (91) when Bharani would have risen with the Sun.
