Once again. In A.D. 1582 the Pope had given birth to a new calendar, in day 288 which was °October 15 - and of course it was a Friday because that was the day of the week when Venus was ruling. Anything else would have been dis-astrous.

The day of birth was only 288 - 84 = 204 days after the Julian spring equinox, but it was 208 (= 2 * 104) days after 0h (°March 21).

Alrisha (the Knot in Pisces) rose with the Full Moon in °October 15 (288) and therefore - it could be deduced - the Sun would have reached the ancient Pole star Thuban (Dragon). At the star time of the Bull this would have happened in day 144 (= 288 / 2) after 0h.

At the time of rongorongo the precession had moved Thuban (at the tail of the Dragon) 4 days ahead since the birth of the Gregorian calendar and now Benetnash (at the end of the tail of Ursa Major) had been reinstated at its proper place, at the Full Moon in the day after April 14:

... The name [Benetnash] derives from the Arabic phrase meaning 'The leader of the daughters of the bier'. The daughters of the bier, i.e. the mourning maidens, are the three stars of the handle of the Big Dipper, Alkaid, Mizar, and Alioth; while the four stars of the bowl, Megrez, Phecda, Merak, and Dubhe, are the bier ...

From the mouth of the Great Bear (at omicron) to Benetnash (η, at the tip of her tail) there were *208  - *127 = 81 (= 9 * 9) nights.

396 (in the tresses of Pacha Mama) = 182 + 214, where 182 = 78 + 104. With April 14 (4-14) as day 104 we could count 78 days backwards from the beginning of the year, and then find 366 - 78 = 288 (October 15). However, counting from bottom up as when reading the rongorongo tablets, we will reach day 184 (July 3) = 7 * 26:

Counting the tresses from right to left:
1 26 78 = 366 - 288 1 29 90 (= 78 + 12)

Total = 396 = 7 * 26 + 214

Possibly the signs in her tresses were to be counted as mea ke nights:
