The number of glyphs on side b of the G tablet was determined to be 242. Given 121 for May 1 there could have been a subdivision of the Sun year into 3 parts each measuring 121 days, because 3 * 121 = 363 = 366 - 3 = 11 * 33.

"The ancient Egyptian calendar was a solar calendar with a 365-day year. The year consisted of three seasons of 120 days each, plus an intercalary month of 5 epagomenal days treated as outside of the year proper. Each season was divided into four months of 30 days. These twelve months were initially numbered within each season but came to also be known by the names of their principal festivals. Each month was divided into three 10-day periods known as decans or decades. It has been suggested that during the Nineteenth Dynasty and the Twentieth Dynasty the last two days of each decan were usually treated as a kind of weekend for the royal craftsmen, with royal artisans free from work ...

... With its interior effectively rainless for thousands of years, ancient Egypt was 'a gift of the river' Nile, whose annual flooding organized the year into three broad seasons known to the Egyptians as: 

    Flood (Akhet),

    Emergence (Peret), and

    Low Water or Harvest (Shomu). 

The first lasted from roughly June to September, the second from roughly October to January, and the last from roughly February to May." (Wikipedia)

If this kind of system was remembered through the ages and across the continents, then the beginning of May could have been associated with where the Flood reached its maximum after which Land once again would E-Merge from having been Sub-Merged. Achet implicated the emergence at the horizon in the east of a new Sun:

As was pointed out in Manuscript E the birth of a baby is preceded by a release of Water:

... When Hotu's canoe had reached Taharoa, the vaginal fluid (of Hotu's pregnant wife) appeared. They sailed towards Hanga Hoonu [Bay of Turtles], where the mucus (kovare seems to refer to the amniotic sac in this case) appeared. They sailed on and came to Rangi Meamea, where the amniotic fluid ran out and the conctractions began. They anchored the canoe in the front part of the bay, in Hanga Rau. The canoe of Ava Rei Pua also arrived and anchoraged. After Hotu's canoe had anchoraged, the child of Vakai and Hotu appeared. It was Tuu Maheke, son of Hotu, a boy. After the canoe of Ava Rei Pua had also arrived and anchoraged, the child of Ava Rei Pua was born. It was a girl named Ava Rei Pua Poki ...
