Possibly there could be a
connection between what I have called the 'compressed henua
calendar' which stretched from
χ
Gemini and Naos towards the Scorpion on one

From July 1 to November 1 there
were 305 - 182 = 123 days. At the time of
Gregory XIII the star Mekbuda (Contracted,
ζ Gemini, at
the short left leg of Pollux)
rose with the Sun (and with Sirius) in °June 30 (181).
Contracted is practically the same thing as
compressed (or shortened).
The right front arm of the White
Tiger was outstretched (hora) - as in the
name
Mebsuta (ε Gemini
at Gb2-6) - and possibly it meant the White
Goddess (Moon, the White Tiger) ruled also in
the month when Father Light (Jupiter) was decapitated and
during the
time when the beak of the Red Bird with
outstretched wings appeared, at
Gemini. Once upon a time the red of dawn
(and the rest of the colours of the
Rainbow) would
have come at the Twins, possibly corresponding
to the Horse
and the Stag
who also were facing each other:
... A
man had a daughter who possessed a wonderful bow
and arrow, with which she was able to bring down
everything she wanted. But she was lazy and was
constantly sleeping. At this her father was
angry and said: 'Do not be always sleeping, but
take thy bow and shoot at the navel of the
ocean, so that we may get fire.'
The
navel of the ocean was a vast whirlpool in which
sticks for making fire by friction were drifting
about. At that time men were still without fire.
Now the maiden seized her bow, shot into the
navel of the ocean, and the material for
fire-rubbing sprang ashore.
Then
the old man was glad. He kindled a large fire,
and as he wanted to keep it to himself, he built
a house with a door which snapped up and down
like jaws and killed everybody that wanted to
get in. But the people knew that he was in
possession of fire, and the stag determined to
steal it for them. He took resinous wood, split
it and stuck the splinters in his hair. Then he
lashed two boats together, covered them with
planks, danced and sang on them, and so he came
to the old man's house. He sang: 'O, I go and
will fetch the fire.' The old man's daughter
heard him singing, and said to her father: 'O,
let the stranger come into the house; he sings
and dances so beautifully.'
The
stag landed and drew near the door, singing and
dancing, and at the same time sprang to the door
and made as if he wanted to enter the house.
Then the door snapped to, without however
touching him. But while it was again opening, he
sprang quickly into the house. Here he seated
himself at the fire, as if he wanted to dry
himself, and continued singing. At the same time
he let his head bend forward over the fire, so
that he became quite sooty, and at last the
splinters in his hair took fire. Then he sprang
out, ran off and brought the fire to the people
...
...
Lulal & Latarak (the Lion) below
the Hired Man were at this place
and according to Mul-Apin they
stood for Cetus and a part of Eridanus.
The left foot of Lulal (with a whip like
Castor) was evidently on the border line
between the 4th quadrant and the new
cycle, which resembles the structure
described for Gemini.
Pollux could then correspond to Latarak
and our Gemini be a repetition of an
ancient mind pattern for where the Sea
Beast reached Land at Eridanus - Gemini
reaching Land after the Milky Way River
(and using 3 of their feet for pushing
seeds into the mud as anciently had been
done with help from sheep)
...
On the Euphrates it [Vindemiatrix] may
have been Kakkab Mulu-izi, the
Star Man of Fire, possibly symbolizing
the god Laterak, the Divine King of the
Desert; although that title has been
assigned to
μ
Virginis and
δ
Librae
...
Wikipedia: Ugallu, the 'Big
Weather-Beast' ... Akkadian: umu rabû,
meaning 'big day', was a lion-headed
storm-demon and has the feet of a bird
who featured on protective amulets and
apotropaic yellow clay or tamarisk
figurines of the first millennium BC but
had its origins in the early second
millennium. The iconography changed over
time, with the human feet morphing into
an eagle’s talons and dressing him in a
short skirt. He was one of the class of
ud-demons (day-demons),
personifying moments of divine
intervention in human life
...
Ugallu
was one of the eleven mythical monsters
created by Tiamat in her conflict
with the younger gods, on the reverse of
the first tablet of the Epic of
Creation, Enûma Eliš. The tale
describes how Marduk captured and bound
the creatures, rehabilitating them with
work reconstructing the world from the
corpses of his vanquished adversaries.
This transformed them into protective
charms which would be used to adorn the
doors of palaces, for example that of
Ashurbanipal’s southwest palace at
Nineveh, temples, such as the Esagil of
the Marduk temple as described in the
Agum-Kakrime inscription, and
private dwellings (the bedrooms of the
vulnerable) to ward off evil and
disease. Sometimes in pairs of ugallu,
the beneficial protective demon finds
special purpose in adorning the outer
gates of buildings.Ugallu first
appears figuratively in the Old
Babylonian period as a porter of the
underworld, a servant of Nergal.
In later times he is represented on
amulets as frequently paired with the
Sumerian demon Lulal, who was in
many respects fairly similar in
appearance. He is portrayed clasping a
dagger, and described thus: 'a lion’s
head and lion’s ears, it holds a … in
its right hand and carries a mace (gišTUKUL)
in its left, it is girded with a dagger,
its name is ugallu'

Rei in Ga2-27 (at Naos)
was determined to be
glyph 57 counted from the beginning of side a,
and 50 + 57 = 107 = 471 - 364.
The extraordinary
Ga2-29 (alluding to the number of glyphs on side
a of the tablet) was at the 'Covered Up'
(Tegmine, ζ Cancri) star which at the time of
rongorongo happened to be 123 days after 0h:

Ga7-10 (heliacal Acrab at the end of the
compressed henua calendar) was glyph 179 = 56 + 123 (=
the distance from July 1 to November 1). It suggests 403 (= 31 * 13) days
in some way could correspond to 123 glyphs, in
case
it would be like a compression
(contraction, shortening) amounting to 40 weeks = 280 days.
And 364 - 280 = 84 = the Julian day
number for spring equinox. 348 (glyphs on side b of the C
tablet) + 123 = 471 (number of glyphs on the G
tablet). 1½ * 314 - 12 * 29 = 123.
Sirius stood still in spite of
the precession, causing a star view
compression on one side and the opposite at the
other side. In a Sun calendar, however, this could have
been viewed as a stretching out of the season
before Sirius - to begin earlier and earlier among
the stars - followed by
a complementary contraction (among the stars) from
Sirius to autumn equinox.
May 15 (135) + 45 = 180 (Mebsuta)
and Acrab (323, Ga7-10) - 45 = 278 (Diadem, just
above and after Vindemiatrix):

The glyph which on the K tablet
corresponded to Ga7-10 was Kb4-14, where we
maybe should read 41.4 as an allusion to the
right ascension day of Bharani, the place for
birth. Number 414 (= 422 - 4 - 4) was also at

There were 15 days from Bharani
to Alcyone, but the day fraction for the Queen
of Sailing was not .4 and therefore she could
not be listed among the 10 first Arab stations
and the Pleiades had to be the end station of
the Arabs.
