8. Once again, assuming we must use nakshatra thinking in order to better understand the texts, then maybe at least the beginning of the K text has to be read in a 'contradictory' fashion:

I am using the bis sign for nakshatra dates, e.g. "November 25 for when Sun would have hidden Ain in Taurus from view and Antares on the other side of the sky would have been in full view, and close to the face of the Full Moon.
At the beginning of a new calendar turn, after a leap for half a year, when τ Scorpii was close to the Full Moon (late in 'November) this would have served as a sign Aldebaran was close to Sun (rising heliacally) and therefore invisible.
148 ('May 28) + 181 (the number of glyphs on the tablet) = 329 ('November 25).

I can still give the right ascension days with an asterisk at the K glyphs, but maybe we sometimes should mentally add 183 (e.g. at Ka1-10, where 256.9 - 73.6 = 183.3) in order to reach a better understanding.
And we should perhaps not compare with the first glyphs on side a of the G tablet but instead with those glyphs which arrive half a year later:
