The names of the stars at the beginning of Cancer are somewhat unclear:

First comes μ which according to Allen was a part of the Chinese Tsih Tsin, meaning Heap of Fuel, an asterism consisting of μ Cancri and χ Geminorum, the last star in Gemini.

Tegmine (ζ) means 'in the covering' according to Allen. A cover is what hides, like a hide, when visibility goes down to zero. The is the central star of the 5 and corresponds to Set, the black adversary of Osiris. This is at glyph 59 in the K text and where the manzil Alhena is beginning.

There is a pair of male gods (Osiris and Horus) before Set and pair of female (Isis and Nephtys) after, but there is also Anubis to consider:

... Sorrowing, then, the two women placed Osiris's coffer on a boat, and when the goddess Isis was alone with it at sea, she opened the chest and, laying her face on the face of her brother, kissed him and wept. The myth goes on to tell of the blessed boat's arrival in the marshes of the Delta, and of how Set, one night hunting the boar by the light of the full moon, discovered the sarcophagus and tore the body into fourteen pieces, which he scattered abroad; so that, once again, the goddess had a difficult task before her.

She was assisted, this time, however, by her little son Horus, who had the head of a hawk, by the son of her sister Nephtys, little Anubis, who had the head of a jackal, and by Nephtys herself, the sister-bride of their wicked brother Set. Anubis, the elder of the two boys, had been conceived one very dark, we are told, when Osiris mistook Nephtys for Isis; so that by some it is argued that the malice of Set must have been inspired not by the public virtue and good name of the noble culture hero, but by this domestic inadventure. The younger, but true son, Horus, on the other hand, had been more fortunately conceived - according to some, when Isis lay upon her dead brother in the boat, or, according to others, as she fluttered about the palace pillar in the form of a bird.

The four bereaved and searching divinities, the two mothers and their two sons, were joined by a fifth, the moon-god Thoth (who appears sometimes in the form of an ibis-headed scribe, at other times in the form of a baboon), and together they found all of Osiris save his genital member, which had been swallowed by a fish. They tightly swathed the broken body in linen bandages, and when they performed over it the rites that thereafter were to be continued in Egypt in the ceremonial burial of kings, Isis fanned the corpse with her wings and Osiris revived, to become the ruler of the dead. He now sits majestically in the underworld, in the Hall of the Two Truths, assisted by forty-two assessors, one from each of the principal districts of Egypt; and there he judges the souls of the dead. These confess before him, and when their hearts have been weighed in a balance against a feather, receive, according to their lives, the reward of virtue and the punishment of sin ...

The 5 feathers in front at Naos (ζ Puppis) could refer to 5 extracalendrical nights, when 5 Gods are born. The new 'fire' ('zayin') could then seem to be fetched from far down at the beached Ship.

... After they had thrown the fish on the beach, Ira said, 'Make a fire and prepare the fish!' When he saw that there was no fire, Ira said, 'One of you go and bring the fire from Hanga Te Pau!' One of the young men went to the fire, took the fire and provisions (from the boat), turned around, and went back to Hanga Hoonu. When he arrived there, he sat down. They prepared the fish in the fire on the flat rocks, cooked them, and ate until they were completely satisfied. Then they gave the name 'The rock, where (the fish) were prepared in the fire with makoi (fruit of Thespesia populnea?) belongs to Ira' (Te Papa Tunu Makoi A Ira). They remained in Hanga Hoonu for five days ...

Perhaps Anubis resides at Naos, a Wolfgod (Upwaut) inside his chamber.

... The king, wearing now a short, stiff archaic mantle, walks in a grave and stately manner to the sanctuary of the wolf-god Upwaut, the 'Opener of the Way', where he anoints the sacred standard and, preceded by this, marches to the palace chapel, into which he disappears. A period of time elapses during which the pharaoh is no longer manifest ...

In the Gateway of the Sun the 3rd black eye of 4 is special. And the beast hanging down at the bottom of the eye also carries a black eye, perhaps representing Anubis or 'The Opener of the Way'. The 3rd great black eye could then correspond to Isis - β Gemini, Al Tarf (the End) - given Osiris has no eye (his eye might be impossible to distinguish from that of Horus or it was lost):

Posnansky understood this figure was standing at the September equinox, at the beginning of the southern spring. If the year has 2 'shells', winter and summer, then the transition from one 'shell' to the other would necessitate a leap.

To visualize the situation a pure at the elbow would be perfect:

Ka3-6	Ka3-7	Ka3-8 (49)
Aludra, Propus (111.1)	Gomeisa (111.6), ρ Gemini (112.1)	Castor (113.4)
'July 10	'11	'12 (193)
Heka 2	3	4 (57)

The primary idea of the pure sign could therefore be to illustrate the jump needed from one season (generation, shell) to reach the next. Such a leap would be outside the regular calendar - a day not visible.

... The cord is decorated with small white cowries, not only a sign of chieftainship but by name, buli leka, a continuation of the metaphor of birth - buli, 'to form', refers in Fijian procreation theory to the conceptual acception of the male in the body of the woman. The sacrificed child of the people will thus give birth to the chief ... (Cfr at Kava.)
