The White Tiger looks like a continental plate being submerged below the Red Bird plate moving in the opposite direction and pushed upwards by the White Tiger. The head of the White Tiger is low and that of the Red Bird is high:

The Three Stars moon station is connected primarily with Alnitak (ζ Orionis), the 3rd and last to rise of the Belt Stars. Possibly this has to do with the special character of Ka1-3:

Spring 'stones' out in the water (?)
Ka1-1 Ka1-2 Ka1-3
Motu Nui Motu Iti Motu Kaokao

The central element in Ka1-3 is the 'vacant' henua sign which we have seen earlier in Ga1-23, in Ga5-30, in Eb6-1, and in ancient Egypt (cfr the Preliminary Overview of the G text, line a6):

Ga1-22 Ga1-23 Ga1-24 (25) Ga1-25 Ga1-26 (*90)
γ Leporis (85.9) Saiph (86.5), ζ Leporis (86.6) Wezn (87.6), δ Leporis (87.7), Betelgeuze (88.3) η Leporis (89.0), Praja-pāti, Menkalinan, Mahashim, and γ Columbae (89.3) η Columbae (89.7), μ Orionis (90.3)

... 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 ...

Given a parallel with Alnitak there could be a 'black night' after the last sign of the White Tiger. Following the equator in the sky the Milky Way will bar the way beyond Orion, and only later will Gemini arrive on the other side of this 'wall'. Sun is moving in a lower terrain than Auriga.

The 4th glyph should be the unlucky one. To swim between the mainland and the islets was presumably not without hazards.

Spring 'stones' out in the water:  
Ka1-1 Ka1-2 Ka1-3 Ka1-4
Motu Nui Motu Iti Motu Kaokao  

Maybe the names of the months in the 4th quarter (counted from the 1st month of the year, He Anakena) could refer to the 3 islets:

Vaitu Nui April (?)
Vaitu Potu May (?)
He Maro June (?)
He Anakena July (?)

Realizing the similarity in names and relative positions we can deduce the name of June, He Maro, may have been in the mind of the creator of the K text. The 3 strongly drawn 'maro feathers' in Ka1-3 suggests the solstice month. Let's try to assign the months to the glyphs:

Ka1-1 Ka1-2 Ka1-3
10 Vaitu Nui 11 Vaitu Potu 12 He Maro
Ka1-4 Ka1-5 Ka1-6
 1 He Anakena  2 Hora Iti 3 Hora Nui
Ka1-7 Ka1-8 Ka1-9 Ka1-10
4 Tagaroa Uri 5 Ko Ruti 6 Ko Koró 7 Tua Haro
Ga1-1 Ga1-2 Ga1-3 Ga1-4 Ga1-5 Ga1-6
12 He Maro  1 He Anakena 2 Hora Iti 3 Hora Nui 4 Tagaroa Uri 5 Ko Ruti
  Ain, θ¹ Tauri, θ² Tauri (65.7)   Aldebaran (68.2) Theemin (68.5)  
'May 25 '26 '27 '28 '29 '30 (150)
Sheratan 9 10 11 12 13 14
Ga1-7 Ga1-8 Ga1-9 Ga1-10
6 Ko Koró 7 Tua Haro 8 Tehetu'upú 9 Tarahao
      Hassaleh (73.6)
'May 31 'June 1 '2 '3 (154)
Pleione 1 (15) 2 3 4

These results are not convincing, on the contrary.
