We should notice how Ka3-21 seems to be referring back to Ka1-12:

It seems to imply the sitting figure, soon to emerge as a kiore, gradually is coming into view.

Counting days (as I so far have tried to do it) results in 52 (= 4 * 13) , slightly more than 3 right ascension hours. Counting glyphs requires 50 steps.

Next time the figure appears he is in full view and his position is immediately beyond the 'nose' of the Chinese Willow:

In G there is no shape similar to the first hardly more than hinted at kiore in Ka1-12:
