With few exceptions the kiore+henua glyphs in K have no 'fire feathers' in front, which could indicate 'winter' at the heliacal positions of those stars which in the G text seem to represent 'summer'. The henua calendar in G does not begin until 8h, towards the end of July when indeed it ought to be hot north of the equator:
In astrology the Sun stations are unperturbed by recent precessional effects and each zodiacal sign covers 30º, beginning with Aries and vernal equinox (0º). The heliacal rising of Heap of Fuel at the time of G was thus corresponding to the 1st day of Leo: 4 * 30 * 365.25 / 360 = 121.75 = 8 / 24 * 365.25. In reality the Leo constellations is beginning with Al Minhar al Asad (κ) or in Gregorian day 222 at the time of G (and K):
Maybe mago in Ka4-14 could refer to the real beginning of Leo, 20 days later than the astrological sign Leo:
Perhaps the curious rule (among the Gilbertese Polynesians) never to count a month longer than 20 nights was due to the 20 days of precessional difference between the real constellations and the astrological signs. Each month could begin where its astrological sign defined it and would end where in reality the constellation had its 'nose'. The 5th glyph line in K should 'spell fire' and at Ukdah (the Knot) henua has 'feathers' in front:
