In Kb1-3 henua increasing and in proper shape (no longer partly fluid). The preceding Rei glyph seems to express the opposite of Rei in Ga5-1, a fortnight later:

The order in G is also the opposite to the order in K, with the Rei glyph after a henua with declining top (compared to a henua with inclining top after the Rei glyph in K). Counting the distance between the henua with inclining top (Kb1-3) to the henua with declining top (Ga4-27) is possible to do because we have the dates:

Kb1-1 is exceptional in its design. Kiore has here merged with henua (resulting in 'reinforced concrete').

"ρ [Leonis, Shir], a 4th magnitude, marked the 16th ecliptic constellation of Babylon, Maru-sha-arkat-Sharru, that Epping translated the Fourth Son (or the Four-Year-Old Son) behind the King." (Allen)

Inside kiore-henua there is another entity, perhaps indicating 'birth' (in contrast to the mouth of the descending kahi in Ka3-5).

The design suggests it could be the severed arm of the old kiore. This arm unites the upper parts and the result is an opening (formed like a mouth).

9 days earlier and 150 days from equinox there was a severed leg:

An opening is usually pictured at the neck of the serpentine Hydra:

However, the logic of time should equally well make us look at the serpentine Draco high up in the north:

It is right ascension which counts time, not declination. There are 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6 holes formed by Draco and there are (2 + 1) + (2 + 1) = 6 vertexes oriented upwards in the pair of mama glyphs:

Mama

1. To chew. 2. To mouth-feed (arch.) he-mama i te vai tôa koia ko te tiapito kiroto ki te haha o te poki, she mouth-feeds the child with sugarcane juice together with tiapito juice. 3. A sea mollusc (with an eight-horned shell). Vanaga.

1. To leak, to ooze, (maamaa). P Pau., Mgv., Ta.: mama, id. 2. To chew. P Mgv., Mq., Ta.: mama, id. 3. Light not heavy, (maamaa). P Mgv., Ta.: mama, id. 4. A limpet (Chiton magnificus). Mgv., Mq., mama, a shellfish. 5. To open the mouth; hakamama, to yawn, to gape, to be ajar. Pau.: hamama, to open. Mgv.: akamama, to burst open. Ta.: haamama, to open. Mq.: haámama, to open the mouth. 6. Ta.: mama-orero, conclusion of a council. Ha.: mama, to finish, to have done with a thing. Churchill.

Alterf is λ Leonis. The Nose of the Lion (or maybe Shark in Polynesia) was rising in Gregorian day 222 and Alterf in the day after. In this connection the letter lambda evidently denotes the state immediately before the opening (vaha) of the mouth.

The date Alterf 1 is day 106 in the manzil calendar and 365 + 106 = 471 (= 150½ of 314).

I think the mouth of the young Shark (mago) had to be opened (mama) in order to mouth-feed (mama) him. Life comes through the mouth (cfr in The Scapegoat chapter):

... The ahnetjer (Manuel de Codage transliteration: aH-nTr) depicted as an adze-like instrument, was used in the Opening of the Mouth ceremony, intended to convey power over their senses to statues and mummies. It was apparently the foreleg of a freshly sacrificed bull or cow with which the mouth was touched ... The ritual involved the symbolic animation of a statue or mummy by magically opening its mouth so that it could breathe and speak. There is evidence of this ritual from the Old Kingdom to the Roman Period. Special tools were used to perform the ceremony, such as a ritual adze, an arm shaped ritual censer, a spooned blade known as a peseshkaf, a serpent-head blade, and a variety of other amulets. A calf's leg was also held up to the lips painted on the coffin.

In Gregorian day 230, at ν Leonis and Ka5-6, according to my reading of the text, there is a leg in front and 9 days later there is an arm which could serve as a tool for opening the mouth, thereby creating a vaha mea.

The ecliptic path of Sun could reveal the story of the birth by way of the Greek letters:

λ Inside. 77
ψ Cat's claw (action starts). 80
ν Separation. 84
α Fully in sight. 87
ρ Opening of the Mouth. 93

This table is just the 'bare bones'. And there are alternatives, e.g. Subra (ο Leonis) instead of ψ:

Ka5-2 (80)

'August 14 (226)
Murzim 11 (90)

The star ψ Leonis, the day before Gregorian π (227), could imply the return of the life spirit from above into the little o-mikron egg:

Ka5-2 Ka5-3 Ka5-4
κ Hydrae (145.5), Subra (145.8), ψ Leonis (146.4) Ras Elaset Australis (146.6) υ¹ Hydrae (148.4)
'August 14 '15 (227) '16
Murzim 11 12 13 (92)

The whip of Castor has 3 * 3 = 9 thongs and maybe the missing 'bird foot' is ψ Leonis. 4 * 3 = 12.

Here I feel it is necessary to point at moa te erueru and moa te herehua (cfr at Fish-hook of Maui):

Aa1-1 Aa1-2 Aa1-3 Aa1-4
tagata ui ki tona marama e tagata noho ana - i te ragi te tagata - hakamaroa ana i te ragi

e moa te erueru e moa te kapakapa e moa te herehua ka hora ka tetea
2nd half of a year (?)
Aa1-11 Aa1-12
ihe kuukuu ma te maro ki te henua

I think the 3rd moa (in Aa1-7) refers to a cock who scratches the ground after having fertilized it. Cats behave in a similar manner after defecating.

Heu

Offspring of parents from two different tribes, person of mixed descent, e.g. father Miru, mother Tupahotu. Heuheu, body hair (except genitals and armpits). Vanaga.

1. Heheu; ivi heheu, the cachalot, bone needle; hakaheu, spade, to shovel, to grub up, to scratch the ground, to labor; rava hakaheu, laborious, toilsome. 2. Hakaheu, affair. Churchill.

M. Heu, to separate, to pull asunder; the eaves of a house; heu, a single hair; hau. to hew; heru, to comb; huru, hair on the body; down; feathers; maheu, scattered; maheuheu, shrubs; mahuru, scrub; heuea, to be separated. Text Centre.

The rooster in Aa1-7 is 'tying up the fruit', which in my interpretation of the K text becomes tying the navel string (pito) of the new offspring (hua). The center (pito) of the K text is where side b is beginning and the tying should therefore come early on side b.

Pito

1. Umbilical cord; navel; centre of something: te pito o te henua, centre of the world. Ana poreko te poki, ina ekó rivariva mo uru ki roto ki te hare o here'u i te poki; e-nanagi te pito o te poki, ai ka-rivariva mo uru ki roto ki te hare, when a child is born one must not enter the house immediately, for fear of injuring the child (that is, by breaking the taboo on a house where birth takes place); only after the umbilical cord has been severed can one enter the house. 2. Also something used for doing one's buttons up (buttonhole?). Vanaga.

Navel. Churchill.

H Piko 1. Navel, navel string, umbilical cord. Fig. blood relative, genitals. Cfr piko pau 'iole, wai'olu. Mō ka piko, moku ka piko, wehe i ka piko, the navel cord is cut [friendship between related persons is broken; a relative is cast out of a family]. Pehea kō piko? How is your navel [a facetious greeting avoided by some because of the double meaning]? 2. Summit or top of a hill or mountain; crest; crown of the head; crown of the hat made on a frame (pāpale pahu); tip of the ear; end of a rope; border of a land; center, as of a fishpond wall or kōnane board; place where a stem is attached to the leaf, as of taro. 3. Short for alopiko. I ka piko nō 'oe, lihaliha (song), at the belly portion itself, so very choice and fat. 4. A common taro with many varieties, all with the leaf blade indented at the base up to the piko, junction of blade and stem. 5. Design in plaiting the hat called pāpale 'ie. 6. Bottom round of a carrying net, kōkō. 7. Small wauke rootlets from an old plant. 8. Thatch above a door. 'Oki i ka piko, to cut this thatch; fig. to dedicate a house. Wehewehe.

e moa te kapakapa

Oh rooster, who beats his wings!

e moa te herehua

Oh rooster, who ties up the fruit!
