The Chinese way stations, possibly for the Sun and the other planets, have lead us far down below the ecliptic (like the tail of exit in Q) and maybe the end station is number 26, where they could be collected like falling stars (or fruits from a Tree) in the Extended Net:

In the center of the Net there is a Knot (ukdah). In G the eating gesture (kai) is not in glyph number 78 but in glyph 80:

The difference 80 - 78 = 2 could be a consequence of the difference at the beginning of the texts. When we have to add 66 to the glyph numbers in K in order to reach the corresponding right ascension day (at least beyond the death of Castor) the rule in G could be to add 64 (i.e., when we count glyphs not from Gb8-30 but from Ga1-1).

The quite special glyph composition with a person who is not sitting down in order to eat but is standing up (as if finished) is used also in the day of Mercury (in the central day of the week, the day of 'turning around', wednes):
