There is no light in front according to Ca5-22,  where 52 * 2 = 104 = 8 * 13 and where the wing in front is drawn down, not allowing light to enter. Metoro clearly noticed this and did not explain the glyph with his usual expression manu rere ('quick bird') but he simly said te manu. At the opposite side of the year was Alnilam (ε Orionis - 'a string of pearls' - in the center of the Belt) culminating at midnight. I have suggested the beginning of the C text was at the March equiox. 125 days from 0h means at day 205 (July 24). But in Roman times the heliacal day was number 205 - 27 = 178 ('June 27) = 6 * 29½ + 1:

Culminating Alnilam had culminating Arneb (α Leporis) at one side and culminating Phakt (α Columbae) at the other. But reasonably also Mintaka (δ Orionis) respectively Alnitak (ζ Orionis), the 1st and 3rd stars in the Belt, were culminating before respectively after Alnilam. Though Allen has no information regarding their culminating dates.

Raised up arms (haro rima i ruga) suggest 'sky proppers', 4 of them. Then there comes an opening (vaha) in day 137 counted from the beginning of the text, an 'opening for dwelling in the sky' (vaha noho ragi).

My purpose with comparing the G text with the C text is to state that with 'twin eyes' (twin half years) the signs described by the stars in the sky roof will be similar at opposite sides of the year. Rising the daytime sky roof for Pollux in the morning will be similar to rising the nighttime sky roof for Castor in the evening. Except that the construction for Castor (the left eye of the Sun) must be a ship whereas the construction for Pollux (the right eye of the Sun) will be on firm land.

The stern of the ship of Castor ought to be described by Argo Navis down in the southwest, in winter-summer (toga-hora). The house of Pollux should be higher up. When Argo Navis was beginning to be visible in the evening, then the Sun should be at the beginning of the house of Pollux. The first star in Argo Navis was Canopus and close to the Full Moon Canopus should therefore signify a season of light (summer-winter) for people living south of the equator:

"The evening of 23 June, St. John's Eve, is the eve of celebration before the Feast Day of Saint John the Baptist. The Gospel of Luke (Luke 1:36, 56-57) states that John was born about six months before Jesus; therefore, the feast of John the Baptist was fixed on 24 June, six months before Christmas Eve." (Wikipedia)

The baptist surely represented the watery side.
