My
last page in the
chapter for line b3
follows. Although
there are more
glyphs in the line I
thought it would be
wise to save them
until discussing
line b4.
At 0h the process of
recycling (haka-taka)
- this time 5 days
long - resulted in a
return of the
Rogo who
evidently had been
immersed beneath the
waves for 73 (= 365
/5) days:

Before the Gregorian
reform of the
calendar the date
March 25 had been
regarded as the day
of spring equinox.
In rongorongo times
precession had added
4 days to ºMarch 21
and once again the
nakshatra position
of 185 days from 0h
would occur before
the equinox - before
the bright Gienah
(γ) at the right
wing of the thirsty
Raven. The order of
the stars had been
restored.
