The pair of birds in Ga3-18 are together creating an opening (aperture) up in the sky. With Kuukuu buried it was time for the new ruler to be reborn. Al Minhar al Asad means 'the Nose of the Lion'. In Gregorian times this first star in Leo rose with the Sun 137 days after ºMarch 21.

The 7th Arab manzil Al Tarf was ruled by ξ Cancri and λ Leonis (Alterf):

Beyond the Lion's muzzle light would increase in the sky, as evidently could have been illustrated in Ga3-20, where in rongorongo times was the 'tent peg' (ξ) for raising the Lion sky.

Ras Elaset Australis (ε Leonis) is the star at the cheek of the Lion. But on Easter Island there were no lions and the season was the opposite to that north of the equator. A shark (mago) with closed mouth could be the proper picture. Ras Elaset Australis means the Southern Head of the Lion and with no open mouth for the shark its head will become the Sign.
