In a cycle its end has to be intertwined with its beginning. Was this true also in the cycle of the stars in the night?

MAY 8 - where the date (5-8) could have alluded to the difference between 471 (= 150½ * 314) and 14 * 29½ - was accompained by the heliacal rising of the Pegasus Square:

At the time of the Hyades Gate the beginning of the heliacal square (possibly imagined as the foundation of a 'house') had been rising in March 5 (64), but in rongorongo times the precessional clock had pushed the 'fore spout' ahead with another 64 days.

The Hindu system could have expressed it with a reference to the 'land' (summer) which once had begun here - 'the first of the blessed feet' (changing from fish fins to quadrupedal movement, cfr hanau in Gb8-26 where 82 * 6 = 492 possibly could mean a cycle stretched for 20 nights more than 472).

At Gb8-26 and nakshatra DECEMBER 31 (365), day 183 counted from JULY 1 (182), there could perhaps have been a jump in calendar time to nakshatra SEPTEMBER 15 (258), a jump measuring 258 + 365 - 365 = 258 nights. 258 = 6 * 43. The same measure emerges when counting from heliacal JULY 1 (182) to heliacal MARCH 16 (75). 75 + 365 - 182 = 258.

The 'old god birds' (with heads deformed in a way similar to the form of the Mayan elite) are - we can read from ihe tau in front - at their final in Gb8-27 (where  8 * 27 = 216) and will no longer be visible in the text. Excepting for the special specimen in Gb1-12:
