The first star in Andromeda is
'the little egg',
οmikron. In rongorongo times the Sun rose
with ο Andromedae in RA day 348.9, which is
conspiciously early:

Its
declination (42° 33′
N) is markedly close to that of οmikron (42° 20′
N)
The remaining newly listed Andromeda objects
came later, not in glyph line Ga4. But it should be
noted that the first glyph in line Ga5 very well could refer to
ι Andromedae:

Its name was Manus Catenata - 'The Chained
Hand'. In rongorongo times Manus Catenata rose with the Sun in
March 14 (3-14).
Another
name for ι Andromedae was Keff al
Salsalat, which probably meant the same in Arabic. A chained hand is a hand which does not move - spring had not
yet arrived.
Earth and Sky were still in 'close embrace' -
possibly illustrated by henua open at the top in Ga5-3,
which should be compared with the same type of Sign in Ga4-13:
