December 2 is 256 (= 16 * 16) days beyond March 21:

Pleione 6 is manzil day 20. To reach the corresponding Gregorian day we can add 136. Should we instead subtract 136 the result will be 20 - 136 + 365 = 249 (September 6) and 80 days before Antares rose heliacally:

A circle allows movements in both directions - also withershins - which linear time does not.

My nakshatra stars for December 2-4 are in Auriga and in Lepus, excepting Cursa (β Eridani) close to the shin bone of Orion:

Bootes and Orion are wielding clubs in their right hands but Orion is climbing to the left and up instead of up and forwards. Bootes is north of the equator and Orion south of the equator. Looking towards the equator from the north means finding Sun moving forward from left to right, but south of the equator Sun will be seen to move forward from right to left.

From Rigel (β Orionis) to Arcturus (α Bootis) there are 215.4 - 78.1 = ca 137 days. The other way around is ca 365 - 137 = 228 days. 228 = 12 * 19. Possibly it means Sun once was seen to rise like Arcturus and descend like Orion:

At Ca10-3 Metoro said kua hua te vai, which I guess means the 'offspring' (hua) of 'sweet water' (vai). On the other hand , when this type of sign was in front (in Ca3-7) it was te matagi (the wind). The opposite of wind (which tends to dry things) is rain.

Rain would be good in early June north of the equator and in early December on Easter Island:

winter year in straw dry
summer year in leaf humid
