In rongorongo times Simiram (ω
Carinae) rose heliacally
in August 23. But first we have August 19 to consider, day 231
in the Gregorian calendar:

This day was number 151 counted from
March 21 and one more than 150 becomes one more than
230 counted from January 1. The pure glyph
ought
(like π) to
indicate a portal of exit. The form of the
pure resembles
that at the bottom of the Mountain Tree.
February 17 is
day 14 * 29½ = 413.
Then, at 22h
(and 50 days from January 1) the Lucky One of the King
(Sadalmelik, α Aquarii) was with Sun when in the night
Regulus (α Leonis) was with Moon:
