... 'The earth rises up from the sea again, and is green and beautiful and things grow without sowing. Vidar and Vali are alive, for neither the sea nor the flames of Surt have hurt them and they dwell on the Eddyfield, where once stood Asgard. There come also the sons of Thor, Modi and Magni, and bring along his hammer. There come also Balder and Hoder from the other world. All sit down and converse together. They rehearse their runes and talk of events of old days. Then they find in the grass the golden tablets that the Aesir once played with ...

March 24 can be read as 3-24 and therefore as a possible allusion to the last day of the manzil Saad Al Akhbia - because Saad Al Akhbia 1 coincides with March 24 and Saad Al Akhbia 13 is day 324 in the manzil calendar:

Nawaa	Manzil	Begins on	Number of days		Stars
Ash Shabt	18 Al Naam	16 Jan (381)	13	257	Ascella & Nunki (ζ, ς)

kua ruku te manu	te kihikihi - te hoea	te kihikihi - o te vai - te kihikihi

Ruku

(Also rukuruku): To dive; to fish underwater; diving; i-turu-era au ki tai, he-ûi koai te tagata era, e-ruku-mai-era i te îka, i te ura, as I went down to the sea, I saw who those people were, who were fishing underwater for fish and lobsters. Vanaga.

To bathe, to immerse, to swim face down, to dive, to leap into the water from a height. Hakaruku, to cover with water, to immerse, to submerge, to moisten, to wash, to drink. P Mgv.: ruku, to dive, to plunge. Mq.: úku, to dive, to immerse. Churchill.

Hoea, instrument for tattooing. Barthel.

The end of the manzil Saad Al Saud comes with March 23, but in a leap year the focus of attention maybe was 2 days later:

Saad Al Saud 12	13 (311)	366	Saad Al Akhbia 1	2	3 (314)
March 22	23 (82)		March 24 (84)	25 (450)	26

Ca1-1	Ca1-2		*Ca14-6 (369)	*Ca14-7	*Ca14-8
koia	ki te hoea		kua ruku te manu	te kihikihi - te hoea	te kihikihi - o te vai - te kihikihi
koia	ki te hoea	368			te kihikihi - o te vai - te kihikihi

The 'tattooing instrument' (hoea) is possibly depicted inverted in Ca1-2 because in *Ca14-7 it does not allow any light in at bottom and because kihikihi means ashes (soot).

If the day counting should begin with January 3 instead of with January 1, then March 23 in a leap year will be day 81:

Counting from:	Day number at March 23:
Day 1	in an ordinary year	in a leap year
January 3	80	81
January 1	82	83
December 31	83	84
December 21	93	94

Only 84 is a number which can be converted to weeks. There are 12 weeks from December 31 up to and including March 23 in a year with 52 weeks. 52 + 12 = 64 weeks = 448 nights = 32 fortnights.

The difference between 365¼ and 364 accumulates to 5 nights in 4 years, possibly illustrated in the 5 first glyphs of line Ca14, ending with Saad Al Saud 13:

Saad Al Saud 9	10	11	12 (310)	13
March 19	20	21 (81)	22	23 (448)
