I feel inclined to add stars to my documentation and perhaps we will then find that the repeated (again and again) raindrops from the Paka-kina hole are related to the rainy Hyades.

Perhaps the C text is here Moon-oriented, i.e. describes nakshatra stars. At glyph 243 Metoro said i te mauga pu hia and it could mean that from this 'mountain with a hole' a new counting would begin.

When I inserted the RA hours (16h and 4h) in my structure above I discovered the place was glyph 243. Then I also counted 12 glyphs before and 12 glyphs after. 12 + 1 + 12 = 25.

The Tau-ono stars of the Pleiades (6 like the explorers after Kuukuu had been carried down into a 'hole') could be seen close to Moon in the November night sky. In manzil day 365 the last 6 of the Pleiades stars were rising heliacally.

Glyph 243 is 50 nights beyond number 193. Algenib Persei was rising heliacally in RA day 50.0 = 5 days earlier than the first stars of the Pleiades. Perhaps November 19 was considered similar to May 21.

Counting from September 30 up to and including December 1 there are 255 - 192 = 63 days, i.e. the same as what has to be added to the glyph numbers in the G text (if counted from Gb8-30).

There are 8 weeks from September 30 (273) to November 25 (329), when in rongorongo times Antares (Ana-mua) rose heliacally (249). This was also manzil day 193 (= 365 - 172).

Possibly the 6 explorers left Pu Pakakina when Antares rose heliacally. If so, then we ought to find their arrival to this important rainy cave 1 month earlier. 249 - 30 = 219 (= 3 * 73) = Gregorian day 299:

Omutu could be precisely the right night for 'disappearing into a hole':

Mutu

1. Cut short, shortened, amputated; at an end, ceased; anything cut off short; short, brief, quick (rare). Ua muku ko'u lole, my dress is shortened. He kanaka wāwae muku, a person with amputated foot. Huli muku a'ela nā wa'a, the canoes turned sharply. (PPN mutu.) 2. A measure of length from fingertips of one hand to the elbow of the other arm, when both arms are extended to the side. 3. Broken section of a wave or crest. See lala 1. 4. Same as Mumuku, a wind. 5. Thirtieth night of the moon, when it has entirely disappeared (muku). 6. Starboard ends of 'iako (outrigger booms), hence starboard sides of a canoe. Wehewehe.

I think Algenib Persei - although usually translated as the 'side' of Perseus - could mean his elbow. Possibly the mutu measure means 50 + 5 (rima, hand).

The explorers rode on the waves to the shore - until these broke (mutu). Hatinga Te Ko(e) - the bamboo which broke under the feet of the kuhane of Hau Maka - was maybe the dry old winter 'branch' of the cosmic 'Tree'.
