Once
again, there evidently
could have been a gap in
time, 107 days long,
between April 16 and
April 18, equal to the
difference between 472
and 365 (or the
difference between 471
and 364):

392 (*Ca14-29) + 107 = 499 = 399 (the synodic cycle of Jupiter) + 100. Father Light seems to jump 100 days forward as if to avoid the threat of being drowned in the watery part of the sky.
The
creator of the C
text could have made an effort to
hide this gap
between the end of
the old calendar
leap year and the
new calendar
ordinary year - the
triplet of glyphs at
the beginning of
side b looks like a
continuation of the
similar triplets at
the end of side a.
The
25th manzil of Ibn
'Arabi was named
'The Fortune of the
Hidden' (Al Sa’d
al Ahbiyah).

When the man,
Ulu,
returned to his
wife from his
visit to the
temple at
Puueo, he
said, 'I have
heard the voice
of the noble
Mo'o, and he
has told me that
tonight, as soon
as darkness
draws over the
sea and the
fires of the
volcano goddess,
Pele,
light the clouds
over the crater
of
Mount
Kilauea,
the black cloth
will cover my
head ...
The Chinese
Extended Net
is similar to a
piece of cloth,
but its stars
are at the
opposite end of
the sky and
therefore it
does not cover
anything at all.
We can guess the
position is not
that of death
but of birth.

The living
spirit (manu
rere)
arrives
immediately
after the birth
of a child, when
he cries out and
inhales air for
the first time.
This can be
symbolized with
the arrival of a winged snake
(Alkes, α
Crateris), because
air is between
sky and earth
and
feathers
represent
'light'.
... There is
a couple
residing in
one place
named Kui
and
Fakataka.
After the
couple stay
together for
a while
Fakataka
is pregnant.
So they go
away because
they wish to
go to
another
place - they
go. The
canoe goes
and goes,
the wind
roars, the
sea churns,
the canoe
sinks.
Kui
expires
while
Fakataka
swims.
Fakataka
swims and
swims,
reaching
another
land. She
goes there
and stays on
the upraised
reef in the
freshwater
pools on the
reef, and
there
delivers her
child, a boy
child. She
gives him
the name
Taetagaloa.
When the
baby is born
a golden
plover flies
over and
alights upon
the reef ...
What is covered
by the
Extended Net
should be Alphard (α
Hydrae), because
this great star is
rising between ε
and μ and
ruling the 25th
Chinese station
(Star).
The Chinese Star
station is
connected with
the idea of a
Horse and
Alphard
culminated in

It seem this Chinese
Horse 'fell
on his face'
when (in the
leap year)
the pair of
leading
Phoenix
stars rose
with the
Sun.
My ear can
hear that
Alphard
ought to
mean Al
Phard =
the Horse,
cfr German
das Pferd
= the horse.
At the other
side of the
sky -
as perceived
from Alphard
- the
nakshatra
star could
be Sadalsud
('The
Fortune of
the
Fortunate'),
rising
around 26
days after
'The First
Point in
Capricorn':

Was

another
star
named Sa’d al Su’ud?
308.0
(Dabih)
+ 25.7
(25°42'51")
= 333.7.
It could
have
been Kae
Uh ('The
Roof').
Indeed
this
seems
plausible
because
the
Chinese
saw a
Rooftop
at
Sadalmelik:
