We are still right on our track because 622 (Cb9-20) + 183 = 805 = 2 * 365 + 75 (RA day number) and 75 + 80 = 155 (June 4).

From June 4 (155) we can move backwards: 155 - 184 + 365 = 336 (December 2). The rule to add 183 to the glyph number in order to find its nakshatra RA-day number derives from the first glyph on side a which marks March 22 (not March 21). 1 + 183 = 184 = the distance backwards in time from a heliacal RA day to its corresponding nakshatra RA day.

We could also go ahead from March 22 (at Ca1-1) to find the Gregorian dates. This was our first method and we can see the results are the same:

December 3 4 5 6 (340)
Az Zubana 5 6 7 8 (204)

We have therefore accomplished at least something to stand firmly on as a result of our seemingly interminable dream voyage through the strange and unfamiliar landscape.

This is line Cb10 according to my upgraded presentation:

Cb10-22 is glyph 644 = 392 + 252.

392 = 56 weeks and 252 = 36 weeks. Was this the reason for Metoro's kua vero or did he also think of Christmas Eve?
