Although this is far from certain it seems possible the C text will follow the Chinese structure also beyond
Antares:

Next leading star would then be Denebakrab (μ
Scorpii) which
in rongorongo times rose heliacally in December 1 (335). The Chinese
structure (like the C text) appears to be adapted to the Gregorian

... we
can guess 622 at Cb9-30 equals 1½ * 295 + 180 ...
Or 336 (December 2) = 180 +
1½ * 104. A rhomb
of this size would than be equal to 4 * 26.
I think the 1 + 2 nuku
at the end of November are illustrating the absence of light,
because they have no 'eyes' (mata). Down in the earth no
eyes are needed and the 19th Hindu station is Mula, the
root:

Possibly turning around at the Heart
and the beginning of a new year means the lunar stations are no longer
ending with their ruling stars but beginning with them. At
Cb9-29 we could count 92 * 9 = 828 = 2 * 414 and 414 = 14 *
29½ + 1. The figure is looking ahead and November is in the
past.
