For the Arabs and the
Chinese January 23 was clearly
important. I have redmarked the 3 stars
close to the Full Moon in the 3 nights
from January 23 to January 25 because of
the fraction .4 which probably
integrated these 3 stars with the Arab
structure.

Metoro seems to
have underlined how Bishop
Jaussen ought to count (hia).
January 20 is
Gregorian day 385 = 5 * 77 and
the first day after 20h, when
Betelgeuze culminated at
midnight.
January 25 is
Gregorian day 390 (= 30 * 13).
Mago in
Cb12-10 is glyph 284 (= 384 -
100) counted from the beginning
of side b.
Counted from the
beginning of side a mago
is number 676 = 2 * 338, and where
338 (= 366 - 28) possibly could
allude to December 4 (338).
Anyhow, 676 = 52 * 13.
364 = 52 * 7 and
676 - 364 = 312 = 24 * 13.
Hanau in
Cb12-8 has its right hand
missing and this was in night
number 4 from January 19, when
the Gregorian day number 384 >
13 * 29½. I.e., the Gregorian
day number at hanau was 388 (= 300 + 88).
Metoro mentioned
oho (going away) 3 times,
beginning at vae in
Cb12-6 or 40 weeks
counted from the beginning of
side b.

At January
25 Metoro possibly indicated
that the counting should end
(haga hia). His
preceding hiku could
have had a similar meaning,
when he tried to explain the
highly uplifted tail fin of
mago:
|
Hiku
Tail; caudal
fin.
Hikukio'e,
'rat's tail': a
plant (Cyperus
vegetus).
Vanaga.
...
In the deep
night before the
image [of
Lono] is
first seen,
there is a
Makahiki
ceremony called
'splashing-water'
(hi'uwai). Kepelino
tells of sacred
chiefs being
carried to the
water where the
people in their
finery are
bathing; in the
excitement
created by the
beauty of their
attire, 'one
person was
attracted to
another, and the
result', says
this convert to
Catholicism,
'was by no means
good'
...

Possibly
there were 6 nights to

From day
