Sumerian SAG		Phoenician resh		Greek rho	Ρ (ρ)
... Resh (Arabic: rāۥ) is the twentieth letter of many Semitic alphabets, including Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew ... The word resh is usually assumed to have come from a pictogram of a head, ultimately reflecting Proto-Semitic raۥ(i)š-. The word's East Semitic cognate, rēš-*, was one possible phonetic reading of the Sumerian cuneiform sign for 'head' (SAG).

"ι, with δ, η, and κ, was Yew Ke in China, the Right Flag; ρ being Tso Ke, the Left Flag." (Allen)

However, by using the program Cartes du Ciel I managed to find the RA position of ρ, viz. 20h 14m 16.6s (J2000, the same epoch as that used in the Wikipedia star lists).

Flamsteed added i (= 12 Aquilae), an early to rise star close to λ. Flamsteed may have meant this pair to represent the old ruler and his harmless companion. By adding i and subtracting σ and ν he furthermore changed the number of Antinous from 8 to 7 (i.e., according to my interpretation, from night to daytime).

The Aquila constellation is beginning with ε, which in rongorongo times rose with the Sun in January 2:

Egyptian jubilation

Phoenician he

Greek epsilon

Ε (ε)

Wikipedia points at the Egyptian gesture with arms held high as a Sign of jubilation, which may have been the origin (via Phoenician he) of epsilon.

Also Cassiopeia exhibited this jubilation Sign, although she was not standing and not at the beginning of January. Instead she was sitting upside down around spring equinox; she was not a King but a Queen - therefore not falling out of her ruler's chair already at winter solstice but only later:

Possibly this 'upside down' jubilation sign was alluded to in the frozen gesture of the 'dead bird' (manu) looking back in Cb11-9. The tail of this 'bird' was designed similar to an upside down canoe:

According to Metoro the 'Light' (marama) was departing (tere) at Land's End (Nunki). And possibly the dead old ruler (year) was onboard a canoe:

... The trunk is then uprooted and split into faggots which are added to the flames. The twelve merry-men rush in a wild figure-of-eight dance around the fires, singing ecstatically and tearing at the flesh with their teeth. The bloody remains are burnt in the fire, all except the genitals and the head. These are put into an alder-wood boat and floated down the river to an islet ...

Tere

1. To run, to flee, to escape from a prison. 2. To sail a boat (also: hakatere); tere vaka, owner of a fishing boat. 3. (Deap-sea) fisherman; tere kahi, tuna fisherman; tere ho'ou, novice fisherman, one who goes deap-sea fishing for the first time. Penei te huru tûai; he-oho te tere ho'ou ki ruga ki te hakanonoga; ana ta'e rava'a, he-avai e te tahi tagata tere vaka i te îka ki a îa mo hakakoa, mo iri-hakaou ki te hakanonoga i te tahi raá. The ancient custom was like this: the novice fisherman would go to a hakanonoga; if he didn't catch anything, another fisherman would give him fishes to make him happy so he'd go again one day to the hakanonoga (more distant fishing zones where larger fishes are found). Vanaga.

To depart, to run, to take leave, to desert, to escape, to go away, to flee, fugitive, to sail, to row, to take refuge, to withdraw, to retreat, to save oneself; terea, rest, defeat; tetere, to beat a retreat, to go away, refugee; teretere, to go away, hurrah; hakatere, to set free, to despatch, to expel, to let go, to liberate, to conquer, helmsman; terega, departure, sailing; teretai, a sailor. Churchill.

Marama

1. Month, light. The ancient names of the month were: Tua haro, Tehetu'upú, Tarahao, Vaitu nui, Vaitu poru, He Maro, He Anakena, Hora iti, Hora nui, Tagaroa uri, Ko Ruti, Ko Koró. 2. Name of an ancient tribe. Maramara, ember. Vanaga.

Light, day, brightness, to glimmer; month; intelligent, sensible; no tera marama, monthly; marama roa, a long term; horau marama no iti, daybreak; hakamarama, school, to glimmer; hare hakamarama, school, classroom. P Mgv.: màràma, the light, daylight; maràma, wise, learned, instructed, moon. Mq.: maáma, light, broad day, bright, instructed, learned; meama, moon, month. Ta.: marama, moon, month. In form conditionalis this word seems derivative from lama, in which the illuminating sense appears in its signification of a torch. The sense of light, and of specifically the moon, appears in all Polynesia; in Futuna and Uvea the word signifies the world. The tropical extension to the light of intelligence is not found in Nuclear Polynesia, therefore not in the Proto-Samoan, but is a later Tongafiti development. Maramarama, bright; manava maramarama, intelligent. P Pau.: maramarama, intelligent. Ta.: maramarama, light, brightness. Churchill.

The month sense is found in Tahiti, Marquesas, Rarotonga and Maori associated with the moon signification, and in Hawaii is specifically dissociated therefrom to characterize a solar month. Churchill 2.

368 / 2 = 184 (July 3) and there are 2 'feathers' flowing after the 'canoe', i.e. each such could represent a half-year with 184 days.

4 * 46 = 184 and 8 * 46 = 368.

The Antinous star which Flamsteed had added, i Aquilae, has been given the name Bered and it rose at the same time as Ascella (ζ, the armpit - axella - of Sagittarius).

We should remember the double ideas in Greek zeta, sexual intercourse and manacles:

Manacle

ziqq

Phoenician zayin

Greek zeta

Ζ (ζ)

... Zeta (uppercase Ζ, lowercase ζ; Greek: ζήτα ... is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 7. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Zayin. Letters that arose from zeta include the Roman Z and Cyrillic З ...

Zayin (also spelled Zain or Zayn or simply Zay) is the seventh letter of many Semitic abjads ... It represents the sound [z]. The Phoenician letter appears to be named after a sword or other weapon. (In Biblical Hebrew, 'Zayin' means sword, and the verb 'Lezayen' means to arm. In modern Hebrew, 'zayin' means penis and 'lezayen' is a vulgar term which generally means to perform sexual intercourse and is used in a similar fashion to the English word fuck, although the older meaning survives in 'maavak mezuyan' (armed struggle) and 'beton mezuyan' (armed, i.e., reinforced concrete). The Proto-Sinaitic glyph according to Brian Colless may have been called ziqq, based on a hieroglyph depicting a 'manacle'.

And of course we will then also remember the pair of 'armpit' (axella) figures in late November:

On side a of the tablet the Gregorian day numbers equals its glyph number + 80. But the day numbers corresponding to the nakshatra stars is not 183 less but 182 less. For instance is May 24 (144) = 326 - 182.

246 (Ca9-18) is 245 days later than Ca1-1 at September 21 (264). 264 + 245 = 509 = 365 + 144.

These procedures of mine appear to be confirmed by the opposite positions of the RA hours. 16h - 12h = 4h.

Antares rose with the Sun in November 25 (where 92 * 5 = 460) and in the preceding nakshatra stars we recognize those which I have assumed could be heliacal at the beginning of the G text.

On Easter Island heliacal Antares should have been a Sign of summer ahead. According to the Gregorian calendar heliacal Ascella should have been a Sign of the new year which in rongorongo times was beginning in early January. South of the equator January was a month in summer, similar to July.

January 3 (368) - November 25 (329) = 39.

And 39 + 365 = 404 = 182 (July 1) + 222.

... By repeating a charm, she opened the two shells and slipped inside. She could see nothing, because the sun and the moon did not then exist; and then, she could not stand up because there was not enough room in the shellfish. Constantly hunting about she at last found a snail. To endow it with power she placed it under her arm, lay down and slept for three days. Then she let it free, and still hunting about she found another snail bigger than the first one, and treated it in the same way. Then she said to the first snail: 'Can you open this room a little, so that we can sit down?' The snail said it could, and opened the shell a little.
