There are only 3 atariki
glyphs in the text and atariki in Cb8-12 arrives 107
(= 396 - 289) days
earlier than atariki in Cb12-16:
|
182 |
October 16 (289) |
70 |
December 26 (360) |
35 |
January 31 (396) |

Cb11-2 (646/254) |
Cb12-16 (682/290) |
|
72 |
36 |
|
108 |
Obviously we should here count
from the beginning of side b rather than
from the beginning of side a.
10 * 29 = 290 is at
atariki in Cb12-16 and the number of
glyphs on side b is 348 = 12 * 29.
Atariki in October 16 (289) is 182 days
later than April 17 (107) at Ca1-1.
396 - 289 = 289 - 182 = 107
(i.e. 396 = 214 + 182).
The central atariki
is located at Gregorian day 360 = December
26, from where there were 36 days to January
31:

The figure in Cb11-2 has in
font
ihe tau (maybe = death point in time)
which possibly meant a halfyear beginning in
June 26 was ending in December 26.
The difference 360 (heliacal
December 26) - 177 (heliacal June 26) = 183 days
would be extended to 11 * 36 - 177
(= 6 * 29½) = 219 (= 3 * 73) days if we
should measure from
June 26 (177) to January 31 (396).
Arithmetical operations
leads to April 16 (106) as the nakshatra day
opposite to heliacal October 16 (289).

Therefore atariki in Cb8-12
should be connected with heliacal
October 16 (289) and nakshatra April 16
(106).
I will here take the

The
atariki type of glyph
appears to mark a final. The
stars
ν and μ Centauri are close
together at the back of the
'Cavalry Officer', and as
Hevelius has drawn it
halfway down from θ at his
right shoulder and down to γ
where his horse half is
beginning:
|
Egyptian cobra

 |
Phoenician
nūn |
 |
Greek
nu |
Ν (ν) |
|
... Nun
is thought to
have come from a
pictogram of a
snake (the
Hebrew word for
snake,
nachash
begins with a
Nun and
snake in Aramaic
is nun)
or eel.
Some have
hypothesized a
hieroglyph of a
fish in water
for its origin
(in Arabic,
nūn
means large fish
or whale). The
Phoenician
letter was named
nūn
'fish', but the
glyph has been
suggested to
descend from a
hypothetical
Proto-Canaanite
nahš
'snake',
based on the
name in
Ethiopic,
ultimately from
a hieroglyph
representing a
snake.
... Nahš
in modern Arabic
literally means
'bad luck'. The
cognate letter
in Ge'ez and
descended
Semitic
languages of
Ethiopia is
nehas, which
also means
'brass'. |
|

 |
Phoenician
mēm |

Μ (μ) |
Like a loon
resting on the water
ν is just above μ. The star name
Nunki could have nūn
as its first part, because
Nunki (Eridu) marked the
final of Land.
