The position of the night Otua at Ca7-16 was probably Significant:

September 21 (264) is 100 days before the end of a year with 364 days and 184 days after March 21. Right ascension 12h has just passed. The beginning of the C text has 2 'not quite real' glyphs, as if to indicate that not March 21 but March 23 was the beginning from where to count:

September 21 (264) - March 23 (82) = 182 days, half 364:

82 90 June 22 (173) 90 September 21 (264)
  91
182

Evidently the important (central) date was not June 21 but St John's Eve:

 Tejat Prior (93.4)  κ Aurigae (93.6) Furud (94.9), Tejat Posterior, Mirzam (95.4) Canopus (95.6)

Tejat Prior and Tejat Posterior correspond to the pair of hau tea glyphs. In between is  κ Aurigae, where the letter κ indicates 'the last part of the first half'.

Here the old Tree (rakau) enters henua from behind, and thus there will be tupu (growth) of a new Tree. Possibly this new Tree has Canopus at its beginning.

But we have to go back to the beginning of line Ca4 to find its true origin - or maybe even to the beginning of line Ca2:
