Surely the little (newborn) King (Regulus,
α Leonis)
ought to be a 'yoke star' (koia ra). At his
nakshatra end is Sa'ad-al-Malik (the 'Luck' of the
King), α Aquarii.
We can count from the beginning
of my suggested star year = April 13 (103) to
August 21 (233) and the distance is 130 (= 5 *
26) days, equal to the length of 10 ordinary
manzil periods.
A radical change in late August
occurs just before the 'Moon calendar' (and
Metoro's koia kua oho):

Possibly Metoro meant the
King's spirit of life left him and went
upwards. The glyphs and the structural
order - with the Moon calendar following
afterwards -
together with the words of Metoro,
indicate we should read the text
according to the nakshatra perspective.
This was where Sadalmelik was seen
close to the Full Moon. On Easter Island
they knew this meant Sun would leave (oho)
the northern hemisphere and come to their
own land.
I have redmarked the
Significant star names of Lacerta (Lac.),
because they seem to refer to the
koia ra (cardinal - 'heart' - points of Sun) in
a way which resembles how Metoro
interpreted the structure of the
so-called 'Moon
calendar':
