Let's now leave the world of Ibn 'Arab for a while to let all
the
new ideas sink in. Instead we should return to the
glyphs in line Cb3.
At the end of line Cb2 the first
part of the Hindu 4th station Rohini could be
described as a season when the old Ruler goes away,
connected with one or several
tapu nights:

The first stars of Auriga will be
followed ca 15 glyphs later by Capella
and then by those stars which form the 6h right ascension line
at the solstice (at the Charioteer's goat leather
ψ whip). But
first there is the 5h line to consider.
15 * 29½ =
442½ should be kept in mind when trying to explain
the pair of glyphs at the beginning of line Cb3 (where 157 = 314 / 2 = 442
- 285):

Glyph number 443 at Cb3-2 includes February 29. Otherwise the number at heliacal λ Eridani would have been 442 (= 77 + 365).
There is a dot at henua in front. The short straight bottom line is outstretched a bit to the left. Metoro said ku kikiu instead of his ordinary kiore, possibly meaning Sun is tied securely to Mother Earth. He used the same expression at the glyph for June 1.
| Kikiu Kikiu. 1. Said of food insufficiently cooked and therefore tough: kai kikiu. 2. To tie securely; to tighten the knots of a snare: ku-kikiu-á te hereíga, the knot has been tightened. 3. Figuratively: mean, tight, stingy; puoko kikiu. a miser; also: eve kikiu. 4. To squeak (of rats, chickens). Kiukiu, to chirp (of chicks and birds); to make short noises. The first bells brought by the missionaries were given this name. Vanaga.
Kiukiu (kikiu). 1. To resound, to ring, sonorous, bell, bronze; kiukiu rikiriki, hand bell; tagi kiukiu, sound of a bell; kikiu, to ring, the squeeking of rats; tariga kikiu, din, buzzing; hakakiukiu, to ring. Mgv.: kiukiu, a thin sound, a soft sweet sound. 2. To disobey, disobedience; mogugu kiukiu, ungrateful; ka kikiu ro, to importune. Churchill. |
Possibly the front part of Cb3-1 refers to the new right ascension hour in contrast to the reversed 'bird' at left. Metoro's e vae ra could mean something like 'division - vae - of the Sun, Ra (the sun season)'.
260 days from March 21 is December 6, at the other side of the year compared to 5h, 260 - 76 = 184. In the night of June 5 the star Nodus I (ζ Draconis) was close to the full Moon.
Nodus II (δ Draconis) is 31½ days later. Could the curious 'bird' at left in Cb3-1 illustrate Draco?
