By the power of its RA fraction the 9th manzil Al Zubrah (the Mane) must have been ruled by Coxa (θ Leonis):

Allen:
"θ,
3.5, in the manzil Al Zubrah shares with δ [Leonis] the title Al
Harātān, Al Bīrūnī saying that 'when they rise Suhail is seen in Al
Izak', - wherever this may be.
The Century Cyclopedia
gives Chort as the individual name, from the combined title.
Ulug Beg substituted the 5th
magnitude Fl. 72 for δ as the second member of the manzil, his
translator placing them in coxis, 'in the hips' as does the Heis
Atlas."
"Zosma and Zozma
[for δ Leonis] are from Ζωσμα, the Girdle, found in the
Persian Tables; but its propriety as a stellar title is doubtful,
for the star is on the Lion's rump, near the tail.
Ulug Beg very correctly termed it
Al Thahr al Asad, the Lion's Back, which has become Duhr
and Dhur of modern catalogues.
With θ, on the hind quarter, it
constituted the 9th manzil, Al Zubrah, the Mane, and itself bears this
name as Zubra, - strange titles for star and station so far away
from that feature of the animal.
δ and θ also were Al Kāhil al
Asad, the Space between the Shoulders of the Lion; and Al Harātān,
sometimes transcribed Chortan, and translated the Two Little
Ribs, or the two Khurt, or Holes, penetrating into the interior
of the Lion, but all these seem as inapplicable as are the other
titles."
The Greek letter θ
(for Coxa) could, I
suggest, refer to a point halfway through the cycle of the Sun, in the
midline (the 'Girdle', Ζωσμα) between his upper and lower parts,
a position where things are 'good', nfr:
Possibly the name Mane (Al
Zubra) of the Lion refers back to the position of the star η Leonis
(AL JABHAH),
which in turn could refer back to some star
on the Lion's Forehead, such as μ.(Ras Elaset Borealis).
The name of the 7th manzil Al Tarf
means the End, and it could refer to a point of turning around,
possibly changing the time order so that the
guiding stars of the following manazil not will be in front but at the
back side (end) of the manzil.
If 22h (at the heliacal
rising of Sadalmelik - the Lucky King) should mark the completed
Sun cycle, then its half should be at 11h.
11h / 24h * 365.25 = 167.4 and
this
fraction is in harmony with the manzil structure. 13 * 19 = 247 = 167 +
80.

In September 4 (247) the star Dubhe - α Ursae Majoris, Ana-tipu, upper-side-pillar ('where the guards stood') - rose with the Sun. This (Cb6-26) is the place for the 3rd (on side b) moko and 62 * 6 = 372 (= 12 * 31 which might allude to the number of daytime hours in a month). In Gb6-26 we have the March equinox (with Rogo).
The following glyph seems to illustrate how growth (tupu) is beginning again from the dead body, from his - the King's - 'ashes', te kihikihi:

kua tupu te

What tipu (in Ana-tipu) means is not quite clear. It sounds like the opposite of tupu. Possibly it is some kind of hole (pu):
Tiputa Pau.: To bore, to perforate. Ta.: tiputa, to pierce. Mq.: tiputa, id. Ha.: kipuka, an opening. Churchill. |
... δ and θ also were Al Kāhil al
Asad, the Space between the Shoulders of the Lion; and Al Harātān,
sometimes transcribed Chortan, and translated the Two Little
Ribs, or the two Khurt, or Holes, penetrating into the interior
of the Lion, but all these seem as inapplicable as are the other
titles ...
