Maybe we should count beyond Cb1-11 - which
shows a bird with its tail drawn as an empty downwards oriented
hand, perhaps a Sign of how below (south of the equator) there
are no 'fire fingers' remaining - because the glyph number is

The very bright Toliman (α
Centauri) would in April 27, when close to the Full Moon, have
informed the Easter Islanders that north of the equator it was
spring:
Toliman is at the
right front hoof of the Centaur, not the last star to rise in
the constellation because 5 days later rose κ Centauri -
with a name equal to that of β Lupi which rose in the same day:
Therefore we can
see that κ Centauri must be at the right forearm of the Centaur.
The glyph number
for Toliman is the same as the glyph number for what I think is
a position of Sirius in the G tablet:

This is as close to a 'proof' that I have so
far found for securing glyph numbers, stars, dates, etc.
From heliacal Sirius in June 30 (181) to heliacal Toliman in
day 221 + 80 = 301 (October 28) there are 301 - 181 = 120
days or ⅓ of a
year with 360 days.
In April 27 Toliman was
close to the Full Moon, which for those on Easter Island ought
to have been a Sign of the dark time ahead. The bird in Cb1-11
has its beak closed and the right-handed 'fire finger' tail is down in the
southwest (toga). The glyph type is moa, which normally is drawn
as a cock crying out (moa ohoa) at the first light of dawn
in the northeast
