Could the pair of suns at the beginning of line Cb8 allude to the pair of fishes in Pisces?
In April 7 it was not Revati (ζ Piscium) which was close to the full Moon, it was Apami-Atsa (Son of Waters, θ Virginis):
... In Hindu legend there was a mother goddess called Aditi, who had seven offspring. She is called 'Mother of the Gods'. Aditi, whose name means 'free, unbounded, infinity' was assigned in the ancient lists of constellations as the regent of the asterism Punarvasu. Punarvasu is dual in form and means 'The Doublegood Pair'. The singular form of this noun is used to refer to the star Pollux. It is not difficult to surmise that the other member of the Doublegood Pair was Castor ...
South of the equator, on Easter Island, when Kerb (τ Pegasi) in March 10 was close to the Full Moon it could have meant the summer was not far ahead and this was 28 nights earlier than April 7 when Apami-Atsa was close to the Full Moon. ... τ, 4.5, with ν, was Al Sufi's Sa'd al Na'amah, which Knobel thinks should be Al Na'āim, the Cross-bars over a well; but they also were known as Al Karab, the Bucket-rope ... ...The Arabs knew the familiar quadrangle [the Pegasus Square] as Al Dalw, the Water-Bucket, the Amphora of some Latin imitator, which generally was used for the Urn in Aquarius ...
The nicer of the Twin halfyears was on his way. The Hindu system had the prosperous (good) Revati as nakshatra number 28. Metoro mentioned hua te vai ('fruit of waters') only once in his readings for Bishop Jaussen:
My dates in the lower register above are not exactly correct. Should we apply my new rule of glyph number + 182 = RA date, then the RA date at Ca10-3 should be 258 + 182 - 365 = 75, which suggests the 'door' of the 'Twin Goats' (Haedus I and II). The stars (and dates) in the lower register should therefore be pushed 1 day ahead, with for instance Rigel and Capella at Ca10-6 and 'no listed star' at Ca10-7. The gesture of the bent over figure in Ca10-5 is not one of eating, instead he is drinking in the oldfashioned way by splashing water into his mouth. He is in the center between kua hua te vai and kua noho te vai, and the ruling star was λ Eridani.
The 'lemon' in Ca10-3 returns in reversed form in Ca10-7. A newborn halfyear 'Twin' could be seen in the nights of early December and he could be identified from the star which rose with the Sun in June 6 (157 = 314 / 2). This was when the waters from the Eridanus river was reaching Rigel (β Orionis):
It was probably a Sign of the Summer Maid ahead (and maybe nowadays the Twins are female or maybe there always were also a pair of female twins):
... Hamiora Pio once spoke as follows to the writer: 'Friend! Let me tell of the offspring of Tangaroa-akiukiu, whose two daughters were Hine-raumati (the Summer Maid - personified form of summer) and Hine-takurua (the Winter Maid - personification of winter), both of whom where taken to wife by the sun ... Now, these women had different homes. Hine-takurua lived with her elder Tangaroa (a sea being - origin and personified form of fish). Her labours were connected with Tangaroa - that is, with fish. Hine-raumati dwelt on land, where she cultivated food products, and attended to the taking of game and forest products, all such things connected with Tane ... The year could have begun with the Pleiades and the Winter Maid:
Glyph 58 (Ca3-7) + 182 = 240 and 80 + 240 = 320 (November 16). May 17 (Sheratan 1) is day 137 and 365 + 137 - 320 = 182 days.
365 - 182 = 183 and June 6 (157) + 183 = 340 (December 6) where Metoro said kua noho te vai (water is residing). And it was probably a time of Tane, because there was a toromiro growing here. The dot in front in Ca10-6 (261) is probably important for counting correctly. 261 + 182 - 365 = 78 (RA-day), and 80 + 78 = 158 = June 7. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
