The heliacal stars of May 1 (121) were ideally close to the Full Moon 184 days later in November 1:

Haris (219.7). σ Bootis (220.2), η Centauri (220.4) ρ Lupi (221.0), Toliman (221.2) Kochab (225.0)

In May 1 the naksatra star was Kochab (β Ursae Minoris), which could be imagined as an indication of contrast to the vigour of Mother Nature in May. The changes in winter, half a year later, were slowing down close to nothing at the north pole.

Another 184 glyphs later was Kochab at tara in Cb8-28:

But Bharani was close to the Full Moon already in October 29. A dot marks the fruit (hua) of the kahi. The distance from November 1 to May 1 is 365 + 121 - 305 = 181 days.

If the May 1 rising fish should be the offspring (hua) of the May 5 rising kahi, then we perhaps should count 740 (side a + side b) - (592 - 588) = 736 = 4 * 184.

Alternatively we could count 348 (side b) - (592 - 588) = 344 = 2 * 172.

4 days later than October 29 and 200 days counted from the beginning of side b the kahi stands up and evidently this could be the star Menkar (α) at the nose of the Sea Beast (Cetus).

... Rangitokona, prop up the heaven! // Rangitokona, prop up the morning! // The pillar stands in the empty space.

The thought [memea] stands in the earth-world - // Thought stands also in the sky.

The kahi stands in the earth-world - // Kahi stands also in the sky.

The pillar stands, the pillar - // It ever stands, the pillar of the sky.

Day 490 (May 5) - 365 = 125 and the following day was at 3h and the head of Algol:

410 (Cb1-18) + 182 = 592 (as if pointing to kahi in Cb8-29) and 592 - 365 = 227 (the RA day corresponding to May 4). Acamar is θ Eridani and at Cb8-28 Metoro said ma te tara huki:

Egyptian nfr Phoenician teth Greek theta Θ(θ)

... The form of the letter θ suggests a midline ('waist'), although the origin of θ is the Phoenician tēth which means 'wheel'. This in turn could have originated from a glyph named 'good' which in Egypt was nfr ...

... θ is the last star in the Ara constellation, and the ancient meaning of this letter was described as a wheel by the Phoenicians but for the Egyptian it meant 'good. When the wheel of time has come full cycle around and the upside down fire-altar is in the past the times ahead should be good (or lucky Sa'ad) ...

Huki

1. Pole attached to the poop from which the fishing-net is suspended: huki kupega. 2. Digging stick. 3. To set vertically, to stand (vt.). 4. Huki á te mahina, said of the new moon when both its horns have become visible. Vanaga.

1. To post up, to publish. 2. To cut the throat (uki). Mq.: Small sticks which close up the ridge of a house. Ha.: hui, the small uniting sticks in a thatched house.  Churchill.

Standing upright. Barthel.

M. Spit for roasting. Te Huki, a constellation. Makemson.

Hukihuki. 1. Colic. 2. To transpierce, a pricking. 3. To sink to the bottom. Churchill.

But this time of the year on Easter Island the winter solstice was only 172 - 124 = 48 days ahead and Metoro said manu moe ra, which perhaps meant the Sun (ra) bird (manu) was 'asleep' (moe), i.e. not yet awake. There is a little piece of string in front (at the navel) of the juvenile bird.
