Latin novem means 9 and
November 13 (9-13) can allude to 91 * 3 = 273
(the last day of September).
Glyph 600 coincided with Gregorian day
314 (November 10). But counted from the December solstice (355)
day 314 becomes 355 + 314 - 365 = 304 (October 31).

The 4th Chinese lunar station Room
was characterized as a Hare, possibly referring to the face of the Moon. Its ruling star π Scorpii rose with
the Sun in November 17 (321).

Crocodile in the water and Dragon up in the sky define the
first pair, with Hare followed by Fox as the second pair.
Once a decision had been made to think of a Hare it would be
natural to put a Fox the following position.
The Badger is at the corner 314 days after December 21.
The Hindu system too seems to have relied
on π Scorpii (Vrischika) - although other stars close
by were also noted - and this was their 17th nakshatra
Anuradha, 'following rādhā' (the gift). There
must have been a connection between Visakha and Anuradah:

The idea of a follower (Anuradha
following rādhā, i.e. Visakha
ruled by Zuben Elgenubi) appears also in Al
Dabarān (Follower) ruled by α Tauri (Aldebaran),
θ¹, θ²´, γ (Hyadum I), δ (Hyadum II), and ε (Ain).
Possibly this 'follower' refers to Hyadum I, which
rose 63 days after March 21.
Counted from α
Librae in October 31 (304) there were 365 + 143
- 304 = 204 days to Hyadum I (which followed
Tau-ono after 7 days).
