Having corrected my mistake at Cb1-6 we can then continue and compare line Cb1 with line Cb8. I think we should begin with the bird who has closed his mouth - like the Moan 'owl' in the Mayan autumn:

atua hiko ura hiko o tea ka higa te ao ko te henua ra ma te hoi atua

I have here divided the words of Metoro according to his short pauses and the sound of drums will then have ended before the heliacal rising of Mira (ο Ceti).

Toliman (α Centauri) rose with the Sun in October 28 (301) and 184 days after April 27 (117).

The last star ruling the 13th manzil Al Ghafr (Covering - like the apron of a smith) was φ Virginis and by reading the nakshatra side in the nights at the end of April they could see the end of Al Ghafr in October 26 (299).

In Cb1-10 (day 300, October 27) there is a 'fist' held high, with no 'fingers' as yeat counted. April 26 is Gregorian day 116 = 4 * 29.

Metoro apparently read without any pause to indicate how Cb1-10 belonged together with Cb1-11. 116 + 117 = 233.

With pairs of glyphs both at the beginning and the end of my 191 day long sequence above, it is natural to assume there should always - or at least often - be pairs of glyphs to consider. Normally the stars are not located exactly where one day ends and the next is beginning.

The front arm in Cb1-14 is pointing upwards and could be a Sign to be read together with the following niu (probably the Ursa Minoris constellation represented by Kochab, β). And obviously the heliacal stars at Cb1-14 belong together with those at Cb1-15, forming the asterism Musca Borealis (the Hindu 2nd station Bharani).

Then also Cb1-16 and Cb1-17 could possibly be a pair (or even a quartet judging from Metoro):

When people in the nights of early May saw Zuben Elakribi (δ Librae) close to the FulI Moon it portended autumn on Easter Island. 4 days earlier it had been α Librae (Zuben Elgenubi) which was close to the Full Moon.
