The hare pure glyph is number 192 and it probably refers to 'September 1, although I will continue to have it located at Gregorian day 272 (September 29) because the illustrated Full Moon (Omotohi) should end at midnight, not before:

'September 1 could have be regarded as a 'zero-day', defined by heliacal Porrima. The creator of the text could easily have found the possibility to here arrange a Moon calendar with Omotohi positioned as glyph number 24 in line 7 (maybe with 24 for midnight and 7 for the 'earth turtle').
In the Sky (= north of the equator and in the times of Al Sharatain) would then follow a decaying Moon alluding to the fading Sun, beginning with the 5th of 8 lunar calendar periods:

A week earlier is Ca7-25 (193) and here the bird is silent, has closed his mouth (and 72 * 5 = 360). This bird could illustrate heliacal Mimosa (β Crucis), which just has been 'tickled':
... The Sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica L.) is a creeping annual or perennial herb often grown for its curiosity value: the compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched, re-opening within minutes. Mimosa pudica is native to Brazil, but is now a pantropical weed. Other names given to this curious plant are Humble plant, TickleMe plant, Shame plant, Sleeping Grass, Prayer plant, Touch-me-not, Makahiya (Philippines, meaning 'shy'), Mori Vivi (West Indies), mate-loi (false death) (Tonga) ...
... In the evening the leaflets will fold together and the whole leaf droops downward. It then re-opens at sunrise ...
This 'proves' we should here read the glyphs heliacally. Probably it also means we should read the text heliacally, with Porrima defining the first ('zero') day of the 2nd half of the year.
The extraordinary Ca7-27, which evidently illustrates a marama with light at bottom but not at the top, should then represent RA day 194 in rongorongo times and RA day 194 - 27 = 167 in the times of Al Sharatain. 80 + 167 = 247 corresponds to 'September 4, but October 1 (= 80 + 194 = 274) is a more attractive alternative.
In the night sky I would prefer to see κ Crucis as the star ruling Ca7-27, because its RA fraction is 0.4:

κ Crucis is in the Jewel Box, NGC 4755, and therefore not noted in the star map below:
|
Egyptian hand |
 |
Phoenician kaph |
 |
Greek
kappa |
Κ (κ) |
|
Kaph is
thought to have
been derived
from a pictogram
of a hand (in
both modern
Arabic and
modern Hebrew,
kaph
means palm/grip)
...
... The manik,
with the tzab,
or serpent's
rattles as
prefix, runs
across Madrid
tz. 22 , the
figures in the
pictures all
holding the
rattle; it runs
across the
hunting scenes
of Madrid tz.
61, 62, and
finally appears
in all four
clauses of tz.
175, the
so-called
'baptism'
tzolkin. It
seems
impossible, with
all this, to
avoid assigning
the value of
grasping or
receiving. But
in the final
confirmation, we
have the direct
evidence of the
signs for East
and West. For
the East we have
the glyph
Ahau-Kin,
the Lord Sun,
the Lord of Day;
for the West we
have
Manik-Kin,
exactly
corresponding to
the term
Chikin, the
biting or eating
of the Sun,
seizing it in
the mouth.
The pictures
(from Gates)
show east,
north, west, and
south;
respectively
(the lower two
glyphs) 'Lord'
(Ahau)
and 'grasp' (Manik).
Manik was
the 7th day sign
of the 20 and
Ahau the
last
