Once again. We have discovered that probably a glyph can refer to a star which I have arranged in parallel with the preceding glyph:

... Because time flows Ca2-1 ought to refer to the preceding day, when Sun rose with Polaris - which easily could be imagined as the head of an octopus:

This new insight made it possible to relate heliacal Porrima (γ Virginis) with the oval 'zero' hare pure Full Moon, where a new fire was to be kindled:

Regulus

In the times of Al Sharatain Porrima rose with the Sun in 'September 1. This is in the center of the Moon calendar, where inside the 'shell house' (te hare pure) someone is sitting down.

I am here assuming it was not possible to illustrates the character of 'September 1 until it was midnight, until the day had been measured out in full ...

If the person inside the oval of the Full Moon depicts Porrima, then this star could represent 'the old woman sitting down to light a fire' (Ko te Nuahine káumu à rangi kote kote) ...

The old fire which had died out must be renewed. There is a dot for counting at the lost 'eye' in Ca7-17 (185) and the mouth is closed for heliacal Mimosa in Ca7-25 (193). 185 = 184 + 1 and 193 = 192 + 1.

The reversed moe bird in Ca7-28 should be contrasted with nakshatra η Andromedae:

  The Jewel Box NGC 4755 κ Crucis 194.4 October 1 (274)   183

And The Jewel Box at κ Crucis explains Ca7-27. I have calculated the RA position for Porrima as 191.5 which easily could be adjusted to 191.4 to fit into the Arab structure.

"Crux also contains the Jewel Box, a bright open cluster, and the Coalsack Nebula, the most prominent dark nebula in the sky." (Wikipedia)

The smallest of the 88 constellations of Ptolemaios (Crux) could illustrate how a new (small) fire had to be ignited (NGC 4755) - because the old fire had turned into black coals.

Porrima represented 'day zero' for the new fire and Delta 'day zero' for the preceding fire.

Looking again at the beginning of the text we will realize that Delta is the bird in Ca1-9 and η Andromedae the bird in Ca1-12:
