Eye-catching is the similarity between the 'fist held high' in Cb12-3 and that in Cb1-9:

The distance from the one to the other is 268 days:

267
Cb1-10 (402) Cb12-4 (670)

740 - 268 = 472 (= 8 * 59). This suggests Cb12-4 could be at the beginning of a cycle with 472 days.

Close at hand is also to guess side b could incorporate a cycle with 80 + 268 = 348 days.

Judging from the form of the 'arms' in front I would say it is the 'arm of Sun' in Cb1-10 and then perhaps the 'arm of Moon' in Cb12-4. Which agrees with a Moon cycle beginning here.

268 days counted from Cb1-10 could then be 8 + 260, assuming a beginning with 8 dark nights:

Acamar (once named Achernar - the End of the River) is θ Eridani and could be the new year 'baby' depicted in Cb1-18 (where 118 = 472 / 4):

This interpretation seems to agree with the glyphs, the stars, and the dates. Menkar is α Ceti and coincides with Cb1-19.

Menkar culminated at midnight in December 21 (equinox). May 4 (124) + 366 = 490.
