Uncertainty may have ruled as to from where this 'Tree of Time' should be assumed to begin. If it was thought of as connected with the Sun, then it would have moved in relation to the sky roof creating discussions.
Possibly this explains why the stars before and after Arcturus in the Tahitian list were 'discussion pillars' in opposition to Arcturus which stood firm:
|

Ana-heu-heu-po, the pillar where debates were held |
Alphard, α Hydrae |
|
6 |
Ana-tahua-taata-metua-te-tupu-mavae, a pillar to stand by |
Arcturus, α Bootis |
|
7 |
Ana-tahua-vahine-o-toa-te-manava, pillar for elocution |
Procyon, α Canis Minoris |
Counting (in rongorongo times) from the first of the rakau glyphs, Ca4-13, to the hoea (tattoing instrument) in Cb1-5 the distance was 13 + 295 = 308 days:

There were 6 'feathers' (or rather branches) on each side of the Rakau tree, probably identifying it as an aspect of the Sun (if counted with twice 6 = 12 months or with twice 6 = 12 halfmonths).
Rakau in Ca4-20 is similar to Rakau at Sirius 5 days later (which was the number of nights needed for Nut to produce her offspring). But 1 of the 'limbs' is missing at the Sirius Rakau, one of those in front. Perhaps this phenomenon was explained in Ca4-18:

Greek zeta |
Ζ (ζ) |
|
... Zeta (uppercase Ζ, lowercase ζ; Greek: ζήτα ... is the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 7. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Zayin. Letters that arose from zeta include the Roman Z and Cyrillic З ...
Zayin (also spelled Zain or Zayn or simply Zay) is the seventh letter of many Semitic abjads ... It represents the sound [z]. The Phoenician letter appears to be named after a sword or other weapon. (In Biblical Hebrew, 'Zayin' means sword, and the verb 'Lezayen' means to arm. In modern Hebrew, 'zayin' means penis and 'lezayen' is a vulgar term which generally means to perform sexual intercourse and is used in a similar fashion to the English word fuck, although the older meaning survives in 'maavak mezuyan' (armed struggle) and 'beton mezuyan' (armed, i.e., reinforced concrete). The Proto-Sinaitic glyph according to Brian Colless may have been called ziqq, based on a hieroglyph depicting a 'manacle'. |
And this lost 'Tree limb' seems to be carried off by Columba:
Although in ancient Egypt, where they saw everything upside down, it was not a bird but a fish:
... The four bereaved and searching divinities, the two mothers and their two sons, were joined by a fifth, the moon-god Thoth (who appears sometimes in the form of an ibis-headed scribe, at other times in the form of a baboon), and together they found all of Osiris save his genital member, which had been swallowed by a fish ...
I guess the lost 'tree limb' may have been used for tilling the earth:
Where a great branch has been severed from the tree we can count only to 5 'rays', i.e. 1 such is missing. The lines in the net of fields are drawn towards the horizon and converging at a black spidery form. The remaining tree branches above are like a cloud cover.
