35 days at 'Sea' followed by 28 days on land equals 5 + 4 = 9 weeks. Then the measure became double-months. 35 + 87 = 122 = 2 * 61.

Phoenician nūn |
 |
Greek nu |
Ν (ν) |

... Nun is thought to have come from a pictogram of a snake (the Hebrew word for snake, nachash begins with a Nun and snake in Aramaic is nun) or eel.
Some have hypothesized a hieroglyph of a fish in water for its origin (in Arabic, nūn means large fish or whale). The Phoenician letter was named nūn 'fish', but the glyph has been suggested to descend from a hypothetical Proto-Canaanite nahš 'snake', based on the name in Ethiopic, ultimately from a hieroglyph representing a snake.
... Nahš in modern Arabic literally means 'bad luck'. The cognate letter in Ge'ez and descended Semitic languages of Ethiopia is nehas, which also means 'brass'. |
Life was returning, it was the opposite of 'bad luck'. And 'eating' was in the central position of Cb1-17:

Cb1-17 is glyph 409, a number which equals 472 - 63. From the time when Denebola (the 'tail of life') culminated in the night sky there were 4 days to the time when Zuben Elschemali (β Librae) - possibly referred to by the peculiar hoea glyph - was close to the Full Moon. Perhaps we should read the glyphs nakshatra wise when Bharani ruled.

Ο (ο) |
|
... The letter name is derived from Proto-Semitic *‘ayn-, eye, and the Phoenician letter had an eye-shape, ultimately derived from the jr hieroglyph ... To this day, ‘ayin in Hebrew, Arabic and Maltese means 'eye' and 'spring' (‘ayno in Neo-Aramaic). |

The extraordinary head of tagata in Cb8-15 resembles the opposite of the receiving hands in Cb1-23. Zibal is ζ Eridani. Receiving hands are illustrated also in Cb1-16--17, immediately after Bharani at niu. From Bharani to Zuben Elgenubi there were 224.2 - 41.4 = 182.8 days.

Zuben Elakribi is the faint star δ Librae (and possibly the position of Rogo - 409 - at 0h in the G text alludes to this star): "δ ... seems to have been associated with μ Virginis in the Akkadian lunar asterism Mulu-izi, the Man of Fire, connected with the star-god Laterak; and in the Sogdian Fasariva and the Khorasmian Sara-fasariva, both titles signifying the One next to the Leader, i.e. the preceding moon station, ι, κ, and λ Virginis. It is a variable of the Algol type, discovered by Schmidt in 1859, with a period of nearly two days and eight hours, the light oscillation occupying twelve hours." (Allen) But the 'Twins who are opposite to the True Shepherd of Anu [Orion]' are Lulal and Laterak at the other side of the sky compared to Virgo:
