Our first Greek lettered star in Cancer is
ω, maybe connected with Pollux:
Greek
omega |
Ω (ω) |
Omega ... is the 24th
and last letter of the Greek alphabet. In the Greek
numeric system, it has a value of 800. The word
literally means 'great O' (ō mega, mega meaning
'great'), as opposed to omicron, which means 'little O'
(o mikron, micron meaning 'little') ...
The form of the uppercase
letter derives from that of an omicron (Ο) broken up at
the side ... with the edges subsequently turned outward
The modern lowercase
shape goes back to the uncial form
a form that developed
during the 3rd century BC in ancient handwriting on
papyrus, from a flattened-out form of the letter ...
that had its edges curved even further upward
Possibly, I think, this
flattened out form alluded to the high sky 'carapace' in
summer. As to the 'broken up omikron' it could have been
turned at is side as an allusion to the orientation of
the Gemini pair. The uncial form could reflect a pair of
twins joined together (at the star
ω Gemini). |

The first of 32 glyphs similar to Ga3-5 is number
64 (= 8 * 8) counted from the beginning of the text and the
8th Hindu station was Pushya - the Nourisher, as if
pointing to the role of the mother after a birth. July 27
was 128 (= 2 * 64) days from 0h.

The 2nd of these 32 glyphs was at the
opposite side of the sky compared the Belly of the Goat
(Baten Algiedi) and I therefore named this position Belly of
the Sun.

In the time of Bharani the northern
summer solstice was 41 RA days earlier than at *133 and
Ga3-10 has a Janus kind of hau tea in front - a
solstice sign. When Bharani was at the solstice (and
of course also at all other times) the Milky Way was
not far above and
possibly Perseus was a kind of link for the souls:
4 days later was the
π glyph, at heliacal ξ Cancri
and the beginning of the 7th Arab manzil Al Tarf (the
End).

... In rongorongo
times the last Greek lettered star
in Orion (ξ)
rose with the Sun in June 21. The letter seems
to have originated from the Phoenician letter
samekh (tent peg, supporting prop), which in
turn may have been derived from the ancient
Egytian djed column ... |

Cancer star in my list (π) rose 2 days later:
