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).

Egyptian djed Phoenician sāmekh Greek xi Ξ (ξ) 

... 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 ...

The last Greek lettered Cancer star in my list (π) rose 2 days later:
