There is no light in front according to Ca5-22, where 52 * 2 = 104 = 8 * 13 and where the wing in front is drawn down, not allowing
light to enter. Metoro clearly noticed this and did not explain
the glyph with his usual expression
manu rere ('quick bird') but he simly said te manu. At the
opposite side of the year was Alnilam (ε
Orionis - 'a string of pearls' - in the center of the Belt)
culminating at midnight. I have suggested the beginning of
the C text was at the March equiox. 125 days from 0h means at
day 205 (July 24). But in Roman times the heliacal day was
number 205 - 27 = 178 ('June 27) = 6 * 29½ + 1:

Culminating Alnilam had culminating
Arneb (α Leporis) at one side and culminating Phakt
(α Columbae) at the
other. But reasonably also Mintaka (δ
Orionis) respectively Alnitak (ζ Orionis), the 1st
and 3rd stars in the Belt, were culminating before
respectively after Alnilam. Though Allen has no
information regarding their culminating dates.

Raised up arms (haro rima i ruga)
suggest 'sky proppers', 4 of them. Then there comes
an opening (vaha) in day 137 counted from the
beginning of the text, an 'opening for dwelling in
the sky' (vaha noho ragi).
My purpose with comparing the G text
with the C text is to state that with 'twin eyes'
(twin half years) the signs described by the stars
in the sky roof will be similar at opposite sides of
the year. Rising the daytime sky roof for Pollux in the
morning will be
similar to rising the nighttime sky roof for Castor in the
evening. Except
that the construction for Castor (the left eye of
the Sun) must be a ship whereas the construction for
Pollux (the right eye of the Sun) will be on firm
land.
The stern of the ship of Castor ought
to
be described by Argo Navis down in the southwest, in
winter-summer (toga-hora). The house of Pollux
should be higher up. When Argo Navis was beginning
to be visible in the evening, then the Sun should
be at the beginning of the house of Pollux. The
first star in Argo Navis was Canopus and close to
the Full Moon Canopus should therefore signify a season of
light (summer-winter) for people living south of the equator:

"The evening of 23 June, St.
John's Eve, is the eve of celebration before the
Feast Day of Saint John the Baptist. The Gospel of
Luke (Luke 1:36, 56-57) states that John was born
about six months before Jesus; therefore, the feast
of John the Baptist was fixed on 24 June, six months
before Christmas Eve." (Wikipedia)
The baptist surely represented the
watery side.
