There could consequently have been room for twin

By looking ahead at the beginning of side a it would then have been easy to perceive a 2nd reading, where the equinoxes in rongorongo times could be directly perceived - as immediately could be observed from the stars by the present eyes instead of elaborating upon an internalized traditional map. And there was also the difference between a heliacal and a nakshatra view to consider:

Possibly the southern spring equinox (September 22) with Gienah rising with the Sun was the intended primary reading of Gb6-28, deduced nakshatra wise from looking at Andromeda and Pegasus close to the Full Moon.
In January 7 (372) the star Wasat (the Middle, δ Gemini) could be observed close to the Full Moon. 365 - 107 = 265 (September 22) and the idea of *SEPTEMBER 22 could have come to mind.
