The neck of the Hydra Serpent curves around just before Alphard, the Solitary One:
This curve was evidently perceived as the place for
a knot (ukdah).
... τ¹,
4.9, flushed white, and τ²,
4.6, lilac, with ι
and the 5th magnitude A, form the curve in the neck, Ptolemy's
Καμπή;
but Kazwini knew them as Ukdah, the Knot ...
In Sweden we have a
tradition to count 20 days from Christmas Eve to 20-dag-Knut
('20-day-Knot'), i.e. to January 13 (378 = the synodic cycle of
Saturn) - which date once could have been perceived by finding
Sadalsud close to the Full Moon as a sign of the Sun being at
Ukdah. The name Knut in our calendar reminds us it is time
to dispose of our Christmas trees.

| Takaure Fly; horse-fly. Vanaga.
A fly; takaure iti, mosquito; takaure marere ke, swarm. Churchill. |
... Night came, midnight came, and Tuu Maheke said to his brother, the last-born: 'You go and sleep. It is up to me to watch over the father.' (He said) the same to the second, the third, and the last. When all had left, when all the brothers were asleep, Tuu Maheke came and cut off the head of Hotu A Matua. Then he covered everything with soil. He hid (the head), took it, and went up. When he was inland, he put (the head) down at Te Avaava Maea. Another day dawned, and the men saw a dense swarm of flies pour forth and spread out like a whirlwind (ure tiatia moana) until it disappeared into the sky.
Tuu Maheke understood. He went up and took the head, which was already stinking in the hole in which it had been hidden. He took it and washed it with fresh water. When it was clean, he took it and hid it anew. Another day came, and again Tuu Maheke came and saw that it was completely dried out (pakapaka). He took it, went away, and washed it with fresh water until (the head) was completely clean. Then he took it and painted it yellow (he pua hai pua renga) and wound a strip of barkcloth (nua) around it. He took it and hid it in the hole of a stone that was exactly the size of the head. He put it there, closed up the stone (from the outside), and left it there. There it stayed ...
In August 17 (day 229 counted from January 1) Tseen Ke (Heaven's Record) - which name I once decided to use for φ Velorum instead of for ψ Velorum - rose with the Sun.
Hevelius had φ Velorum not as a part of the sail but placed at the last to rise of 6 shields, just before Robur Carolinum. This shield appears to carry the picture of a triangular form (spear head).
... Robur Carolinum, Charles' Oak, the Quercia of Italy and the Karlseiche of Germany, was formally published by Halley in 1679 in commemoration of the Royal Oak of his patron, Charles II, in which the king had lain hidden for twenty-four hours after his defeat by Cromwell in the battle of Worcester, on the 3rd of September 1651 ...
