With the beginning of the text on side a probably
at 0h at the time of the Hyades Gate, we can guess the end of the
text on side b could be attuned to 0h at other later cardinal
times.

7-22 could allude to 314 and
'February 9' was the day when the Chorti
diviners began their agricultural year. April 16 was
the day when in rongorongo times Polaris (Ana-nia,
the pillar to fish by) rose with the Sun and it was
day 471 counted from January 1 in the previous year. In
Roman times the next day was 'March 21 (0h) when
Al Sharatain (the Pair of Signs) defined the
beginning of the new year - at the First Point of
Aries.

At midnight in July 6 (Gb6-26) the position corresponding to January 5 was close to the Full Moon. 5 + 365 = 370 (January 5). Should we then count line b6 as number 8 + 6 = 14 from the beginning of side a we would find 14 * 26 = 364.
Wezen (δ at the back
bone of the Great Dog) means 'weight' and we can guess
the position of Rogo in Gb6-26 indicated a place to be
determined by a line with a weight (Latin plumbum = lead)
hanging down.
...
δ, 2.2, light
yellow, is the modern Wezen, from Al Wezn, Weight,
'as the star seems to rise with difficulty from the horizon';
but Ideler calls this an astonishing star name ...

Δ (δ) |
... Delta
(uppercase Δ, lowercase δ) ... is the fourth
letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system
of Greek numerals it has a value of 4. It
was derived from the Phoenician letter
Dalet.
Letters that
come from delta include Latin D and Cyrillic
Д. A river delta (originally, the Nile River
delta) is so named because its shape
approximates the upper-case letter delta
(the shape is a triangle) ...
Dalet
(dāleth,
also spelled Daleth or Daled)
is the fourth letter of many Semitic
alphabets ... The letter is based on a glyph
of the Middle Bronze Age alphabets, probably
called dalt 'door' (door in Modern
Hebrew is delet), ultimately based on
a hieroglyph depicting a door.

With 364 + 107 = 471
glyphs on the tablet the cycle could have begun at March 21
(Gb6-26) and ended 471 days later in day 80 (March 21) + 471 =
551 = 364 + 187 = July 6, when in rongorongo times Wezen rose
heliacally (Gb6-26).
This cycle would not end
where it had begun but about a quarter later. Why was this so?
Possibly it was because in early July the elliptic orbit of the
Earth around the Sun had its aphelion - its greatest distance
to the Sun. With a vigorous spring Sun at 0h a
sense of cosmic order could have put the weak old Sun at high
summer (north of the equator).
... The seventh
tree is the oak, the tree of Zeus, Juppiter, Hercules, The Dagda
(the chief of the elder Irish gods), Thor, and all the other
Thundergods, Jehovah in so far as he was 'El', and Allah. The
royalty of the oak-tree needs no enlarging upon: most people are
familiar with the argument of Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough,
which concerns the human sacrifice of the oak-king of Nemi on
Midsummer Day. The fuel of the midsummer fires is always oak,
the fire of Vesta at Rome was fed with oak, and the need-fire is
always kindled in an oak-log.
When Gwion writes
in the Câd Goddeu, 'Stout Guardian of the door, His name
in every tongue', he is saying that doors are customarily made
of oak as the strongest and toughest wood and that 'Duir', the
Beth-Luis-Nion name for 'Oak', means 'door' in many European
languages including Old Goidelic dorus, Latin foris,
Greek thura, and German Tür, all derived from the
Sanskrit Dwr, and that Daleth, the Hebrew letter
D, means 'Door' - the 'l' being originally an 'r'.
Midsummer is
the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance
and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning
flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as
its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which
makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and
in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from
Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th.
Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the
oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was
divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July,
apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the
oak-king's honour
