I have suggested there was a traditional star-oriented calendar dating from Roman times, when an effort had been done to coordinate the Sun cycle with the stars. Therefore we should look also at the dates from the time when Al Sharatain was at 0h.
Furthermore, the star
images were from early times and the glyphs were possibly
referring also to the time of the Hyades Gate and to the time
when Wezen at the back bone of Canis Major was at 0h.
The heliacal stars at
*FEBRUARY 9 (40) - at the time when Wezen was at 0h - would have
been at MARCH 24 (83 = 40 + 43) when the Hyades Gate was at 0h:

3 feathers up front on the forehead of ariki in Ga1-5
could represent 3 spring months ahead, associated with
the direction northeast (tokerau).
... The expressions Tonga, Kona,
Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the quarter of an
island or of the wind, between the south and west, and
Tokelau, Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw.,
Tah.), to indicate the opposite directions from north to
east - expressions universal throughout Polynesia, and but
little modified by subsequent local circumstances - point
strongly to a former habitat in lands where the regular
monsoons prevailed. Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona',
contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana',
signifies 'the setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau',
of which the other forms are merely dialectical variations,
signifies 'the cold, chilly sea' ...
Because at takaure in Ga4-2, 80 glyphs
later, there are 3 feathers low on the back side - the direction
southwest (toga). Between the end of the short glyph line
Ga3 and the beginning of line Ga4 there could be 7 days missing
and 80 + 7 = 87 = 3 * 29.
... The possible
analogy between line and glyph number and the
heliacal dates at the time of the Hyades Gate -
with MARCH 21 (80) comparable to JUNE 9 at
Ga3-21 - cannot be carried beyond Ga3-24.
Instead, MARCH 25 (EQUINOX) becomes like APRIL
1. I.e. there appears to be 91 (APRIL 1) - 84 =
7 days missing ...
If my interpretation is correct, then the
heliacal stars in rongorongo times would have pushed the
calendar dates from Al Sharatain ahead with 27 glyphs
(days). Instead of 'August 15 (227 as in 22/7 =
π) at Ga4-27 the leading stars now would have been in day 227 + 27 = 254 (100
days before 6 * 59 = 354).

By adding 300 to the glyph numbers we will
find the day numbers when the First Point of Aries was at
0h. For instance was 'January 28 (393) = 300 + 93
(Ga4-10).
The Chinese had their extraordinary station
Extended Net ending where the Sun reached μ
Hydrae, i.e. in the day when Procyon culminated at
midnight. The Extended Net began at
ε - at the eye of the
Hydra which should remind us of the eye of the Bull (ε
Tauri) at the beginning of the text:

If the heliacal stars should be our guides up to
the end of line Ga3, then maybe in line Ga4 the Full Moon
could give us support with her nakshatra stars. Beyond
the Tree of Jupiter there is a beautiful (maitaki) Moon crescent.
An undulating serpent is hidden in the branches at the
opposite side.

13 * 29½ = 383½ |
The Full Moon should have reached a
cardinal point here, because 13 * 29½ = 383½. A
jump in time would not be out of place.
θ Piscis Austrini was at the Sun and in rongorongo times this star would have moved
ahead to Februry 14 (2-14). At this time the 5 stones of the proper shapes and colours
would have been fetched from the sacred spring.

Θ (θ) |

... The form of the letter
θ suggests a midline ('waist'),
although the origin of θ is the
Phoenician tēth which
means 'wheel'. This in turn
could have originated from a
glyph named 'good' which in
Egypt was nfr ...
... θ is the last star in the
Ara constellation, and the
ancient meaning of this letter
was described as a wheel by the
Phoenicians but for the Egyptian
it meant 'good'.
When the wheel of time has come
full cycle around and the upside
down fire-altar is in the past
the times ahead should be good
(or lucky Sa'ad)

The upside down Southern
Fish could possibly illustrate what came
at the mirror (nakshatra) side of
Aquarius:
