There were 3 weeks (21 glyphs) from the Point (Nash) on the Acher's arrow to the end of side a:
... Wind winnowing is an agricultural method developed by ancient cultures for separating grain from chaff. It is also used to remove weevils or other pests from stored grain. Threshing, the separation of grain or seeds from the husks and straw, is the step in the chaff-removal process that comes before winnowing ... In its simplest form it involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows away the lighter chaff, while the heavier grains fall back down for recovery. Techniques included using a winnowing fan (a shaped basket shaken to raise the chaff) or using a tool (a winnowing fork or shovel) on a pile of harvested grain ... The winnowing-fan (λίκνον [líknon], also meaning a 'cradle') featured in the rites accorded Dionysus and in the Eleusinian Mysteries: 'it was a simple agricultural implement taken over and mysticised by the religion of Dionysus', Jane Ellen Harrison remarked. Dionysus Liknites ('Dionysus of the winnowing fan') was wakened by the Dionysian women, in this instance called Thyiades, in a cave on Parnassus high above Delphi; the winnowing-fan links the god connected with the mystery religions to the agricultural cycle, but mortal Greek babies too were laid in a winnowing-fan. In Callimachus' Hymn to Zeus, Adrasteia lays the infant Zeus in a golden líknon, her goat suckles him and he is given honey. In the Odyssey, the dead oracle Teiresias tells Odysseus to walk away from Ithaca with an oar until a wayfarer tells him it is a winnowing fan, and there to build a shrine to Poseidon ...
When the voyage over the dangerous Sea was in front its ruler Poseidon had to be in a good mood.
(Poseidon temple.) At the time of the Hyades Gate the northern bow star Kaus Borealis (λ) rose with the Sun in day 295 (OCTOBER 22). We can also count 812 (Ga8-12) as 28 * 29:
And at the opposite side of the year compared to the Archer's Bow the great star Canopus changed Sea into Land (Turtle):
... The Pythagoreans make Phaeton fall into Eridanus, burning part of its water, and glowing still at the time when the Argonauts passed by. Ovid stated that since the fall the Nile hides its sources. Rigveda 9.73.3 says that the Great Varuna has hidden the ocean. The Mahabharata tells in its own style why the 'heavenly Ganga' had to be brought down. At the end of the Golden Age (Krita Yuga) a class of Asura who had fought against the 'gods' hid themselves in the ocean where the gods could not reach them, and planned to overthrow the government. So the gods implored Agastya (Canopus, alpha Carinae = Eridu) for help. The great Rishi did as he was bidden, drank up the water of the ocean, and thus laid bare the enemies, who were then slain by the gods. But now, there was no ocean anymore! Implored by the gods to fill the sea again, the Holy One replied: 'That water in sooth hath been digested by me. Some other expedient, therefore, must be thought of by you, if ye desire to make endeavour to fill the ocean ...
5 days after nakshatra Sirius the 18th Arab manzil (ruled by 11 stars) would have been at the Sun, which was coinciding with the transition from Land to Sea, of the end of 220 (= 11 * 20) nights of summer-winter counted from heliacal Aldebaran.
... This [σ] has been identified with Nunki of the Euphratean Tablet of the Thirty Stars, the Star of the Proclamation of the Sea, this Sea being the quarter occupied by Aquarius, Capricornus, Delphinus, Pisces, and Pisces Australis. It is the same space in the sky that Aratos designated as Water ...
From ragi in front in Ga1-6 to ragi at the top in Ga8-22 there were 3 * 73 = 219 nights. The path changed direction after 220 nights, and was no longer following the Furrow of Heaven (Pidnu-sha-Shame). Counting from day zero (MARCH 21) up to and including NOVEMBER 2 there were 306 - 79 = 227 days, i.e. a sign of π (22 / 7).
Precession would have moved the celestial arrow point (vero) Nash ahead in the year from its position together with the Sun in OCTOBER 16 to December 19. I guess we could count 10 (decem) * 19 = 190 and OCTO (8) * 16 = 128, with 190 - 128 = 62:
Hanau (birth) in Gb8-26 (at *59) is quite expressive - Sea at left and Land at right. The left leg was for use out in the sea and the right for moving on land, and 826 = 2 * 413 = 14 * 29˝. ... During his descent the ancestor still possessed the quality of a water spirit, and his body, though preserving its human appearance, owing to its being that of a regenerated man, was equipped with four flexible limbs like serpents after the pattern of the arms of the Great Nummo. The ground was rapidly approaching. The ancestor was still standing, his arms in front of him and the hammer and anvil hanging across his limbs. The shock of his final impact on the earth when he came to the end of the rainbow, scattered in a cloud of dust the animals, vegetables and men disposed on the steps. When calm was restored, the smith was still on the roof, standing erect facing towards the north, his tools still in the same position. But in the shock of landing the hammer and the anvil had broken his arms and legs at the level of elbows and knees, which he did not have before. He thus acquired the joints proper to the new human form, which was to spread over the earth and to devote itself to toil ... Sirius at Ga8-16 (where 816 = 2 * 408) was a special case, unperturbed by the precession and responsible for the rise of the waters of the Nile. For in ancient Egypt they had everything upside down, with up towards the south and down towards the north. When nakshatra Canopus had laid bare the bottom of the Sea it was nakshatra Sirius who made its waters return. ... Pliny wants to assure us that 'the whole sea is conscious of the rise of that star, as is most clearly seen in the Dardanelles, for sea-weed and fishes float on the surface, and everything is turned up from the bottom'. He also remarks that at the rising of the Dog-Star the wine in the cellars begins to stir up and that the still waters move ... ... the modern Homo occidentalis is bound to shrink back from the mere idea that the Nile represented a circle, where 'source' and 'mouth' meet, so that there is nothing preposterous in the notion that a Canopic mouth can be found in the geographical North ... In addition to the nose of the Great Dog his backbone offered a useful calendar star, viz. Wezen (δ). In NOVEMBER 1 Wezen could be observed close to the Full Moon and the completed upside down movement was evidently illustrated in Ga8-22 (where 822 = 6 * 137).
