The creator of the G text could then, I am at present thinking, have counted 41 days back in the text from heliacal Antares in day 185 in order to find the corresponding day at the time when Sheratan was at 0h and Antares was 41 days later:

Indeed there is a peculiar kind of vaha mea where Sheratan was close to the Full Moon. But instead of a 'curving' henua at nakshatra Polaris there is a straight henua:

heliacal
39
Polaris Sheratan   Aldebaran
41  
nakshatra 39 heliacal
Polaris Sheratan   Antares
41  

From this exercise it is obvious we should find the place for nakshatra Aldebaran closely after heliacal Antares. My method of adding 183 to the heliacal day number means nakshatra Aldebaran must be at the following glyph:

  Antares   Aldebaran    
176
    Antares Aldebaran    

We can perceive the upraised empty hands at nakshatra Aldebaran as a sign for empty (pau, finished):

Gb8-11 Ga7-17
vai pau henua pau

This could then be the opposite of the greeting sign at nakshatra Antares. There were 185 days which could refer to the domain of Land (once upon a time coinciding with summer north of the equator):

183
Ga1-2 Ga7-17 (186)
185
Egyptian jubilation Phoenician he Greek epsilon Ε (ε)

Wikipedia points at the Egyptian gesture with arms held high as a Sign of jubilation, which may have been the origin (via Phoenician he) of epsilon.
