Let's
see
which
glyphs
-
according
to
my
early
perceptions
-
were
at
the
September
equinox.
If
this
calendar
really
was
compressed,
then
it
could
not
be
the
same
as
if
its
end
had
been
truncated
(cut
off):

At
day
273
(September
30)
there
was a
vaha
mea
who
was
eating,
which
perhaps referred
to
spring
south
of
the
equator
rather
than
to
autumn
in
the
north.
According
to
the
Gate
of
the
Goat
it
was
early
autumn
and
in
rongorongo
times
it
was
290
days
beyond
December
30:

Evidence from the heliacal stars and the glyphs indicate there indeed was a cardinal point here. The pair in Ga6-9--10 are sitting down back to back as if illustrating Janus. The name of the 13th Arab manzil Al Ghafr menas 'covering'.
Glyph 150 (with the eating figure) corresponded to day 214 counted from 0h at the time of rongorongo and 5 days earlier was vaha mea (also eating) which corresponded to day 214 (●AUGUST 2). But neither of these dates were at the northern autumn equinox. At the time of rongorongo these stars were rising with the Sun too late and at the time of the Goat they were rising too early.
We need a precessional perspective later than that of the Goat and earlier than that of rongorongo. And ●SEPTEMBER 30 (273) should be 273 - 214 (●AUGUST 2) = 59 glyphs later than vaha mea kai in Ga6-5:

Apollyon (ι Scorpii) surely stood for the defeat of the Sun in the 'evening':
