According to the Gate of the Goat autumn equinox ought to have occurred beyond the end of my perceived calendar (at Ga7-10) - as if it had been cut off too early:

Apollyon (268) - 11h (167) = 101 days.

At the time when I became convinced this was a calendar for the year I had no idea of what came beyond the 29th period. Above I have continued to add multiples of 13 days and find it pleasing with day 402 at its very end (because 13 * 31 = 403).

And ●SEPTEMBER 5 can be read as 7-5 (as in the precessional distance from the Goat to the time of rongorongo), because at the time of the Goat there were only only 10 months in a year:

But if the old year expired at Gb6-20, then we should not stretch our extrapolations of the new year backwards beyond ●DECEMBER 31. Instead we should extrapolate forwards, in which case the heliacal stars and the dates will be quite different:
