Gb6-20 can be compared with Eridu at the end of the meekly flowing brother of Tigris.

Instead of fluid running out - maybe marking where the rule of the Great One ended - heliacal Sirius could have defined where dry land was beginning:

If Sirius was the agent behind the rising of the Nile then the surrounding land must have been very dry (maro) just before that. Canopus came only a few days earlier than Sirius. At the time of rongorongo there was a month named He Maro referring to approximately June.

In Gb2-16 there is a composition which resembles that in Gb6-20, but where the 6 'beads of time' are arranged differently, and with water rather than dry land defining a cardinal point:

The difference between the day numbers at the time of the Goat and the day numbers at the time of rongorongo was 290, which possibly could explain why number 29 was prominent in for example the text of Tahua:

59 520 752
Ab1-1 Ab7-26 Aa8-26
580 = 20 * 29 754 = 26 * 29

How to properly 'cut up the Fish' could refer to which of the stars at the tail of Piscis Austrini to begin with.

... 'Now while I'm away,' he said, 'show some common sense and don't be impatient. Don't eat food until I come back, and whatever you do don't start cutting up the fish until I have found a priest and made an offering to the gods, and completed all the necessary rites. When I get back it will be all right to cut him up, and we'll share him out equally then ...

From vero at θ Piscis Austrini to Sirius there were 136 days - a number also used for the date when Atlas and Alcyone were rising with the Sun in May 16 (136):

228 ●OCTOBER 17 (290) 135 ●MARCH 2 (61)
Sheliak (β Lyrae) Atlas and Alcyone
December 31 (365) May 16 (136)

θ Piscis Austrini Sirius
All Hearts' Day (45) June 30 (181)

The Foundation 'Stone' (Temennu) was one thing and the Foundation itself (Bunda) was something else.

Once again. The nose of the Great Dog was Sirius and here could have been a point where 'the two bands that form the soul of the world' crossed each other like the letter Χ:

From heliacal Sirius in June 30 (181) to All Hearts' Day (45) there wers 229 days, equal to the number of glyphs on side a of the tablet:
