Could

land'
(distance
from
heliacal
Alcyone
to
heliacal
Sirius)
in
some
way
explain
why
in
my
perceived
'compressed'
calendar
for
the
year
there
were
only
123
glyphs?

... This island was once a great land. The reason it became so small is because Uoke lifted the earth with a (mighty) pole and then let it sink (into the sea). It was because of the very bad people of Te Pito O Te Henua that Uoke lifted the land (and let it crumble) until it became very small. From the uplifted Te Pito O Te Henua, (they) came to the landing site of Nga Tavake, to Te Ohiro. In Rotomea (near Mataveri) they disembarked and climbed up to stay at Vai Marama (a waterplace near Mataveri). During the next month, they moved on to Te Vare (on the slope of the crater Rano Kau). When they saw that the (land-) lifting Uoke also approached (their present) island, Nga Tavake spoke to Te Ohiro: 'The land is sinking into the sea and we are lost!' But Te Ohiro warded off the danger with a magic chant. In Puku Puhipuhi, Uoke's pole broke, and, in this way, at least Nga Tavake's landing site remained (of the formerly great land) ...

Counting 75 days
ahead from June 30 we should find
which stars were rising together
with Sirius at the time
of Haedus II. The result is ο Hydrae
which probably is highly
significant, because this is the
star at the very bottom of the Water
Serpent, between
Crater and Corvus where the
direction changes from down to up
and where the Raven always will go
thirsty:

Whereas
at the opposite side
of the sky, at
ω Aquarii,
there was a maximum of
sweet water:
But
the G text appears
to have a different
story to tell. Below I have
discounted the
distances with 75,
for example (7)
although counted in
glyphs there were
112 - 29 = 83 such from
Tejat Prior (η
Gemini) to
ο Hydrae.
112 (Ga5-2) + 171 +
75 = 358:
The proper
motion of Sirius
was the same
measure as the
precession, but
in the opposite
direction,
whereas
ο Hydrae
would gradually
glide away
farther in the
year while
Sirius stood
still in the
calendar.
