The 4th (death) glyph line in the C text was probably beginning at Nodus I.
...
Interestingly,
since another meaning of shi is 'death', the number 4 is
considered unlucky. (For example, the floor numbering in hotels
sometimes jumps mysteriously from 3 to 5; it's also considered
unlucky to give four of something as a present.) ...
And 12 days later there was a new rakau, at ٭OCTOBER 1 (274 = 3 * 91 + 1). According to Hevelius this was where the tail of the Serpent was beginning.
Like Orion and Bootes the
Serpent Carrier had his left foot resting on a place of birth,
here Praesaepe (the Beehive). Time runs towards the
right and the tail of the Serpent came later. Maybe all these 3
great figures in the sky were not climbing up as the first
impression may be, but climbing down while looking back - with
no personal future ahead. Perhaps they sacrificed themselves for
the new generation, buried themselves. The right foot of
Serpentarius is not only down below 0° but also below the
ecliptic:

In rongorongo times the
Dragon star (Thuban) was at the Sun in day 292 (October 19) =
60 days earlier than rakau at December 18 (352). Hevelius has drawn the
Dragon without
arms or legs - like a Serpent uplifted to his resting place, to his couch
(with the left foot of Hercules on his head).
But his tail - beginning with Thuban - was outside the polar
circle:
Benetnash (the leader of the bier for the dead
one) came 4 days earlier than Thuban and here Metoro said kiore ki
te huaga, the Rat to the place of his offspring. Then he
said kua
moe ki te tai (sleeping in the sea) at what could be his head. At the
opposite side of the sky was Polaris (the Pillar-to-fish-by,
Ana-nia).
Evidently it all began at 71 Virginis (where 71 = 26000 /
366) and where the Rat choked on a fishbone (haka-raoa). In
other words, I think Metoro correctly saw the text was describing the
change from Thuban to Polaris as leading star at the pole:

... The manik, with the tzab, or serpent's rattles as prefix, runs across Madrid tz. 22 , the figures in the pictures all holding the rattle; it runs across the hunting scenes of Madrid tz. 61, 62, and finally appears in all four clauses of tz. 175, the so-called 'baptism' tzolkin. It seems impossible, with all this, to avoid assigning the value of grasping or receiving. But in the final confirmation, we have the direct evidence of the signs for East and West. For the East we have the glyph Ahau-Kin, the Lord Sun, the Lord of Day; for the West we have Manik-Kin, exactly corresponding to the term Chikin, the biting or eating of the Sun, seizing it in the mouth.
 
The pictures (from Gates) show east, north, west, and south; respectively (the lower two glyphs) 'Lord' (Ahau) and 'grasp' (Manik). Manik was the 7th day sign of the 20 and Ahau the last ... |
