Once again. When the Sun reached η Bootis (Muphrid) it may have been like a Sign for him to leave (kua oho) the northern hemisphere. Because now it was the Full Moon's turn to be at the Front of the Head of Ku, at the Babylonian station Mahrū-sha-rishu-ku. In rongorongo times this happened in October 17, in day 290, and 5 days later came Arcturus:

However, the simplified map above does not include the essential ξ, which was marking the right leg of the Bootes:

Egyptian djed Phoenician sāmekh Greek xi Ξ (ξ) 

... In rongorongo times the last Greek lettered star in Orion (ξ) rose with the Sun in June 21. The letter seems to have originated from the Phoenician letter samekh (tent peg, supporting prop), which in turn may have been derived from the ancient Egytian djed column ...

The distance from ξ Orionis to ξ Bootis was 224.5 - 92.5 = 132 days. 132 = 11 * 12 = 366 - 18 * 13. Number 13 was probably essential for the creators of the rongorongo texts. For instance was 57 * 13 = 39 * 19 = 741 equal to the number of glyph positions on the C tablet (zero + 392 + 348).

The Full Moon was at the Back of the Head of Ku (Arku-sha-rishu-ku) when the Sun had reached his star of exit (π) in the Water Serpent:

The 13th Arab station coincided with day 295 (October 22) and its name Al Ghafr meant the Covering. Like when in the evening a black cloth is thrown over the bird cage to make him quiet.

Then should follow the rest of those 40 nights which were ending at the 6th Chinese station Tail, when the rainy season should have ended (gone away, kua oho):

Egyptian courtyard Phoenician heth Greek eta Η (η)

... The letter shape ultimately goes back to a hieroglyph for 'courtyard' ... possibly named hasir in the Middle Bronze Age alphabets, while the name goes rather back to hayt, the name reconstructed for a letter derived from a hieroglyph for 'thread'

To be riding down on the back of a river is, though, quite easy in comparison to working oneself up from having been immersed:
