The glyphs could perhaps indicate side a
was referring to a low time (winter south of the equator) and side b to a time with high
sky, the 'bird' side?
Because Aldebaran and Antares together measured out
the northern summer - with a rising vaha mea at heliacal Aldebaran
and the same fish turning around at heliacal Antares:

180 - 110 = 70 and this
fact could mean the stars had moved ahead with not only 64
days but with 70 days since the ancient time when the path of
the Sun was defined against the background of
the fixed stars. Reading at the
beginning of side a we can find a glyph which
could have informed about the position 70 days
after 0h:

There seems to have been no
heliacal star of importance there, but close to
the Full Moon was Atria:
The constellation Triangulum
Australe was far down in the south in contrast to the pair
of northern triangles in the northern
hemisphere:
From Metallah (α
Trianguli) to Atria (α Triangulum Australe)
there were 253 - 26 = 227 days, as if alluding to 22 /
7 = π.
Therefore
there
could have been a cycle measuring 2 * 227 = 454
days, a 'bicycle'.
On side a the same bird can be found in MAY 27, when the
Sun rose together with the Southeast Star in the
constellation of the Carpenter (Nangaru):

This suggests a connection with
Cancer, anciently regarded as a

Fakataka [Completing-the-cycle] swims and
swims, reaching another land. She goes there and
stays on the upraised reef in the freshwater
pools on the reef, and there delivers her child,
a boy child. She gives him the name
Taetagaloa [Not-Tagaroa]. When the baby is
born a golden plover flies over and alights upon
the reef. (Kua

Here the Sun was in Cetus and
at the time of Bharani this was in "March 14
(3-14).
... At some point cetus became
synonymous with 'whale' (the study of whales
is now called cetology). In his 1534
translation, William Tyndale translated the
phrase in Jonah 2:1 as 'greate fyshe' and he
translated the word ketos (Greek) or
cetus (Latin) in Matthew 12:40 as
'whale'. Which states 'For as Jonas was
three days and three nights in the whale's
belly; so shall the Son of man be three days
and three nights in the heart of the earth
...
The reversed manu rere in Gb8-5
came 4 days
later than "March 14, and at the time when
Ain rose with the Sun at 0h this was in day 54
(FEBRUARY 23), a date which in Roman times
was known as Terminalia (the final
of the old year):
