The measure 61 days was possibly derived
from 366 days for the year divided by 6. And the first day
in 'March, day 61, could have
been considered as the last day of the old year - before
the arrival of the Kalends of March:
... The leap day was introduced as
part of the Julian reform. The day following the
Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis
sextum - literally 'double sixth', since
February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of
March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was
the 'first day') ...
61 (white as the face of the Full Moon) + 60
(rainbow colours because the Sun was returning after the
rains of winter) = 121. And 121 was the day number for MAY
1 when Nunki was at the Full Moon as a sign of Sun
returning to Land at the right foot of Pollux (the star pillar
ξ in Gemini):
In 1582 A.D. the Sun had risen together with
Sirius and ξ Gemini (and Nunki
had been at the Full Moon), and this event (at the
right foot of Pollux) had been pushed ahead with 60 days since the days of Ain, from MAY 1 (121) to °June 30 (181). Landfall came 60
days later in the year.
...
This [σ]
has been identified with Nunki of the Euphratean
Tablet of the Thirty Stars, the Star of the
Proclamation of the Sea, this Sea being the
quarter occupied by Aquarius, Capricornus, Delphinus,
Pisces, and Pisces Australis. It is the same space in
the sky that Aratos designated as Water ...

When Nunki was close to the Full Moon it
meant the 'High Tide of Water' was over and that 'Dry Land' once
again had been 'fished up' from the bottom of the Sea.
...
as soon
as the sun rose above the horizon the writhing fish
of Maui became solid underfoot, and could not be
smoothed out again. This act of Maui's, that gave
our people the land on which we live, was an event
next in greatness to the separation of the Sky and
Earth ...
The separation of Sky and Earth must
have taken place earlier and was it 185 (July 4) -
115 (April 25) = 70 days earlier?
... Later on in this series
of rituals, the Chorti go through a
ceremony they call raising the sky. This ritual
takes place at midnight on the twenty-fifth of
April and continues each night until the rains
arrive. In this ceremony two diviners and their
wives sit on benches so that they occupy the
corner positions of the cosmic square. They take
their seats in the same order as the stones were
placed, with the men on the eastern side and the
women on the west. The ritual actions of sitting
down and lifting upward are done with great
precision and care, because they are directly
related to the actions done by the gods at
Creation. The people represent the gods of the
four corners and the clouds that cover the
earth. As they rise from their seats, they
metaphorically lift the sky. If their lifting
motion is uneven, the rains will be irregular
and harmful ...

The Chorti date could,
however, alternatively have referred to the
Gregorian calendar and the separation of Sky
and Earch could then have begun in °April 25 (115). Either way, the time would
have been 399 (the synodic cycle of Jupiter)
+ 1 days after 0h. This separation could
have been announced by kea in Gb8-1:
...
In the beginning were Rangi and
Papa, Sky and Earth. Darkness existed.
Rangi adhered over Papa his
wife. Man was not. A person arose, a spirit
who had no origin; his name was
Rangitokona, the Heaven-propper. He went
to Rangi and Papa, bid them go
apart, but they would not.
Therefore Rangitokona separated
Rangi and Papa, he thrust the sky
above. He thrust him with his pillars ten in
number end to end; they reached up to the
Fixed-place-of-the-Heavens.
After this separation Rangi lamented
for his wife: and his tears are the dew and
the rain which ever fall on her
...
The reversed

...
Delta (uppercase Δ,
lowercase δ) ... is the
fourth letter of the
Greek alphabet. In the
system of Greek numerals
it has a value of 4. It
was derived from the
Phoenician letter
Dalet.
Letters
that come from delta
include Latin D and
Cyrillic Д. A river
delta (originally, the
Nile River delta) is so
named because its shape
approximates the
upper-case letter delta
(the shape is a
triangle) ...
Dalet
(dāleth,
also spelled Daleth
or Daled) is the
fourth letter of many
Semitic alphabets ...
The letter is based on a
glyph of the Middle
Bronze Age alphabets,
probably called dalt
'door' (door in Modern
Hebrew is delet),
ultimately based on a
hieroglyph depicting a
door.

At the time when Ain was at
0h the Head of the Fly (12 days after the
Head of the Horse) would have risen
heliacally in FEBRUARY 24, corresponding to
the beginning of those 6 days which came
between TERMINALIA and the beginning
of the KALENDS OF MARCH (in MARCH 2).
Also the Algol face
was turned away, as if to look at the pair of
triangular twin doors (Δ)
for entrance ('birth'). At the time
of Gregory XIII the Sun rose with Algol in
°May 1 (121). At the time of rongorongo the
Sun rose with Bharani in May 1 (121).
The kea type of glyph
is characterized by a pair of heads, but not looking in opposite
directions in Janus fashion.

kea |
Pikea means 'crab'
and kea was translated as
macrouse by Bishop
Jaussen. The pair of heads, perhaps separated because one represented the
Sky (Ç) and
the other Mother Earth (È), could have been illustrated
as a pair of
heads of the Earth Turtle - to be separated by
Saturn with his vero (spear):
