9 stars in Auriga (beyond the final κ), viz. ψ1 - ψ9 (equal to the number in a cat o' nine tails whip) were distributed to the figure in Ga2-9 who was running with his fist (= no fingers counted as yet) held up high in front:

... The first half beginning with Alef - an ox, and ending with Lamed - a whip. The second list begins with Mem - water, and continues with Nun - fish, Samek - fish bones, Ayin - a water spring, Peh - the mouth of a well, Tsadi - to fish, Kof, Resh and Shin are the hook hole, hook head and hook teeth, known to exist from prehistoric times, and the Tav is the mark used to count the fish caught ...

Evidently these 9 ψ ('whip') stars could have been intended to show where the first half of the sequence of 'months' had ended. The 2nd half could then need a good whipping to get going:

... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Ceasar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia, he ran around naked (except for a girdle - like a maro), and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote ('kick' - Rei), their fertility. Surely there must be some connection with the she-goat Amalthea (Capella) who suckled Zeus ...

... Februa, also Februatio, was the Roman festival of ritual purification, later incorporated into Lupercalia. The festival, which is basically one of Spring washing or cleaning (associated also with the raininess of this time of year), is old and possibly of Sabine origin. According to Ovid, Februare as a Latin word which refers to means of purification (particularly with washing or water) derives from an earlier Etruscan word referring to purging. The Roman month Februarius ('of Februa', whence the English February) is named for the Februa/Februatio festival, which occurred on the 13th to 15th days of this Roman month. A later Roman god Februus personified both the month and also purification, and is named for them. Thus, the month is named for the festival and not for the god ...

On Easter Island their first month (possibly named Toki) could have begun after the calendar of Gregorius XIII had finished - i.e. as read nakshatra wise in rongorongo times. June 27 = 5 days after Ga1-29 was at the opposite side of the sky compared to Vega. In the following nights the stars Ascella and Nunki were close to the Full Moon. These stars had once indicated where 'Land' in the sky would end and probably the idea had not been forgotten:

... 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 ...

If this 'Water' was beginning beyond Ascella and Nunki, then it seems reasonable to assume 'Land' would begin at the opposite side of the sky roof, beyond the other arm of the Milky Way:
