One canoe hull is in line Ga1 and the other in line Gb2. The month names Hora Iti and Hora Nui (August and September) suggest 'spreading out' (hora-hora) and in rongorongo times the heliacal stars of February 1 had their nakshatra stars in August 2. I.e. the season on Easter Island corresponding to the beginning of February was the beginning of August:
