Once again, Baten Algiedi (Belly of the Goat, ω Capricorni) is a star which rose heliacally at Gb1-22 at a time when close to the Full Moon in the night could be observed (at the opposite side of the year) a position for the Sun which I have chosen to name his Belly:

Assuming the front side of the G tablet refers to the heliacal positions of the stars, then we can compare with my Belly of the Sun at Ga3-9, where in rongorongo times July ended:

The calendar dates all the way down to the time of Bharani seem to state this (Ga3) was where a new cycle should begin. Stars, lunar stations, and glyphs agree.

The 'birth' of a new cycle ought to be opposite to its 'death' half a year later, viz. when the Sun would reach the Belly of his opponent the Goat,

and indeed there is a rau hei victim hanging upside down in Gb1-22, when in the time of Bharani the day number was 354 (= 12 * 29½):

rau hei Gb1-22

Rau hei. 1. Branch of mimosa. 2. Killed enemy. 3. Hanged 'fish'. 'Branche du mimosa (signe de mort), ennemie túe (poisson suspendu)' according to Jaussen. Barthel.

Another rau hei came 3 days later, and the reason could here have been heliacal stars in Aquarius:

... β and ξ also constituted the Persian lunar station Bunda and the similar Coptic Upuineuti, the Foundation; but β alone marked the sieu Heu, Hiu, or , Void, anciently Ko, the central one of the seven sieu which, taken together, were known as Heung Wu, the Black Warrior, in the northern quarter of the sky.

It is found in Hindu lists as Kalpeny, of unknown signification. On the Euphrates it was Kakkab Nammaχ, the Star of Mighty Destiny, that may have given origin to the title of the manzil [Al Sa'd al Su'ud], as well as to the astrologers' name for it - Fortuna Fortunarum ...
