My interpretation of the text is therefore probably correct.

The inside and upwardly stretching straight line in Ga2-14 should refer to the path ahead, with 'land drawn up' at heliacal Gemini (cfr Ga2-11 at the day before 7h). From there to the left shoulder of Aquarius there were 261 (Sadalsud) - 34 (Ga2-14) = 227 days (alluding to 22 /7). And 4 days after heliacal Sadalsud the path began to descend, where the left half of the tail of the Capricorn crossed over the left arm of Aquarius.

The distance from Mayan 'February 9' to 'April 25' can be counted as 115 (April 25) - 40 (February 9) = 75 days, although the facts above appear to point in some other direction:

February 9 (heliacal Sadalsud) = 325.9 in rongorongo times. Heliacal Wasat (the Middle, δ Gemini) was at Ga2-15 in rongorongo times. Hevelius appears to have placed Wasat at the navel, te pito, the midpoint of Pollux, but the position could also be at the right wrist of Castor:

325.9 (Sadalsud) - 109.8 (Wasat) = 216.1 (or approximately 3 * 73 days).

Pito

1. Umbilical cord; navel; centre of something: te pito o te henua, centre of the world. Ana poreko te poki, ina ekó rivariva mo uru ki roto ki te hare o here'u i te poki; e-nanagi te pito o te poki, ai ka-rivariva mo uru ki roto ki te hare, when a child is born one must not enter the house immediately, for fear of injuring the child (that is, by breaking the taboo on a house where birth takes place); only after the umbilical cord has been severed can one enter the house. 2. Also something used for doing one's buttons up (buttonhole?). Vanaga.

Navel. Churchill.

H Piko 1. Navel, navel string, umbilical cord. Fig. blood relative, genitals. Cfr piko pau 'iole, wai'olu. Mō ka piko, moku ka piko, wehe i ka piko, the navel cord is cut [friendship between related persons is broken; a relative is cast out of a family]. Pehea kō piko? How is your navel [a facetious greeting avoided by some because of the double meaning]? 2. Summit or top of a hill or mountain; crest; crown of the head; crown of the hat made on a frame (pāpale pahu); tip of the ear; end of a rope; border of a land; center, as of a fishpond wall or kōnane board; place where a stem is attached to the leaf, as of taro. 3. Short for alopiko. I ka piko nō 'oe, lihaliha (song), at the belly portion itself, so very choice and fat. 4. A common taro with many varieties, all with the leaf blade indented at the base up to the piko, junction of blade and stem. 5. Design in plaiting the hat called pāpale 'ie. 6. Bottom round of a carrying net, kōkō. 7. Small wauke rootlets from an old plant. 8. Thatch above a door. 'Oki i ka piko, to cut this thatch; fig. to dedicate a house. Wehewehe.

Wasat at the right wrist of Pollux can be compared to the position of ν Aquarii at the left wrist of Aquarius. 256 (ν Aquarii) - 35 (Wasat) = 220:

Egyptian cobra in repose Phoenician nūn Greek nu Ν (ν)

... Nun is thought to have come from a pictogram of a snake (the Hebrew word for snake, nachash begins with a Nun and snake in Aramaic is nun) or eel.

Some have hypothesized a hieroglyph of a fish in water for its origin (in Arabic, nūn means large fish or whale). The Phoenician letter was named nūn 'fish', but the glyph has been suggested to descend from a hypothetical Proto-Canaanite nahš 'snake', based on the name in Ethiopic, ultimately from a hieroglyph representing a snake.

... Nahš in modern Arabic literally means 'bad luck'. The cognate letter in Ge'ez and descended Semitic languages of Ethiopia is nehas, which also means 'brass'.

The proper animal for representing ν Aquarii should be a whale-shark, I think, i.e. a creature born half from land and half from the sea. Once whales walked on land, and they still need air.

... θ is the last star in the Ara constellation, and the ancient meaning of this letter was described as a wheel by the Phoenicians but for the Egyptian it meant 'good'. When the wheel of time has come full cycle around and the upside down fire-altar is in the past the times ahead should be good (or lucky Sa'ad) ...
