7. There is a separate page ('chain of events') where I tried to imagine what happened before the kuhane station Akahanga where the king is buried: Describing events which are connected as the links in a chain is not easy when the chain has no end - you can begin anywhere. (How easily our language accepts the end of a chain to mean the beginning of the chain.) The following is my preliminary and imaginative reconstruction of the chain (although based on too limited knowledge): Hatinga Te Kohe probably means the rule of the sun is broken, i.e. it is the moon queen who has broken his rule. But the sun is already dead and buried in the earth, at Akahanga:
Moon is taking command by acting at Hatinga Te Kohe, nobody will rule unless she does. At the end of glyph line Gb3 growth has reached to its limit (pau), but sun died already before that. Evidently it takes some time from the death of sun until the effects of his healthy rays have abated:
Moving backwards we will find the first signs of what will happen already at midsummer, with the downturn at Te Pei. From there his strength is declining.
Indeed, some say sun vanished at the apex of midsummer - it is no longer the real sun who is shining in the sky. Te Pou is the last of the kuhane stations with a definite article, and presumably it means the soul of the sun has risen into the night sky to become the magnificent Te Pou. Sirius is probably not visible until Te Pou. His earthly stand-in, the king of the island, rules from midsummer, as if he was the sun. Evidently he is not without success, because growth continues. Then he makes a fatal move, he drinks water at Hua Reva - and everybody understands he is just a mortal (otherwise he should have avoided the sweet water - which quenches fire). From that time he is doomed:
He is no longer an image of the sun, he is only a sack filled with fluid, like all of us. The heliacal rising of Sirius (Te Pou) at the time of G ought to have been ca 101 days after 'March 21, i.e. in 'June 30 (181). Its midnight culmination would have been around 'February 11 (42) - see Cor Serpentis. Furthermore, my 'key' has connected Gb2-10 with 'July 6:
My 'key' does not exclude the idea of the kuhane station Te Pou at Gb2-10, on the contrary. With the heliacal rising of Sirius in 'June 30 there is only around a week to Gb2-10. The moon stations are not points in time but intervals ca half a month long. Although the manzil Murzim, with Canis Major, is beginning - it is said - on August 4. That does not fit with my calculations:
Perhaps it means the manzils should be counted from the time of reappearance in the late night after heliacal rising. "Beta Canis Majoris (β CMa, β Canis Majoris) is a star in the southern constellation of Canis Major, the 'greater dog', and is located at a distance of about 500 light-years (150 parsecs) from the Earth. In the modern constellation it lies at the position of the dog's head. It has the traditional name Murzim, Al-Murzim or Mirzam, which is derived from the Arabic ... for 'The Herald', and probably refers to its position, heralding Sirius in the night sky (i.e., rising before it)." (Wikipedia) In my lists I have used the name Mirzam. It seems likely that the Murzim manzil begins with Mirzam and ends with mago and Ga2-14:
