1. Although my astronomy book has only one star
for Corona Borealis
in its list, Gemma (α),
there are many with Greek letters in the constellation:
7 of these stars can be
imagined as forming a kind of diadem. But Flamsteed (I have copied
the picture from Ian Ridpath's site) has a crown with
10 'tines':
There are 4 stars (α,
γ, δ, ε) in front, with β evidently at the beginning of the front
side.
In the G text Gemma is at a mama glyph with 5 'wave chevrons':

Number 237 is one
more than half 472 and we know that in glyph 237 someone is 'finished':

In
front of the mama - as if growing out from it - there is
a 'fictitious' haga with a mea ke at the
top. The arrangement seems to be a reversal of the
sign of 'going inside' in Ga1-23 (149 days earlier):

instead of counting 148 + 216 = 364 we maybe should rather count
