3. At the end of October the path of Sun goes close to α Librae, and the following δ (Zuben Elakribi) marks where the 15th hour is ending:

Between the glyphs at the stars α and δ, at the beginning of November, there is a hau tea and a rau hei ('mimosa branch'). The latter is easy to connect with the claws of Scorpius - a temporary death is implied.

The hau tea glyph is not drawn in the usual manner, it has - I suggest - the same type of sign added as on the belly of the lion part of Ammit:

If I am right, then this sign could mean 'shadowy', and we should recall the letter Λ which I have suggested (see at Heka) is the basic element in the Egyptian cloth hieroglyph. It also occurs in the tresses of Pachamama (400 such signs):

Arranged horizontally (as in Ga6-21) instead of vertically  I think open at left means 'dark in the past' and open at right means its reverse, viz. 'light in front'. In other words, this hau tea seems to have a kind of 'Janus' sign added.

There are 221 days (the number of Toliman) from hau tea in Gb7-2 - where 413 = 14 * 29½ - to hau tea in Ga6-21:
