4. It is getting complicated and let us therefore look in another direction. The position of Alphard in the drawing of Hevelius is not exactly below the nose (κ) of Leo, but this is due to his perspective:
In Urania's Mirror much has been crammed into a single card and Alphard is directly below the loop-hole in the body of the Hydra:
There are many stars which delineate the head of Hydra and we ought to retrace our steps to find where they are in the G text.

"σ, 4.6, was Ulug Beg's Al Minhar al Shujā', the Snake's Nose.
τ¹, 4.9, flushed white, and τ², 4.6, lilac, with ι and the 5th magnitude A, form the curve in the neck, Ptolemy's Καμπή; but Kazwini knew them as Ukdah, the Knot."
The Knot (universally a sign for the end of a sequence) is a meaning which I think agrees well with the glyph type haś. My outline glyph type dictionary has this summary:
| The haś glyphs are characterized by a bent 'branch', marked with 'feathers' on the outside: 
The bent 'branch' represents the path of a luminary, beginning at bottom and moving up and clockwise, ending at the tip.
The 'feathers' are used to indicate calendrical periods. In the example above (Ab4-53) the 10 'feathers' possibly indicate how the 'summer year' is divided into 10 periods (with 18 days in each period).
In another example, below, from the Mamari moon calendar, the path of waxing moon presumably is divided into 15 periods:
|
16 feather signs around haś in Ga3-22 could indicate e.g. that a complete 472 (= 16 * 29½) day long cycle is ending with this glyph. Or maybe with glyph number 32 * 2 = 64.
