1. According to my astronomy book these stars are rising heliacally in the 10th hour:

At Naos (ζ Puppis) - presumably 64 days earlier than spring equinox on Easter Island (cfr at Camp 9) - the henua calendar is beginning and we therefore ought to have the 9th hour in fresh memory, especially the Cancer stars. They correspond to the glyphs with numbers 10, 11, 12, and 15 counted from Naos:

The stars of Leo do not appear until close to the end of the 10th hour and there is no sign of the feelers of the Lobster.
My list for the 10th hour above has only 6 stars and it is based on my astronomy book. But there are 15 glyphs in the 10th hour and several of the interesting glyphs have so far not been connected with stars (also e.g. Ga3-10--11 in the 9th hour).
Let us therefore once again take a look at the faint stars in Cancer to see if we can assemble more facts.
