2. Thus the henua calendar seems to begin with 3 days 'under the rule of Moon' when land is rising up again, caused (ua) by 'sand' being returned from the 'sea'. Not until then, with manu kake (the 'climbing bird'), will the new 'land of Sun' begin:

One is reminded of the 3 nebulous objects imagined in Praesaepe (ε Cancri) and of the 3 stones on the Mayan turtle, which presumably are alluding to how 3 stones are needed to create a cooking place. When having landed after a long sea voyage it is natural to make a camp fire on the beach and to cook food.
And when Easter Island is reached there are 3 islets standing as a Sign of welcome out in the water in the southwestern corner of the island. This is where the canoe hulls should be untied from each other.

Counting from Ga3-1 to the end of the henua calendar we will not reach 180 days but only 177 (= 6 * 29½).
We now ought to update our list of stars with the period numbers. Colours will make it easier to connect stars with glyphs:

Leo and Cancer are looking at each other with affection and we therefore had better consider Leo before moving down to the sunken ship and to Hydra.
Ras Elaset Australis (ε) and Ras Elaset Borealis (μ) are the southern respectively the northern (stars) in the head (ras) of the Lion (el ased).
