5-2. The prematurely cut off 3rd glyph line on side b of the Aruku Kurenga tablet (B) seems to have ended when the Full Moon should be at the right ascension line connected with Aldebaran (*68):

This great (red) star had risen together with the sun in the Golden Age of the Bull at a time when the northern spring equinox had not been in day 80 but in day 84. MARCH 25 (84) + 64 = 148 (May 28).

The last glyph on the prematurely cut off 3rd line on side a of the E tablet seems similarly to have ended when in February 21 (417) the Sun should be at the right ascension line of Ancha (*337).

Playing with these numbers we could find out first that 365 + 148 (May 28) = 513 (May 28) → 3 * 171 (6h).

Which means APRIL 17 (107) → 107 + 64 = 171 (6h), i.e. June 20. Furthermore,  471 (number of glyphs on the G tablet) → 1½ * 314 (π) = 107 + 364 → 471 = 300 + 171 = 107 + 364.

Thus February 21 (417) on side a of the E tablet could be a way to establish the rule of the Full Moon, because the internal palindrome 471 - 417 = 54 suggests February 23 (Terminalia).

84 - 54 = 30. And then: May 28 (148) - 30 = 118 = 4 * 29½ Toliman (*221 = *38 + *183):

There is no prematurly ending glyph line on the G tablet, but the eye-catching reversed manu rere evidently served a similar kind of function.

Let's now return to the beginning of line Ea5, which seems to be preceded by the Sun rising at the Breast of Cassiopeia:

tagata - haati kava Rei koia kua haati - i te kava ravaraga ika erua age ra manu te hipuga ---

Age. Particle sometimes used with the imperative of oho, turu, iri to express the idea of going somewhere unerringly, confidently: ka-turu-age koe ki tai, go down to the sea now; ka-iri-age koe ki taaku me'e to'o-mai, be sure to go up and bring my things. Nowadays it is only used with those three verbs, but its use seems to have been more general once, as ancient chant has these verses: Ka-iri-age Rano Kau te ga atua hami regarega, Ka-oka-age Ha'w koka te korotea a Kava te ruruti, Ka-hi-age Hatehate te kahi-riva a tumu. Vanaga.

Hipu. Calabash, shell, cup, jug, goblet, pot, plate, vase, bowl, any such receptacle; hipu hiva, melon, bottle; hipu takatore, vessel; hipu unuvai, drinking glass. P Mgv.: ipu, calabash, gourd for carrying liquids. Mq.: ipu, all sorts of small vases, shell, bowl, receptacle, coconut shell. Ta.: ipu, calabash, cup, receptacle. Churchill.

Toliman (at the right front hoof of the Centaur, down in the Milky Way river) was a very special star because - with the exception of our own star, the sun - it was the star most close to the Earth → Saturn.

... Saturn does give the measures: this is the essential point. How are we to reconcile it with Saturn the First King, the ruler of the Golden Age who is now asleep at the outer confines of the world? The conflict is only apparent, as will be seen. For now it is essential to recognize that, whether one has to do with the Mesopotamian Saturn, Enki / Ea, or with Ptah of Egypt, he is the 'Lord of Measures' - spell it 'me' in Sumerian, 'parshu' in Akkadian, 'maat' in Egyptian. And the same goes for His Majesty, the Yellow Emperor of China - yellow, because the element earth belongs to Saturn - 'Huang-ti established everywhere the order for the sun, the moon and the stars'. The melody remains the same. It might help to understand the general idea, but particularly the lucubrations of Proclus, to have a look at the figure drawn by Kepler, which represents the moving triangle fabricated by 'Great Conjunctions', that is those of Saturn and Jupiter. One of these points needs roughly 2.400 years to move through the whole zodiac ...

For some reason - possibly similar to how a Rat was personifying Water - the Land seems to have been personified by a Wolf:

... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Caesar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia [Lupus = Wolf], he ran around naked and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote their fertility ...
