10-13. Now, supposing there were '3 days with only cold food served' (with no kichen fires burning) before the true beginning could start, then we could count to 'give me five' at glyph position 8:
... Ganz ähnlich is der Name 'Gott von Duazag' des Gottes Nabū ... zu erklären. Er bezeichnet ihn als den Gott des Wachtstums, welches als aus dem Osten stammend betrachtet wird, weil die Sonne, die das Wachstum bringt, im Osten aufgeht. Dass aber Nabū als Ost-Gott aufgefasst wurde, hängt damit zusammen, dass sein Stern, der Mercur, nur im Osten oder Westen sichtbar ist ...
... Strassmeier and Epping, in their Astronomishes aus Babylon, say that there its stars formed the third of the twenty-eight ecliptic constellations, - Arku-sha-rishu-ku, literally the Back of the Head of Ku, - which had been established along that great circle milleniums before our era; and Lenormant quotes, as an individual title from cuneiform inscriptions, Dil-kar, the Proclaimer of Dawn, that Jensen reads As-kar, and others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light. George Smith inferred from the tablets that it might be the Star of the Flocks; while other Euphratean names have been Lu-lim, or Lu-nit, the Ram's Eye; and Si-mal or Si-mul, the Horn star, which came down even to late astrology as the Ram's Horn. It also was Anuv, and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u, - by abbreviation Ku, - the Prince, or the Leading One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock, some of íts titles at a different date being applied to Capella of Auriga. Brown associates it with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...
After 10 days the Princess was no longer bald-headed, after the Pleiades rains she was 'recovering'; and the 5th glyph (my number 25) might illustrate a kind of tree:
Therefore I guess my type 22 could be a picture of some kind of instrument for removing pests:
... Wind winnowing is an agricultural method developed by ancient cultures for separating grain from chaff. It is also used to remove weevils or other pests from stored grain. Threshing, the separation of grain or seeds from the husks and straw, is the step in the chaff-removal process that comes before winnowing ... At the time of the Golden Bull the star named Nash (γ Sagittarii,*273) would have risen together with the Sun in OCTOBER 16 (289 = 273 + 80 - 64). The position of Benet-nash (*208) would have been 65 days earlier, in day 208 + 80 - 64 = = 288 (October 15) - 64 = 224 (AUGUST 12), which was 3 days after Heze, which in turn was 3 days after Spica.
55 days after Nash was Nashira (γ Capricorni, *328). We should here take the opportunity to count ahead to the end of the top side of the Phaistos disc:
