12-3. Thus, at Eb3-16 and according to my suggestions Sirius should have been visible at the Full Moon in December 30 (364). From where we can see that 475 at the end of line Eb4 equals 395 + 16 + 64, where 16 could represent those 16 nights when the rays from the rising Sun in principle would make star observations impossible and where 64 could represent the extrapolated precessional distance down to the Golden Age of the Bull (and with 16 + 64 = 80 corresponding to the day for the Gregorian spring equionox at 0h):

a9 36 326 sum total 260 * 2 + 108

260 + 368 = 314 * 2

sum 260 + 66

This perception is in a way confirmed by the following number sequence 35, 36, 42 which we have seen also for the 3 lines Ea3--5.

The significations which appear in Southeast Polynesia are most likely derived from a Tongafiti alo and do not appear in Nuclear Polynesia. The alo belly and alo chief which do occur in Nuclear Polynesia are also probably Tongafiti, for in Samoa and Tonga they are honorific and applied only to folk of rank, a good indication of borrowing by the Proto-Samoans from Tongafiti masters. Churchill. In the Hawaiian group, the western portion or side of an island was called 'the front', ke alo, of the land, and the eastern side was called 'the back', ke kua. The reason of such designations must be sought in the fact of the arrival of the inhabitants from the west. Fornander.

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...
