18.0. Counting from the Sun at Φ Sagittarii (284.0) to the sooty mirror shadow image of the Sun on the face of the Full Moon at Φ Gemini (118.4) there were 284 (Eb8-22) - 268 (Eb8-6) = 16 right ascension days.

Eb8-6 (268) Eb8-22 (284 → Dec 30)
*284 + *16 = *300 AL-TAIR (*300)

Should we assume the calendar days were to be measured from the return to visibility late at night of Φ Sagittarii, then both the Full Moon and the Sun would be there, the Full Moon in January 16 and the Sun from December 30. In other words the Sun was immobilized during his final days.

The Word Naos means Ship and when the Full Moon reached this place both the immobilized old year and his wife were to be carried onboard:

... According to Gylfaginning, following the murder of Baldr by Loki, the other gods brought his body down to the sea and laid him to rest on the ship. They would have launched it out into the water and kindled a funeral pyre for Baldr but were unable to move the great vessel without the help of the giantess Hyrrokkin [→ Hurricane], who was sent for out of Jötunheim. She then flung the ship so violently down the rollers at the first push that flames appeared and the earth trembled, much to the annoyance of Thor. Along with Baldr, his wife Nanna was also borne to the funeral pyre after she had died of grief. As Thor was consecrating the fire with his hammer Mjolnir, a dwarf named Litr began cavorting at his feet. Thor then kicked him into the flames and the dwarf was burned up as well ...

Could the coming sea journey have covered 9 days, which is the number of glyphs remaining in the E text? Metoro said we should count (hia) at January 20, possibly because here the boundary at 13 * 29½ = 383½ had been crossed over (Χ).

The month sense is found in Tahiti, Marquesas, Rarotonga and Maori associated with the moon signification, and in Hawaii is specifically dissociated therefrom to characterize a solar month.

... It was 4 August 1968, and it was the feast day of Saint Dominic, patron of Santo Domingo Pueblo, southwest of Santa Fe. At one end of the hot, dusty plaza, a Dominican priest watched nervously as several hundred dancers arranged in two long rows pounded the earth with their moccasined feet as a mighty, collective prayer for rain, accompanied by the powerful baritone singing of a chorus and the beat of drums. As my family and I viewed this, the largest and in some ways the most impressive Native American public ceremony, a tiny cloud over the Jémez Mountains to the northwest got larger and larger, eventually filling up the sky; at last the storm broke, and the sky was crisscrossed by lightning and the pueblo resounded with peals of rolling thunder ...

In China, with Capricornus, Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius, it [Aquarius] constituted the early Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen; and later was known as Hiuen Ying, the Dark Warrior and Hero, or Darkly Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty, which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping, the Precious Vase. It contained three of the sieu, and headed the list of zodiac signs as the Rat, which in the far East was the ideograph for 'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of Central Asia, Cochin China, and Japan ...
