Once again. It was probably no coincidence that 41 (Bharani) + 100 = 141 (the Nose of the Lion):

... We can count: 3149 BC + 1842 AD (my assumed epoch for rongorongo) = 8140 years, and with the pace of the precession measured as 26000 / 365.25 = 71.184 years, the present right ascension position would have been *27.4 (Sheratan) + *8140 / 71.184 = ca *141.75.

I first noticed the importance of Bharani when studying the Arab structure, where the period of the fraction .4 evidently must have originated from *41.4 and then stretched ahead for 128 (= 4 * 32) days:
