In the C text there is indeed a pair (e-rua) of sunlike
stars - with 5 + 5 = 10 flames as in the ancient number of
months:
... From the natives of South Island [of New
Zealand] White [John] heard a quaint myth which concerns the
calendar and its bearing on the sweet potato crop.
Whare-patari, who is credited with introducing the year of
twelve months into New Zealand, had a staff with twelve notches
on it. He went on a visit to some people called Rua-roa
(Long pit) who were famous round about for their extensive
knowledge. They inquired of Whare how many months the
year had according to his reckoning. He showed them the staff
with its twelve notches, one for each month. They replied: 'We
are in error since we have but ten months. Are we wrong in
lifting our crop of kumara (sweet potato) in the eighth
month?' Whare-patari answered: 'You are wrong. Leave them
until the tenth month. Know you not that there are two odd
feathers in a bird's tail? Likewise there are two odd months in
the year.' The grateful tribe of Rua-roa adopted
Whare's advice and found the sweet potato crop greatly
improved as the result ... The Maori further accounted for the
twelve months by calling attention to the fact that there are
twelve feathers in the tail of the huia bird and twelve
in the choker or bunch of white feathers which adorns the neck
of the parson bird ...
The tribe Long Pit (Rua-roa) was obviously named thus in
order to allude to the long winter solstice period:
... The Maori used the same word for both
solstices, marua-roa, 'long pit', and applied the term
also to the month or season during which the Sun passed through
its most northerly or southerly declination ...
And this was 4 (ha) days before Spica:
"In Babylonian religion, Sarpanit (alternatively
Sarpanitu, Zarpanit, Zarpandit, Zerpanitum,
Zerbanitu, or Zirbanit) is a mother goddess and
the consort of the chief god, Marduk. Her name means 'the
shining one', and she is sometimes associated with the planet
Venus.
By a play on words her name was interpreted as zēr-bānītu,
or 'creatress of seed', and is thereby associated with the
goddess Aruru, who,
according to Babylonian myth, created mankind. Her marriage with Marduk
was celebrated annually at New Year in Babylon. She was
worshipped via the rising moon, and was ofted depicted as being
pregnant. She is also known as Erua.
She may be the same as Gamsu,
Ishtar, and / or
Bēlit." (Wikipedia)

... Apami-Atsa ('Child of Waters', θ Virginis) at 13h maybe should be contrasted with Apam Napat ('Grandson of Waters') ... θ is on the front of the garment, below the girdle ... Moderns have no name for it, but in the Surya Siddhanta it was Apami-Atsa, the Child of the Waters ... Apam Napat is an eminent figure of the Indo-Iranian pantheon. In Hinduism, Apām Napāt is the god of fresh water, such as in rivers and lakes. In Zoroastrianism, Apąm Napāt is also a divinity of water ... Apām Napāt in Sanskrit and Apąm Napāt in Avestan mean 'grandson of waters' ... Sanskrit and Avestan napāt ('grandson') are cognate to Latin nepōs and English nephew, but the name Apām Napāt has also been compared to Etruscan Nethuns and Celtic Nechtan and Roman Neptune. In Yasht 19 of the Avesta Apąm Napāt appears as the Creator of mankind. Here, there is an evident link between the glory of sovereignty (Khvarenah) and Apąm Napāt who protects Khvarenah as the royal glory of Iranian kings. Apām Napāt is sometimes, for example in Rigveda book 2 hymn 35 verse 3, described as a fire-god who originates in water ... The reference to fire may have originally referred to flames from natural gas or oil seepages surfacing through water, as in a fire temple at Surakhany near Baku in Azerbaijan ... There is a conjecture that the word 'naphtha' came (via Greek, where it meant any sort of petroleum) from the name 'Apampat' ...

... Once upon a time there was an old woman who owned a great potato field (mara) where she planted her potatoes in spring and harvested them in autumn. She was famous all around for her many varieties of wonderful potatoes, and she had enough of them to sell at the market place. She planted her potatoes 7 in a row, placing her foot in front of her as a measure from one potato to the next. Then she marked the place with a bean - which would also give nourishment to the surrounding potatoes. Next she changed variety and planted 7 more followed by another bean, and this was the pattern she followed until all her 214 varieties had been put down in their proper places. She had drawn a map which she followed and from where each sort of potato could be located at the proper time for its harvest ... |

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ... |

... A une certaine saison, on amassait des vivres, on faisait fête On emmaillotait un corail, pierre de défunt lezard, on l'enterrait, tanu. Cette cérémonie était un point de départ pour beacoup d'affaires, notamment de vacances pour le chant des tablettes ou de la priére, tanu i te tau moko o tana pure, enterrer la pierre sépulcrale de lézard de sa prière ...
... When the man, Ulu, returned to his wife from his visit to the temple at Puueo, he said, 'I have heard the voice of the noble Mo'o, and he has told me that tonight, as soon as darkness draws over the sea and the fires of the volcano goddess, Pele, light the clouds over the crater of Mount Kilauea, the black cloth will cover my head. And when the breath has gone from my body and my spirit has departed to the realms of the dead, you are to bury my head carefully near our spring of running water. Plant my heart and entrails near the door of the house. My feet, legs, and arms, hide in the same manner. Then lie down upon the couch where the two of us have reposed so often, listen carefully throughout the night, and do not go forth before the sun has reddened the morning sky. If, in the silence of the night, you should hear noises as of falling leaves and flowers, and afterward as of heavy fruit dropping to the ground, you will know that my prayer has been granted: the life of our little boy will be saved.' And having said that, Ulu fell on his face and died. His wife sang a dirge of lament, but did precisely as she was told, and in the morning she found her house surrounded by a perfect thicket of vegetation. 'Before the door,' we are told in Thomas Thrum's rendition of the legend, 'on the very spot where she had buried her husband's heart, there grew a stately tree covered over with broad, green leaves dripping with dew and shining in the early sunlight, while on the grass lay the ripe, round fruit, where it had fallen from the branches above. And this tree she called Ulu (breadfruit) in honor of her husband. The little spring was concealed by a succulent growth of strange plants, bearing gigantic leaves and pendant clusters of long yellow fruit, which she named bananas. The intervening space was filled with a luxuriant growth of slender stems and twining vines, of which she called the former sugar-cane and the latter yams; while all around the house were growing little shrubs and esculent roots, to each one of which she gave an appropriate name. Then summoning her little boy, she bade him gather the breadfruit and bananas, and, reserving the largest and best for the gods, roasted the remainder in the hot coals, telling him that in the future this should be his food. With the first mouthful, health returned to the body of the child, and from that time he grew in strength and stature until he attained to the fullness of perfect manhood. He became a mighty warrior in those days, and was known throughout all the island, so that when he died, his name, Mokuola, was given to the islet in the bay of Hilo where his bones were buried; by which name it is called even to the present time ... "Zarpanitu, Sarpanit (Babylonian). Also Zer-banit; Zirat-banit. 'The shining one', its ideographs suggest the words zer seed, banit producing. A Babylonian goddess consort of Marduk or Merodach. In later Babylonian times (after 1200 BC) when Marduk was elevated to the position of chief deity of the pantheon in place of the older Chaldean deities, Zarpanitu was regarded as the great nature goddess, replacing Belit (consort of Bel). A triad was formed by the addition of Nebo, the god of wisdom, equivalent to the Hindu Budha and the Greek Hermes. As Budha was the Son of Soma (the Moon) in India, and of the wife of Brihaspati (Jupiter), so Nebo was the son of Zarpa-nitu (the Moon Deity) and of Merodach.who had become Jupiter, after having been a Sun God (SD 2:456). Herodotus called Zarpanitu 'Zeus-Belos'."
Considering the fact that Nabū (presumably equivalent to Nebo) was Mercury (corresponding to the Greek Hermes respectively to the Polynesian Hiro) we should remember his cycle:
... 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 ...
