The total number of glyphs on the A tablet is 670 (side a) + 664 (side b) = 1334 = 46 * 29,
and we know that the dark night of the Moon (number 29) belonged to Mercury (Hiro).
Whereas 37 and 44 belonged to Jupiter - numbers we can recognize in Manuscript E as given for the duration of the sea voayages of the Explorers respectively of the Royal Double Canoe.
Ab1-1 could illustrate the first light and Aa8-26 the last light - because the top part of the latter glyph seems to have been lopped off, as if this viri had been 'castrated' - cfr the Sun canoe before midnight (midwinter):
... In the Olympian creation myth, as Hesiod tells it in the Theogony, Uranus came every night to cover the earth and mate with Gaia, but he hated the children she bore him. Hesiod named their first six sons and six daughters the Titans, the three one-hundred-armed giants the Hekatonkheires, and the one-eyed giants the Cyclopes. Uranus imprisoned Gaia's youngest children in Tartarus, deep within Earth, where they caused pain to Gaia. She shaped a great flint-bladed sickle and asked her sons to castrate Uranus. Only Cronus, youngest and most ambitious of the Titans, was willing: he ambushed his father and castrated him, casting the severed testicles into the sea. For this fearful deed, Uranus called his sons Titanes Theoi, or 'Straining Gods' ... If this is a reasonable interpretation, we could then try to put in parallel the A text with that of the C text, both using the beginning of side b as a Sign for a new beginning. However, although the structure evidently could be the same the time-frame could in principle be quite different. The C text, we know, was probably beginning when the Full Moon was at the current 0h (at the topknot of Andromeda, at Sirrah - the Navel of the Pegasus Horse):
Then, beyond day *366, the C text has been filled out with glyphs in order to make the Fishing Place (Ana-nia), viz. Polaris (*26), the last glyph on side a.
... Suitably the Great Fish who swallowed Jonah was stopped in his track at this place, for in the following day came Hamal (the Leader of the Flock of 10) ...
From the second viri on side a of the A tablet to the first one on side b there was a measure of 60, whereas on side a of the C tablet the measure seems to have been set to 392 - 366 = 26. Although in the background - counted from Ca13-20 to Ca14-29 - we can read 46 (= 14 * 29 - 12 * 30) → 1334 / 29. 392 (= 56 weeks → *56 for the Queen of Sailing, Alcyone in the Pleiades). ... another Alcyone, daughter of Pleione, 'Queen of Sailing', by the oak-hero Atlas, was the mystical leader of the seven Pleiads. The heliacal rising of the Pleiads in May marked the beginning of the navigational year; their setting marked its end when (as Pliny notices in a passage about the halcyon) a remarkably cold North wind blows ...
In order to secure my interpretations we have Sirius in the basic structure for the G text:
... In later research it was postulated that the [Phoenician] alphabet is actually two complete lists, the first dealing with land agriculture and activity, and the second dealing with water, sea and fishing. The first half beginning with Alef - an ox, and ending with Lamed - a whip. The second list begins with Mem - water, and continues with Nun - fish, Samek - fish bones, Ayin - a water spring, Peh - the mouth of a well, Tsadi - to fish, Kof, Resh and Shin are the hook hole, hook head and hook teeth, known to exist from prehistoric times, and the Tav is the mark used to count the fish caught ...
