Once again. Measuring 15 days for the duration when a star was
hidden by the bright rays from the Sun
could mean we should understand the 44 day long sea voyage of
the Double Canoe to be equal to 29 (star visible) + 15 (star
invisible).
I.e, we should count 29 star nights followed by 15 nights when
the star was invisible. Indeed, there are 29 glyphs in line Ga6:

... 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 ...

The figure in Ga7-15 seems to illustrate the cardinal point
of the Pleiades - like 6 black berries held high - in
contrast to the single great fist (→ nothing as yet counted) held high 5 days later:
... The practice of turning down the fingers, contrary to
our practice, deserves notice, as perhaps explaining why
sometimes savages are reported to be unable to count above
four. The European holds up one finger, which he counts, the
native counts those that are down and says 'four'. Two
fingers held up, the native counting those that are down,
calls 'three'; and so on until the white man, holding up
five fingers, gives the native none turned down to count.
The native is nunplussed, and the enquirer reports that
savages can not count above four ...
