The reason for cutting out the midsection of page E:98 could have been to make a Sign. For instance could such a Sign represent a jump (a leap) in time to the Pleiades, i.e. from telling about how in Hare Pu Rangi the boy Miru was born (E:98 before the cut) to the story about the 6 children with their faces down (E:98 after the cut).
Considering the fact that Hare Pu Rangi was connected with the birth of Miru, we can guess that Bharani (Yoni, the female organ of reproduction) was where this baby boy was born. Counted from February 18 (the Rooftop at Sadalmelik) - i.e. day 413 (= 14 * 29˝) counted from the previous January 1 = day 414 counted from the previous December 31 - the date of the Cockerel should be 136 + 366 ('leap year') = 502 = 414 + 88.
From Bharani to Alcyone the distance was *56.1 (Alcyone) - *41.4 (Bharani) = *14.7 right ascension days → 80 + 147 = 227 → π. ... The earliest depiction that has been linked to the constellation of Orion is a prehistoric (Aurignacian) mammoth ivory carving found in a cave in the Ach valley in Germany in 1979. Archaeologists have estimated it to have been fashioned approximately 32,000 to 38,000 years ago ... The artist cut, smoothed and carved one side (A) and finely notched the other side (B) and the edges. Side A contains the half-relief of an anthropoidal figure, either human or a human-feline hybrid, known as the 'adorant' because its arms are raised as if in an act of worship ...
The total number of notches (88) not only coincides with the number of days in 3 lunations (88.5) but also approximately with the number of days when the star Betelgeuse (α Ori) disappeared from view each year between its heliacal set (about 14 days before the spring equinox around 33,000 BP) and its heliacal rise (approximately 19 days before the summer solstice) ... ... Odysseus and his fleet were now in a mythic realm of difficult trials and passages, of which the first was to be the Land of the Cyclopes, 'neither nigh at hand, nor yet afar off', where the one-eyed giant Polyphemus, son of the god Poseidon (who, as we know, was the lord of tides and of the Two Queens, and the lord, furthermore, of Medusa), dwelt with his flocks in a cave. 'Yes, for he was a monstrous thing and fashioned marvelously, nor was he like to any man that lives by bread, but like a wooded peak of the towering hills, which stands out apart and alone from others.' Odysseus, choosing twelve men, the best of the company, left his ships at shore and sallied to the vast cave. It was found stocked abundantly with cheeses, flocks of lambs and kids penned apart, milk pails, bowls of whey; and when the company had entered and was sitting to wait, expecting hospitality, the owner came in, shepherding his flocks. He bore a grievous weight of dry wood, which he cast down with a din inside the cave, so that in fear all fled to hide. Lifting a huge doorstone, such as two and twenty good four-wheeled wains could not have raised from the ground, he set this against the mouth of the cave, sat down, milked his ewes and goats, and beneath each placed her young, after which he kindled a fire and spied his guests ...
