... Sir James Frazer, like Gwion, has pointed out the similarity of 'door' words in all Indo-European languages and shown Janus to be a 'stout guardian of the door' with his head pointing in both directions. As usual, however, he does not press his argument far enough. Duir as the god of the oak month looks both ways because his post is at the turn of the year; which identifies him with the Oak-god Hercules who became the door-keeper of the Gods after his death. He is probably also to be identified with the British god Llyr of Lludd or Nudd, a god of the sea - i.e. a god of a sea-faring Bronze Age people - who was the 'father' of Creiddylad (Cordelia) an aspect of the White Goddess; for according to Geoffrey of Monmouth the grave of Llyr at Leicester was in a vault built in honour of Janus. Geoffrey writes: Cordelia obtaining the government of the Kingdom buried her father in a certain vault which she ordered to be made for him under the river Sore in Leicester (Leircester) and which had been built originally under the ground in honour of the god Janus. And here all the workmen of the city, upon the anniversary solemnity of that festival, used to begin their yearly labours ...

... When the Sun in March 14 (73, 3-14 as in π) reached Manus Catenata, the Chained Hand of Andromeda, it meant the Full Moon would be at Virgo in September 14 (*177 = 6 * 29½). The Sun had 2 wives, one high up in the north and the other one down at the equator. Anciently, at the time when α Columbae (Phakt → Phekda, γ Ursae Majoris, 'Thigh') had been at 0h, the head of Virgo had arrived after the summer solstice (in day 84 + 88 = 172) and the right hand of Andromeda had been chained at the December solstice (in day 12 * 29½ + 1 = 355 = 172 + 183).

At the time of rongorongo, however, Virgo and Andromeda had advanced in the Sun calendar with 84 days (14 weeks) + 4 days (because of the change from the date of the Julian spring equinox to that of the Gregorian spring equinox). Therefore ξ Virginis was now in day 257 (= *177 + 80) = September 14. But due to how Gregory XIII had omitted to correct in his new calendar for the effects of the precession before the Council of Nicaea (AD 325 as in 3-25 → Julian equinox) the date should rather have been day 260 = 172 + 88 (= 84 + 4) = 257 + 3.

... Vainamoinen set about building a boat, but when it came to the prow and the stern, he found he needed three words in his rune that he did not know, however he sought for them. In vain he looked on the heads of the swallows, on the necks of the swans, on the backs of the geese, under the tongues of the reindeer. He found a number of words, but not those he needed. Then he thought of seeking them in the realm of Death, Tuonela, but in vain. He escaped back to the world of the living only thanks to his potent magic. He was still missing his three runes. He was then told by a shepherd to search in the mouth of Antero Vipunen, the giant ogre. The road, he was told, went over swords and sharpened axes. Ilmarinen made shoes, shirt and gloves of iron for him, but warned him that he would find the great Vipunen dead. Nevertheless, the hero went. The giant lay underground, and trees grew over his head. Vainamoinen found his way to the giant's mouth, and planted his iron staff in it. The giant awoke and suddenly opened his huge mouth. Vainamoinen slipped into it and was swallowed. As soon as he reached the enormous stomach, he thought of getting out. He built himself a raft and floated on it up and down inside the giant. The giant felt tickled and told him in many and no uncertain words where he might go, but he did not yield any runes. Then Vainamoinen built a smithy and began to hammer his iron on an anvil, torturing the entrails of Vipunen, who howled out magic songs to curse him away. But Vainamoinen said, thank you, he was very comfortable and would not go unless he got the secret words. Then Vipunen at last unlocked the treasure of his powerful runes. Many days and nights he sang, and the sun and the moon and the waves of the sea and the waterfalls stood still to hear him. Vainamoinen treasured them all and finally agreed to come out. Vipunen opened his great jaws, and the hero issued forth to go and build his boat at last ...

And Andromeda was no longer forced to stand still but was free from her chains and moving quickly a week before 0h.
