180. In the C text we have located heliacal Kochab (the Star) in position 407, i.e. at Cb1-15 (→ 115 = 23 * 5, → 55 = 11 * 5), with the place of birth (Bharani) at the Full Moon:

The sequence of heliacal star dates in the text seems here to make a jump ahead with 1 place, because *366 = 365 + 1 and from Arcturus, Syrma (*215) to Zuben Elgenubi (*224) there were not 9 but 8 days.

... 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 ...

The first day in MARCH, where at the time of rongorongo the 'nose' (open jaw, vaha mea) of the Great Fish (α Ceti) rose heliacally, came 16 + 1 days after Sheratan, and at the time of Bharani this place was 3-24, the day before the Julian equinox.

At the time of Bharani the Demon star Algol was at the Julian equinox and at the time of Hyadum II the Mouth of the Sea Beast (Menkar) would have arrived in day 60 (MARCH 1). FEBRUARY 28 was day 31 + 28 = 59 corresponding to May 3 (123) - 64.

...Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. - Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 139–144.

But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. - Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 145–148 ...

Kochab (2.07) was the first and brightest star in Ursa Minor - excepting Polaris (1.97) who was at the other side of the pole:

7 right ascension positions (one should avoid saying days when discussing circumpolar stars) after Kochab (β) was γ (Pherkad, 3.00 in apparent luminosity) which I earlier have documented as The Dim One of the Two Calves, though this name should be reserved for the dimmer of the pair of calves, viz. δ (Pherkard, 4.35) - located 37 right ascension places after Pherkad (γ).

The number of 'rain droplets' in the 4 'rivers of time' above are 121 as in the day number for ºMay 1 (at heliacal Algol) or as the place for the tattoing instrument (hoea) in Cb1-21.

Hat-hor (the House of Horus) emerged after 11 * 11 dark nights. But she could not be observed before night number 121 + 16 = 137. In ancient Egypt everything was upside down and it was a Cow instead of a Bull. But Bulls cannot give birth and Bharani was a place for birth.
