217. The idea of a
polar cap, where the immortal gods could be
dwelling, not belonging in the cycles of
birth (at the horizon in the east) and death
(in the west), could have been expressed in
the C text through the location of the
central part between side a and side b. The
wooden bowl was remaining in sight because
the stars at the north pole were never going
down.
... I became curious about this star ...
called Nuutuittuq [= 'never moves']
... So, on the lee side of our uquutaq
(a snow windbreak) I positioned a harpoon
pointing directly at this particular star to
see if it would move. In the morning I
checked it and discovered that the
Tukturjuit (Ursa Major) had changed
their position completely but the harpoon
still pointed at this star ... I had
discovered the stationary star ...
Polaris was at the last glyph on side a and
the last star in Ursa Minor (Kakkab,
Kochab) rose immediately after Bharani -
although at the opposite side of the sky.

Ga.
Preposed
plural marker of rare
usage. 1. Sometimes used
with a few nouns
denoting human beings,
more often omitted.
Te ga vî'e, te ga poki,
the women and the
children. Ga rauhiva
twins. 2. Used with some
proper names. Ga
Vaka, Alpha and Beta
Centauri (lit. Canoes).
Vanaga.
Significantly this is
the only place among the
readings of Metoro where
he used the binome
rere ga. Beta
Centauri (Agena, the
Knee) rose together with
Thuban and this was 9 (=
*221 - *212) days
earlier than Toliman at

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 glyphs. Likewise
were there 9
precessional days from
*32 to *41 (Bharani).

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 ...

Here the right
ascension time lines were
converging
and therefore the days of the
gods were not like the days of
mortals:
... The story of Rip Van Winkle
is set in the years before and
after the American Revolutionary
War. Rip Van Winkle, a villager
of Dutch descent, lives in a
nice village at the foot of New
York's Catskill Mountains. An
amiable man whose home and farm
suffer from his lazy neglect, he
is loved by all but his wife.
One autumn day he escapes his
nagging wife by wandering up the
mountains. After encountering
strangely dressed men, rumored
to be the ghosts of Henry
Hudson's crew, who are playing
nine-pins, and after drinking
some of their liquor, he settles
down under a shady tree and
falls asleep.
He wakes up twenty years later
and returns to his village. He
finds out that his wife is dead
and his close friends have died
in a war or gone somewhere else.
He immediately gets into trouble
when he hails himself a loyal
subject of King George III, not
knowing that in the meantime the
American Revolution has taken
place.
An old local recognizes him,
however, and Rip's now grown
daughter eventually puts him up
...
The time-space
lines were curved.
