321. The Arabs had their Al Ghafr (the Covering) at Syrma (ι Virginis) which at the time of rongorongo was 101 days before January 31 (396). And October 22 (295) - 223 (August 11) = 72 (= 360 / 5) = the distance from the End (Al Tarf, λ Leonis) to Syrma.

This Arab structure should therefore have had its day 396 + 14 = 410 in February 14 (All Hearts' Day), a position ringing true because Bharani rose heliacally 41 days after 0h. Furthermore, from the time of the Julian calendar (assumed by me to be *27 precessional days earlier than the time of rongorongo) down to Bharani (*41) there were *41 - *27 = 14 right ascension days (as in February 14 = 14 days after January 31). The Explorers left Hiva in Vaitu Nui 25 (115) and counted from Syrma (295) to February 14 (410) there were 115 days.

Precession would change 101 days from Syrma to January 31 also change 115 days from Syrma to February 14, but some other star would surely come in handy.

Returning now to the C text we can perceive how glyph 396 once upon a time could have represented  the last day of January, viz. in a time-frame 79 (= 9 weeks + 16) precessional days earlier than that of rongorongo (1842 AD). Notably the number of glyph positions on the G tablet is 472 (which 'happens to be' equal to 393 + 63 + 16). And (396 - 3 =) 393 + 63 = 456 (= 24 * 19 = 396 + 60).

... There were 10 Star Kings before the Deluge and the first one of them was Hamal (α Arietis): ... Strassmeier and Epping, in their Astronomishes aus Babylon, say that there its stars formed the third of the twenty-eight ecliptic constellations, - Arku-sha-rishu-ku, literally the Back of the Head of Ku, - which had been established along that great circle milleniums before our era; and Lenormant quotes, as an individual title from cuneiform inscriptions, Dil-kar, the Proclaimer of Dawn, that Jensen reads As-kar, and others Dil-gan, the Messenger of Light. George Smith inferred from the tablets that it might be the Star of the Flocks; while other Euphratean names have been Lu-lim, or Lu-nit, the Ram's Eye; and Si-mal or Si-mul, the Horn star, which came down even to late astrology as the Ram's Horn. It also was Anuv, and had its constellation's titles I-ku and I-ku-u, - by abbreviation Ku, - the Prince, or the Leading One, the Ram that led the heavenly flock, some of íts titles at a different date being applied to Capella of Auriga. Brown associates it with Aloros, the first of the ten mythical kings of Akkad anterior to the Deluge, the duration of whose reigns proportionately coincided with the distances apart of the ten chief ecliptic stars beginning with Hamal, and he deduces from this kingly title the Assyrian Ailuv, and hence the Hebrew Ayil; the other stars corresponding to the other mythical kings being Alcyone, Aldebaran, Pollux, Regulus, Spica, Antares, Algenib, Deneb Algedi, and Scheat ...

From the kai gesture we can see how things would be growing again with a good time ahead.

... The earth rises up from the sea again, and is green and beautiful and things grow without sowing. Vidar and Vali are alive, for neither the sea nor the flames of Surt have hurt them and they dwell on the Eddyfield, where once stood Asgard. There come also the sons of Thor, Modi and Magni, and bring along his hammer. There come also Balder and Hoder from the other world. All sit down and converse together. They rehearse their runes and talk of events of old days. Then they find in the grass the golden tablets that the Aesir once played with. Two children of men will also be found safe from the great flames of Surt. Their names, Lif and Lifthrasir, and they feed on the morning dew and from this human pair will come a great population which will fill the earth. And strange to say, the sun, before being devoured by Fenrir, will have borne a daughter, no less beautiful and going the same ways as her mother ...

Here Hamal was at the back side (in the past).

When in Roman times the Sun reached 'March 25 (84) - the Julian equinox - it meant summer was ahead. When south of the equator the Full Moon reached the Julian equinox it meant summer was ahead. Both in the north and in the south the Julian equinox meant that when the Back of the Head of Ku was in the past things would look brighter again. The Front of the Head of Ku was once again looking forward:
