56. The right forearm (or hand) of Tyr (as in Tuesday = the day of Mars) was lost in the mouth of Fenrir. 
 His sacrificed member could have referred to the 5th Arab station Al Dhirā':
In the C text the distance from the ºSeptember equinox at Ca1-6 to Arcturus at Cb1-6 was 392 glyphs (56 weeks), we remember:
... From the equinox in ºSeptember 22 (265) to Hamal close to the Full Moon in ºOctober 16 (289) in the following year there were 289 - 265 + 366 = 390 (= 30 * 13 = 15 * 26) days = 396 (Cb1-6) - 6 (Ca1-6). This number could have alluded to 780:
779.96 = approximatively 780 = 414 + 366 = 2 * 390 ... From Hamal at the beginning of summer (in the north) to Arcturus at its end (the anus of Bootes) there were 295 - 110 = 185 days, a suitable measure for half a year. The number of glyphs on the C tablet was 740 = 4 * 185.
Reading Gb7-30 heliacally - which we ought to do because of the evident frame of reference during the last 63 glyphs on side b - its illustration should rather refer to Aries than to Bootes (because the tablet was donated to people originating from the northern half of the globe): ... The officers of the Chilean corvette O'Higgins received this tablet and the Large Santiago Tablet from Father Roussel on Rapa Nui in 1870 ...
And then we will find how the date 'March 26 was equal to 370 (= 780 / 2) days after 0h:
And from heliacal Hamal in "March 10 (*354 = 12 * 29½) to the end of line Gb7 there were 3 days. In the center was FEBRUARY 17 (413 = 14 * 29½). ... 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 ... From nakshatra Arcturus to heliacal Hyadum II there were 32 days, equal to the distance from heliacal Sirrah to nakshatra Arcturus.
In Gb7-30 we can imagine the Forearm of Mars (Tyr, Ares) in the center
cut off from its origin, and then we can count 32 days back in time from Castor (the mortal twin) in day 193 (July 12), which will nicely put us at the beginning of the month of Jupiter. 193 - 32 = 161. ... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ... Number 32 (= 29 + 3) could have been important far back in time. 182 + 32 = 214 and 182 + 214 = 396, equal to the number we have counted in the tresses of Pachamama (Mother Earth):
... Counting again in the undulating tresses of Pachamama - after having realized it was probably the number of apexes which mattered - the intended order indeed comes clearly into view ...
