R (Small Washington Tablet)
 

37. → 1037 = 17 * 61

... There is much to consider and; by the way, the 1000 + 1 nights upheld by Scheherazade should induce us to look for glyph number 1001 on the A tablet. And with 1333 at Aa8-84 this place ought to be 332 nights (glyphs) earlier ...

The number of glyphs on the Tahua (A) tablet is 1334. From our newly aquired insight of how Schedir was located 60 days after January 29, we can guess these 60 days might have represented a kind of dark interregnum period before day zero in spring.

1334 + 60 = 1394 → January 29 (Ca11-30) + 1000.

The Chinese structure has Sadalmelik (the Lucky King) at February 18 instead of the White Spot (Al Kurhah) at the throat of King Cepheus. The Greek royal family (Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Andromeda) was presumably a later creation than the Great One (Aquarius).

... Furud is either from Al Furud, the Bright Single One [which ought to refer to Canopus I believe], or, perhaps by a transcriber's error, from Al Kurūd, the Apes, referring to the surrounding small stars with some of those of Columba; Ideler thought the latter derivation more probable. Al Sufi mentioned these as Al Agribah, the Ravens. ζ marks the toe of the right hind foot ...

"Kazwini called this [ξ Cephei] Al Kurbah, an Arabic word that Ideler translted as a white spot, or blaze, in the face of a horse; but thinking this not a proper stellar name, suggested Al Kirdah, the Ape. He seems here, however, to have forgotten Al Hikah of Orion, of the same meaning as that to which he objected." (Allen)

I think it would be suitable to have a clever tree climber like an ape at the apex.

And then came the Dancing Outdoor Man in order to save the situation, viz. Perseus:

... The old man's daughter heard him singing, and said to her father: 'O, let the stranger come into the house; he sings and dances so beautifully.' ...

... The Perseus constellation is beginning with Φ Andromedae, i.e. at FEBRUARY 1 ...

... When the man, Ulu, returned to his wife from his visit to the temple at Puueo, he said, 'I have heard the voice of the noble Mo'o, and he has told me that tonight, as soon as darkness draws over the sea and the fires of the volcano goddess, Pele, light the clouds over the crater of Mount Kilauea, the black cloth will cover my head. And when the breath has gone from my body and my spirit has departed to the realms of the dead, you are to bury my head carefully near our spring of running water. Plant my heart and entrails near the door of the house. My feet, legs, and arms, hide in the same manner. Then lie down upon the couch where the two of us have reposed so often, listen carefully throughout the night, and do not go forth before the sun has reddened the morning sky. If, in the silence of the night, you should hear noises as of falling leaves and flowers, and afterward as of heavy fruit dropping to the ground, you will know that my prayer has been granted: the life of our little boy will be saved.' And having said that, Ulu fell on his face and died ...
