TAHUA
 

23   Once again. The creator of the A text could have counted October 31 as day 333 - 84 (March 25, the Julian equinox) = 249 after 0h (Antares, *249).

And the current position of κ Virginis could similarly have been counted as 290 days from the Julian equinox - using the Gregorian calendar updated with 4 days for the effects of the precessiion since AD 1582.

The 2nd of the 28 Chinese stations was the Neck at κ Virginis and its suggested animal was the Dragon - a creature up in the air instead of located at the level of the sea like the Crocodile 12 days earlier.

... Taetagaloa goes right over there and steps forward to the stern of the canoe saying - his words are these: 'The canoe is crooked.' (kalo ki ama). → Croocodile.

Ama. Outrigger. Vanaga.

Instantly Likāvaka is enraged at the words of the child. Likāvaka says: 'Who the hell are you to come and tell me that the canoe is crooked?' Taetagaloa replies: 'Come and stand over here and see that the canoe is crooked.' Likāvaka goes over and stands right at the place Taetagaloa told him to at the stern of the canoe. Looking forward, Taetagaloa is right, the canoe is crooked. He slices through all the lashings of the canoe to straighten the timbers. He realigns the timbers. First he must again position the supports, then place the timbers correctly in them, but Kuikava the son of Likāvaka goes over and stands upon one support. His father Likāvaka rushes right over and strikes his son Kuikava with his adze. Thus Kuikava dies. Taetagaloa goes over at once and brings the son of Likāvaka, Kuikava, back to life. Then he again aligns the supports correctly and helps Likāvaka in building the canoe. Working working it is finished ...

This idea is supported by the obvious high regard for number 29 (Mercury, Odin → Hermes Trismegistos).

... That there is a whirlpool in the sky is well known, it is most probably the essential one, and it is precisely located. It is a group of stars so named (zalos) at the foot of Orion, close to Rigel (beta Orionis, Rigel being the Arabic word for 'foot'), the degree of which was called 'death', according to Hermes Trismegistos, whereas the Maori claim outright that Rigel marked the way to Hades (Castor indicating the primordial homeland) ...

We must remember that the star named Mulu Bat was referring to Syrma in Virgo:

... ι alone, according to Hommel, was the Death Star, Mulu Bat ...

Death Star (*215, Syrma) - 'Death' (Rigel,*78) = *137 → 137 → Alcyone (*57) → December 31 when Atlas culminated.

I have not listed the culmination date for Rigel, but given the power of association (→) we can look at Thuban which evidently could have been regarded as a kind of Rigel twin:

Counted from the Julian spring equinox the date APRIL 4 should be day 14 - 4 = 10. And 10 days later, in June 17, was heliacal Betelgeuze, suggesting the culminating date January 29 (anciently the last day in January).
