9.   If Vrischika was marking the end (†) at day number 241

then day zero (*) should be 241 glyphs earlier in the text. And 424 (Cb2-8) - 241 = 183 → 366 / 2 → Count! Hia!

The Fore Spout was located at the beginning of the Pegasus Square and 16 days later came the Rear Spout (the 2nd spout) presumably marking the point of revival (resurrection, return to life, recycle) - like that at the 2nd ceremony of breaking the coconut.

... The correspondence between the winter solstice and the kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived at as follows: ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking the coconut', when the priests assemble at the temple to spot the rising of the Pleiades, coincides with the full moon (Hua tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In the latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at sunset on 18 November. Ten days later (28 November), the Lono effigy sets off on its circuit, which lasts twenty-three days, thus bringing the god back for the climactic battle with the king on 21 December, the solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved, since it depends on the coincidence of the full moon and the crepuscular rising of the Pleiades ....

... For when the ruler drinks the sacred offering, he is in the state of intoxication Fijians call 'dead from' (mateni) or 'dead from kava' (mate ni yaqona), to recover from which is explicitly 'to live' (bula). This accounts for the second cup the chief is alone accorded, the cup of fresh water. The god is immediately revived, brought again to life - in a transformed state ...
