Moonshine paths for 3A and 6A nodes of the extended E8-diagram
  We continue the program to make a moonshine path between a node of the extended $E_8$-diagram and the Monster. Our theory is a concrete model expressing some of the mysterious connections identified by John McKay, George Glauberman and Simon Norton. In this article, we treat the 3A and 6A-nodes. We determine the orbits of triples $(x,y,z)$ in the Monster where $z\in 2B$, $x, y \in 2A \cap C(z)$ and $xy\in 3A \cup 6A$. Such $x, y$ correspond to a rootless $EE_8$-pair in the Leech lattice. For the 3A and 6A cases, we shall say something about the "half Weyl groups", which are proposed in the Glauberman-Norton theory. Most work in this article is with lattices, due to their connection with dihedral subgroups of the Monster. These lattices are $M+N$, where $M, N$ is the relevant pair of $EE_8$-sublattices, and their annihilators in the Leech lattice. The isometry groups of these four lattices are analyzed.
