Bb1.1

Let's add the right ascension days of the nakshatra Full Moon:

Jan 28 29 30 31 (396) Febr 1 2 3
Febr 4 5 6 7 8 (404) 9 10
Febr 11 12 13 14 15 16 (412) 17
Febr 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 (420)

February counts as 4 * 7 = 28 days and therefore we should add 4 more:

Febr 25 (421) 26 27 28 (364 + 60)

421 = number of glyphs on side a of the tablet.

422 = 396 + 26.

423 = 4 * 91 + 2 * 29½.

424 = 392 + 32 = 364 + 28 + 32 = 364 + 60 = 365 + 59.

There are only 31 glyphs in line Bb1 and therefore February 28 should be at the first glyph in line Bb2.

The tresses of the World Mother (Pachamama) counts as 396 and the wedges at the top of glyph 422 resemble the knots in her tresses.
