The henua ora glyphs in E refer to the solstices, the places where sun takes a rest:

1 2 3 4 5 (spring equinox) 6
7 8 9 10 (summer solstice) 11 12
13 14 15 16 17 18 (autumn equinox)
19 20 21 22 23 24 (winter solstice)

Solstices and equinoxes are located at points which do not coincide with the points where the major calendar periods change. In our own calendar, for example, new year arrives later than winter solstice, spring equinox before the 1st of April, summer solstice before the 1st of July and autumn equinox before the 1st of October.
