By now it must be clear that GD16 (vai) is a symbol for the sun.

There remains, though, at least one question to be answered: Why is there a single oval in Hb9-18 and a double in Pb10-30?

Sunday
	Hb9-17	Hb9-18	Hb9-19	Hb9-20	Hb9-21
			Only three glyphs in the P calendar.
	Pb10-29	Pb10-30	Only three glyphs in the P calendar.		Pb10-31

The answer can be made simple, the creator of P had his idiosyncrasies:

At left normal (unmarked) GD11 according to P and at right normal GD11 according to other texts, in which an eye is to be read as an extra sign meaning something in addition to unmarked GD11. Unmarked vai in P has a double oval and this does not imply a separate meaning from what we can read in Hb9-18.
