At ragi in this glyph dictionary the 6th period of the E calendar was found to be following what presumably is spring equinox (in period 5). It was also stated that period 6 was 'an overview' - implying an introduction in period 6 to the following periods (7-24), resembling the table of contents at the beginning of a book. This statement was, though, probably premature and not true, which we will be able to judge from what follows.

We begin by recapitulating how periods 5-6 were listed in the ragi 'chapter':

5

Eb3-1

Eb3-2

Eb3-3

Eb3-4

Eb3-5

Eb3-6

34

35

36

37

38

34 etc are ordinal numbers counted from the beginning of the calendar (Eb1-37).

Eb3-11 is probably located at the beginning of summer.

Following the link 'the beginning of summer' a page commented upon the resemblance between Sb2-8

 

and the contents in period 6:

Sb2-8 contains at left vai and at right the same kind 'arm' as those at left and right of ragi:

Eb3-7

Eb3-8

Eb3-9

Eb3-10

Eb3-11

Eb3-12

In Gb3-25--26 yet another constellation with vai and the double 'arms' occur:

Gb3-24

Gb3-25

Gb3-26

We can see a relationship between period 6 in the E calendar and Sb2-8. It remains to be shown the further relationship between pure and two bent henua.
