Later on, in the 21st period of the calendar, the 'humpback' makes his appearance:

21
Ka3-1 Ka3-2 Ka3-3 Kb2-111 Kb2-112 Kb2-113

Here the open henua (Kb2-112) presumably is a determinative of the 'humpback', to be read as a 'spiritual' or 'ghostly' (no sun present) season. Then the 22nd and 23rd periods complete the season:

22
Kb3-1 Kb3-2 Kb3-3 Kb3-4 Kb3-5 Kb3-6
23 In Kb3-8 the middle henua is reversed, compared to those in Ka4-15 and *Kb2-15 (see below). The order of the double henua in Kb3-8 is also reversed compared to that in Kb2-14--15.
Kb3-7 Kb3-8

In Kb3-1--2 (initiating the new glyph line) vanishing is very clearly described. Periods 20-23 is characterized by the strangely bent bottoms:

Kb3-8

This is probably a way to illustrate the turning around of the sun. Therefore, we can also understand the similarly bent tail of mago:

Ka3-1 Ka3-2 Ka4-13 Ka4-14 Ka4-15

It illustrates the opposite turning around, when sun once again will show his 'face'.
