Possibly the pure glyph type is constructed from two bent henua, which together form an opening resembling a mouth. By implication a pure glyph would then probably illustrate a calendrical cycle.

Investigating, in K, this thread of thought, it is found that isolated bent henua are not  frequent. A few bent in one direction are located at the beginning of the text and a single one bent the other way is in the later half of the text:

concave at left
Ka1-7 Ka2-7 Ka2-8
concave at right
Kb4-5
 
To come further it is necessary to once again look at the structure of the K text. We need to move to the very beginning to find Ka1-7 and to move towards the end of the text in order to reach Kb4-5.
