If we take Eb4-4 to be a midpoint (still guessing the glyph is marking summer solstice), then we should continue to glyph number 150 to see if we can find any confirmation of the midpoint:

1 55 11 48 19 25 24 16 24
18
Eb2-13 Eb4-4 Eb5-11 Eb6-2 Eb6-19
19 75 124 150 167

The sign of maro (at right in Eb6-2) is promising. It means 'final' and the word occurs e.g. in He Maro the last month of the year (June).

Taking a closer look at the glyphs around Eb6-2 we find what evidently is a description of the end of the year:

Eb5-35 Eb6-1 Eb6-2 Eb6-3 Eb6-4 Eb6-5
148 149 150 0 1 2

Eb6-1 probably pictures the emptiness (in the calendar) between the end of one calendar year and the next, between the old 'king' and the new one.

New light appears in Eb6-3, which we recognize from the K calendar, where Ka3-15 is the 1st glyph in the 1st period of the new year:

Ka3-14 Ka3-15 Ka3-16
