As our next step we can include a beautiful double Rei (Pa3-4), the primary viri glyph (Pb9-21) and a gnomon-like Pb10-1 which is connected by 29 glyphs to the primary viri:
 
896 = 28 * 32 11 17 115
Pa3-3 Pa3-4 Pb9-21 Pb9-33 Pb10-1
115 116 1013 1025 1043
116 = 4 * 29 29 116 = 4 * 29

We have now wiped away 16 * 26 and 19 * 26 to make room for new facts. Redmarked numbers are 116 + 29 + 116 = 9 * 29 = 261, which we recognize as an important viri measurement from the text of G:

261 = 9 * 29
Gb1-6 Ga1-26

261 + 896 = 1157, one glyph has not been counted. It is te pito (Pb9-33).

896 = 28 * 32 are those glyphs which lie between the double Rei in Pa3-4 and the first of the 3 viri (Pb9-21). 28 alludes to the number of nights in a month when moon is illuminated by the rays from the sun. 896 glyphs are used for describing the light part of the year, while 261 glyphs are used for the dark part.

The dark part of the year can alternatively be described as 19 * 39:

493 247 = 13 * 19 415
Pa10-1 Pb9-33 Pa3-3
531 1025 115
494 = 26 * 19 0 416 = 16 * 26

19 * 39 + 16 * 26 = 741 + 416 = 1157, once again Pb9-33 is not counted. Both expressions (9 * 29 and 19 * 39) are using 9 to indicate darkness. Turning 9 upside down we will have 6, the sign of light (as in 16 * 26 = 416).
