1280 for Aa8-31 is not a coincidence - it was planned to be so. To understand why is to find out the meaning of the kava glyph type. 1280 = 256 * 5 suggests we should add one more set of 5 fingers to reach 261 = 9 * 29. Not only did we find viri glyphs connected with 29, but also 261 has popped out more than once, e.g. in the distance between Gb1-6 and Ga1-26:
Fingers are symbols for fire. After 256 hands the fire is finished (8 is the 'perfect number' and measures out the maximum number of 'doublings'). Add one more hand and we will be in darkness, symbolized by 261 (9 * 29). 261 is one more than 260. We can add 4 fingers to 256 (the number equal to 8 'doublings' of one finger) and still be in the light. I think this is the reason why once a long time ago 260 became the total number of days in calendars (e.g. the Maya tzolkin). Using this frame of reference it is obvious that Aa8-30--31 are located at a crucial point in the calendar, where the old light (year) is in need of regeneration:
