Moon moves from
west to east (it is lagging behind the sun and the other stars
which serve as reference points for a stable sky), i.e. in the
opposite of the perceived direction of the sun who rises in the
east and goes down in the west. Therefore, it is to be suspected
that we should measure multiples of 59 from Ga1-1 instead of
from Gb8-30 - moon behaves contrary to the sun.
If we count
multiples of 59, beginning at Ga1-1, there is room for 8
kuhane stations. Let us try to arrange those 8 glyphs with
ordinal numbers i * 59 (where i = 1, 2, 3, ... 8) in parallel
with the odd numbered kuhane stations (supposing each
station stands for a lunar month 29.5 nights long). First we
must list the glyphs, and we can see that Ga1-1 will be counted
twice, not only as number 1 but also as the final 8 * 59 = 472:
