With one day per glyph the curious measure 167 days could describe the time before sun leaves the island:

sun light barred spring sun leaves
ca 59 days ca 108 days ca 25 days
ca 167 days
ca 192 days

With two days per glyph a similar measure will be 168 days, the sum of 118 and 50:

sun light barred sun present sun leaves
ca 118 days ca 216 days ca 50 days
ca 384 days

168 = 2 * 84 = 6 * 28, which feels easier to accept than the odd figure 167.

And 216 = 6 * 36 = 6 * 6 * 6, maybe alluding to the three 'feathers' of 'daylight' (i.e. with sun present).

The new structure for K, with 2 days for each glyph, seems promising. It would indeed be strange with a calendar showing only half the year.
