6 of the 12 glyphs describe the first half of the night:

Aa1-37 Aa1-38 Aa1-39 Aa1-40 Aa1-41 Aa1-42

The two first (though slightly different, as we have seen) obviously are a pair. Having noticed this we can perceive also Aa1-39--40 and Aa1-41--42 as pairs. The structure can be regarded as consisting of two triplets (Aa1-37--39 respectively Aa1-40--42) or of three pairs.

These 6 glyphs come after Aa1-36, the last glyph in the day calendar, and with Aa1-42 as the last of the glyphs before midnight (Aa1-43) we should remember the distribution of glyphs on side a and b on Tahua:

side a

670

 200π + 42

side b

664

 200π + 36

sum

1334

400π + 78

Also the numbers are signs to be interpreted.
