The calendars do not end, however, until a multiple of 16 has been reached. Working with for instance 30½ glyphs per month it is possible to locate yet another calendar:

242 242
Gb8-30 Gb1-14 Gb1-15 Ga1-16
244 = 8 * 30½ 244 = 8 * 30½

Here the exemplified stations are defined by adding 6, 8, 10, and 12 to the ordinal numbers as defined by the multiples of 29.5:

Nga Kope Ririva Te Pei Hua Reva Hatinga Te Kohe
Ga7-7 Gb1-6 Gb3-4 Gb4-33
+ 6 + 8 + 10 + 12
Ga7-13 Gb1-14 Gb3-14 Gb5-12
183 = 6 * 30½ 244 = 8 * 30½ 305 = 10 * 30½ 366 = 12 * 30½

Conceptually Hanga Te Pau (Gb5-12) is very close to Hatinga Te Kohe - both describe the end of the year.

Already at Hua Reva, though, the sun of the year has left - there is a hole where the sun 'eye' used to be.
