Tama The little child (tamaiti) is the new year. Counting with the lowest of the measures, it is significant to find it to be 14 * 28.5 = 399. A new 'earth' with 4 sides each 100 days long is about to rise once again from the 'water', spinning around its axis. Gb6-1 presumably should be regarded as located at the last 'corner' of the previous 'earth: 384 = 2 * 192 and 16 * 25 = 400:
The expected structural order (based on 7 = 14 * ½ glyphs) is not to be found. Instead there is an order based on twice 8:
Then follows 12 + 15 glyphs in a rather disorderly manner, before next glyph line arrives:
15 * 29.5 = 442.5 is One Tea. Tao in Gb7-17 could theoretically be the beginning of One Tea, because 15 * 28.5 = 427.5 - i.e. Tama would coincide with One Tea from Gb7-17 up to and including 14 * 31 = 434 (Gb7-23), see the redmarked sequence of glyphs. However, the glyphs tell a different story. A new era has arrived, when there no longer is any possibility to correlate moon with the old 'earth'. Moon herself can now define Tama as the pair of glyphs Gb7-2--3, with the tamaiti glyph typ as number 15 counted according to the new 'earth':
At 14 * 28.5 a pair of glyphs are also used:
