Ga6-6 is the first glyph in a 360-day long calendar:
112 (the difference between 472 and 360) is equal to 4 * 28. Ga6-6 comes one month beyond Ga5-5, a glyph with maitaki at left and henua at right:
Ga5-5 has number 116 = 4 * 29. Rei in Ga5-6 is initiating a new season. 5 months later, at Hua Reva (which we here ought to count as 10 * 30 = 300), an open mouth with 9 red teeth 'swallows' the sun. The last 2 months of the solar year are ruled by the moon.
