This discussion has given much, not only that number of glyphs probably are equal to number of days in H (and P) too, but also that kake manu glyphs evidently occupy what can be called Janus positions, i.e. they look back on an old year and forward to a new year.

In H the fish type manu kake is at the final of a 364-day long year, and important distances apparently are measured in multiples of 26: 

*26 *8
*Ha7-20 (*364) *Ha7-47 (*391) Ha8-5 (*400)

The bird type manu kake instead is tuned to another type of year. To reach 400 from 364 it is necessary to first add 26 and then 10. 360 = 260 + 100.

The successful excursions into manu kake in G and H should induce us to once again venture into the text of H, because it has 3 more manu kake to offer. We will therefore take a quick look at this pair of fish manu kake:

Ha12-7 Ha12-9
