Now, we can try to identify in which day (counted from winter solstice) koti at Ab4-36 is located.

glyph numbers are counted from Ab8-41
Ab4-33 Ab4-34 Ab4-35 Ab4-36 (995) Ab4-37 Ab4-38
Ab4-39 Ab4-40 Ab4-41 (1000) Ab4-42

995 / 2 = 497.5 > 368. Therefore we can begin counting days from the 1st of those 300 (which apparently stretch from winter solstice to Te Pei). Ab4-36 will then be glyph number 995 - 736 = 259:

glyph numbers are counted from Ab1-22
Ab4-32 Ab4-33 (256) Ab4-34 Ab4-35 Ab4-36 (259) Ab4-37
128 129 day 260 / 2 = 130
Ab4-38 Ab4-39 Ab4-40 Ab4-41 (264)
131 132

Let us compare with G, to see how day 130 (counted from winter solstice) is described in that text:

2
Ga3-6 (66) Ga3-7 Ga3-8 Ga3-9

The season is early spring. Both 3-6 and 66 are significant and we can conclude that day 130 is special. There is a 'break in time' from day 130 to day 131:

day 130 manu rere tagata day 131
Ab4-37 (260) Ab4-38
Ga3-6 (66) Ga3-7

The 'fists' are closed. Ua (Ab4-40) is still in command, and tapa mea is reversed.
