If we think that Cb11-18 is referring to day 366, then we can reconstruct the other day numbers:

13 62
Cb11-17 Cb11-18 (662) Cb12-10 (676) Cb12-11 Cb14-19 (740)
366 367 381 382 445

Before running ahead we must see if the assumption of 1 glyph per day fits with Cb11-17 as day 366. Or whether we should count 2 glyphs per day and find another suitable first glyph. Or whether neither gives a satisfactory result. Let us first, though, note that 661 - 366 = 295 (= 10 lunar months). There may be more than one point from which to begin counting.

Koti at top right in Cb12-10 presumably refers to the end of the dark season, but the break in Cb11-18 is horizontal, which may be a sign of the moon. The rising kahi fish in Cb11-17 is curved. The day number should rather be 295 then 366.

Glyph number 1 - if we have decided Cb11-17 to be number 295 - is, of course, glyph number 366 (counted from Ca1-1):

Ca13-19 Ca13-20
*Ca14-1 *Ca14-2 *Ca14-3 (366) *Ca14-4 *Ca14-5

These glyphs probably refer to winter solstice. Cb11-18 should therefore not refer to winter solstice. Instead the 'station' is rather to be identified as the 10th kuhane station (10 * 29.5 = 295).

Our main goal has been reached, to get a grip on the inverted maro at right in Cb11-18. It presumably defines a moon station, the 10th kuhane station:

summer solstice winter solstice 8 lunar months 10 lunar months
Ga5-15 *Ca14-23 Gb1-7 (237) Cb11-18 (295)

And like the inverted maro in Gb1-7 it comes immediately after the station in question.
