12 * 14 = 168 = 7 * 24, and with Rogo in Cb7-24 a new season is being born:

Cb7-22 Cb7-23 Cb7-24 (168) Cb7-25 Cb7-26 Cb7-27
Cb8-1 Cb8-2 Cb8-3 (174) Cb8-4

His open hand in front is two glyphs later rather abruptly turned into another entity, the disc of the new sun. We can count 7 * 26 = 182 at Cb7-26. Tagata rere and Rogo exhibit opposite traits, presumably they indicate end respectively new beginning.

Saturn at Cb7-25 can similarly be imagined as 175, which could point at ihe tau at Cb8-4 (glyph number 10 counted from ihe tau at Cb7-22, where 22 / 7 can be read as 3.14).

392 (side a) + 348 (side b) = 740 glyphs in all (= 14 * 28 + 6 * 58), which number then can be reshuffled into 20 * 28 + 6 * 30 = 560 + 180.

392 + 168 (at Rogo in Cb7-24) = 560 is a fact which possibly explains why there are 8 'missing' glyphs on side a (viz. in order to reach the expected number of a cycle of 400).

We should note that this Rogo is not at winter solstice, he may instead be a symbol for the end of a 560-day long cycle. On side a the new year after winter solstice evidently comes with vai in Ca12-14 (where 12 * 14 = 168):

waning sun waxing sun
116 62
Ca8-12 (211) Ca12-12 (328) Ca12-13 Ca12-14
118 = 4 * 29.5 63
182 = 13 * 14

Because then it will be possible to count 100 days from Ca12-14 to tagata rere in Ca2-11:

waxing sun
36 139 33
Ca2-11 (100) Ca7-9 (177)
6 * 29.5 = 177
210 = 14 * 15

Clearly the vai signs serve to connect Ca12-14 with Ca2-11 (connecting the end of side a with its beginning), because only 3 of the normal 4 crescent signs are present.

Tagata rere in Ca7-9 will be number 63 + 177 = 240 counted from Ca12-14. Possibly 7 * 9 = 63 (in Ca7-9) is a reminder not to forget adding 63.

Spring sun (only 3 crescent marks, as in 3 * 60 = 180) apparently is being reborn at Ca12-14 the day after the old sun leaves. After vae comes vai. But only after 100 days does the spring sun arrive for real. Spring equinox must be passed.
