In Q we have learned (cfr at ariga erua) to divide the number of glyphs by 2 in order to reach the number of days. Furthermore, 64 days (= 46 reversed) from the end of side b seems to be needed in order to reach the number of days counted from winter solstice:

*Qb5-35 *Qb5-36 (610)
369 = 610 / 2 + 64 = 305 + 64
day 1 (= 369 - 368)

Though we have seen alternative points to begin from (cfr at ika hiku):

144 452
*Qb5-17 (1) *Qb5-18 Qb2-15 Qb2-16 (454)
(146 + 454) / 2 = 300 days
138 448
*Qb5-23 (1) *Qb5-24 Qb2-11 Qb2-12 (450)
(140 + 450) / 2 = 295 days
126 460
*Qb5-35 (1) *Qb5-36 Qb2-23 Qb2-24 (462)
64 + 231 = 64 + 462 / 2 = 295 days

The beginning of glyph line Qb2 apparently is where the 10 months of sun are ending, and counting from 'Qb5-35--36 gives the best result:

126 446
*Qb5-35 (1) *Qb5-36 Qb2-9 Qb2-10 (448)
64 + 448 / 2 = 288 days

Rogo in Qb2-10 is vanishing. 448 can be read as 4 * 48 = 192448 is not a trivial arbitrary number.
