The last glyph in line a5 is also a hakaturou, though cut off at its bottom end:

32
Qa5-19 Qa5-20 Qa5-21 Qa5-22 Qa5-55 Qa6-1 (206)
144 145 16 206 / 2 + 59 = 162
18 = 2 + 16
26 6
Qa6-28 Qa6-29 (234) Qa6-36 Qa6-37 (242)
14 4
18 = 14 + 4

Qa5-22 is different from the preceding 3 hakaturou glyphs. Possibly we should count 5 * 19 + 5 * 20 + 5 * 21 = 300 as an allusion to the duration of the cloudless spring sky.

The day numbers maybe are meant to be counted 'by the sun' up to 'noon' and 'by the moon' from that point onwards:

Qa5-41 Qa5-42 (192) Qa5-43 Qa5-44 Qa5-45 Qa5-46
160 = 192 / 2 + 64 161 162
Qa5-47 Qa5-48 Qa5-49 Qa5-50 (200) Qa5-51 Qa5-52
163 164 165 = 202 / 2 + 59 + 5
Qa5-53 Qa5-54 Qa5-55 Qa6-1 Qa6-2 Qa6-3 (208)
166 167 168

Tagata in Qa5-52 (where 5 * 52 = 260) will be at day number 160 if counted by the moon, wheras day number 160 counted by the sun is located at glyph number 192 (counted from *Qa1-1).

Number 160 seems to be important. Perhaps it sometimes is to be understood as 8 * 20 (cfr at Qa6-3). If we count with 40 days for each doublemonth when Sun is dominant and 59 days for each doublemonth when Moon has taken over we will reach 4 * 40 + 4 * 59 = 160 + 236 + 396. Which can be played with: 3 * 96 = 288 = 12 * 24. Day 164 is important because by adding 200 (= 10 * 20) we will reach day 364 (= 14 * 26 = 13 * 28):

Qa6-4 Qa6-5 (210) Qa6-6 Qa6-7 Qa6-8 Qa6-9
164 = 210 / 2 + 59 165 166
Qa6-10 Qa6-11 Qa6-12 Qa6-13 (218) Qa6-14 Qa6-15
167 168 169
388
*Qb5-35 *Qb5-36 (610) *Qb5-37 *Qb5-38
194 610 / 2 + 59 = 364 365

Anyhow, day number 176 at tagata toki seems to be verified and the following day will then be number 17 counted from 'noon':

Qa6-24 Qa6-25 Qa6-26 (231) Qa6-27 Qa6-28 Qa6-29 (234)
174 175 (= 180 - 5) 59 + 234 / 2 = 160 + 16
Qa6-30 Qa6-31 Qa6-32 Qa6-33 Qa6-34 Qa6-35 (240)
177 = 6 * 29.5 178 179
Qa6-36 Qa6-37 Qa6-38 Qa6-39 Qa6-40 Qa6-41
180 181 182

At Qa6-26 a reversed vae kore is looking back, and we know that ordinal number 6-26 in G refers to Rogo:

Gb6-26 Gb6-27 Gb6-28 Gb7-1 Gb7-2 Gb7-3
Qa6-26 (231) Qa6-27 Qa6-28 Qa6-29 Qa6-30 Qa6-31 (236)
