Let us now try to add to the beginning of the front side 59, 64, etc days from the end of side b in order to ascertain what number of days will fit the two pare glyphs in H best.

Without any additions the following redmarked day numbers are - we have concluded - connected with the 2nd pare:

Ha5-19 Ha5-20 (236) Ha5-21 Ha5-22 Ha5-23 Ha5-24 (240)
day 79 240 / 3 = 80
290
Ha10-29 (531) Ha10-30 Ha10-31 Ha10-32 (534)
177 = 6 * 29.5 534 / 3 = 178

178 + 59 = 237 (of course - with 531 / 3 = 177 days), and day number 237 points at the beginning of the 2nd 'circle'. Given that we can rely on G where 472 / 2 = 236, though 236 is here counted without any additional days from the end of side b - excepting Gb8-30, where we can count 8 * 30 = 240 (= 10 * 24).

80 + 59 = 139 does not strike any bell, though. This fact, together with glyph number 237 at moa in Ha5-21, should make us consider the possibility of changing our focus from 80 to 79, which will result in a satisfactory 178 - 79 = 99 days as the distance to the 2nd pare glyph:

294
Ha5-19 Ha5-20 (236) Ha5-21 Ha10-30 Ha10-31 Ha10-32 (534)
79 99 = 178 - 79

Moa is a glyph type which has its proper place at the beginning of a cycle - which agrees with its glyph number (237) - and by adding 295 to 236 we will come to ariki in Ha10-29:

293
Ha5-19 Ha5-20 Ha5-21 Ha10-29 Ha10-30 Ha10-31 Ha10-32

99 days = 178 - 79, or with 59 days added from the end of side b, 99 = 237 - 138.

138 can be read as 13 combined with 8 (where 13 * 8 = 104 = 4 * 26). Spring Sun evidently is 'loosing his head' already in day 138, but it could take a further 99 days before he fades completely away.

If we add 5 further days (= 64 - 59) we will have day numbers 242 respectively 143. 2 * 42 = 84 and 14 * 3 = 42 = 84 / 2. Also with 64 days added it therefore appears to be possible to read a connection between the 'disappearance of the head' (Ha5-19--20) and pare in Ha10-31.

In the table below I have used additions with also 106 respectively 108 days, because these number of days may have determined the locations:

additional days from the end of side b: - + 59 + 64 + 106 + 108
40 99 104 146 148
79 138 143 185 187
178 237 242 284 286

59 could be the correct number of days to add, and then 168 becomes the midpoint: (99 + 237) = 168.

It may be a coincidence, but 138 = 414 / 3, where 414 is equal to 'one more' than 14 * 29.5:

Gb7-1 Gb7-2 Gb7-3 Gb7-4 (414)

Day number 414 has no mata.
