400 days is in G presumably reached at tagata in Gb6-17:

Gb6-17 Gb6-18 Gb6-19 Gb6-20 Gb6-21 Gb6-22 Gb6-23 Gb6-24
Gb6-25 Gb6-26 Gb6-27 Gb6-28 Gb7-1 Gb7-2 Gb7-3 Gb7-4

It now seems right to rearrange these glyphs into a pattern with haś ke in its center:

Gb6-17 (400) Gb6-18 Gb6-19 Gb6-20
Gb6-21 Gb6-22 Gb6-23 Gb6-24
Gb6-25 Gb6-26 Gb6-27 Gb6-28

17 is a number which indicates the beginning of a new sequence of glyphs. And line numbers are important demarcations too. Line Gb6 is number 8 + 6 = 14, a number which we will associate with a fortnight (half 28). A 'greater fortnight' could therefore be ending in line Gb6, with Gb6-28. 6 * 28 = 12 * 14 = 168. These numbers occur also on side a (cfr at marama):

Ga6-24 Ga6-25 Ga6-26 Ga6-27 (168) Ga6-28 Ga6-29

The beginning of glyph line Gb7 evidently indicates the dark season of winter solstice:

Gb7-1 Gb7-2 Gb7-3 (1) Gb7-4
Gb7-5 Gb7-6 (4) Gb7-7
Gb7-8 Gb7-9 Gb7-10 (8) Gb7-11
Gb7-12 Gb7-13 Gb7-14 (12) Gb7-15 Gb7-16

Once again we have found haś ke to be located close to the end of an old cycle.
