If we cosider vaha kai as a mark
at the end of 28 periods with 13 days in
each, then the meaning probably is
connected with how in a month the light
shining on Moon will disappear after 28
nights. Beyond vaha kai in Gb5-10 there
will be days comparable to the 29th
night in a month, it will be a time
without light.
There are 31 kiore-henua-maro
periods on side a of G, which suggests we
should count on beyond 28 * 13 = 364. Saturn, the dark one,
is located in
the first of the nights without light:

|
Gb8-30 (1) |
Gb5-10 |
Gb5-11 (365) |
Gb6-20 (403) |
28 * 13 = 364 |
3 * 13 = 39 |
31 * 13 = 403 |
The extraordinary Moon day glyph Gb6-20 obviously must
be important, and we now can see the
reason why it was designed to be
eye-catching - it stands at the end of a
measure for the 'year'.
The following glyphs (cfr at haś ke)
could be dark nights for 'binding', for
instance referring to the 4 quarters:

'nose' down |

Light (the 'feather' signs) is left, at the
back. 21 in Gb6-21 is beyond the limit
set at 20 by Moon. The structure beyond
vaha kai will then be:

5 * 13 = 65 |
5 in 5 * 13 = 65 surely refers to the new
light fetched from Saturn, who needs
'one more' night to add to his odd number 39. Also Gb6-25 should belong to
him. 25 = 5 * 5 confirms this glyph
as a glyph of Saturn.
In view of all this, it is doubtful if 8 *
13 = 104 days at the beginning of side a
really can represent Waning Moon. A better choice
would be to say that they correspond to
waxing light.
Time makes a 'jump' beyond 13 * 31 = 403
days, and during these dark nights - in
the darkest of times before Sun will be
seen moving again - the mystic
regeneration of 'fire' in the sky takes place.
Rogo in Gb6-26 presumably marks the
end of winter solstice, and 14 * 29.5 =
413 (probably corresponding to the
kuhane station Tama) is where
a new Moon cycle should begin:
