In order to reach 20 another 8 glyphs must then be added and the 18th glyph among the 20 is our hura glyph:

Ca5-9 Ca5-10 Ca5-11
Ca5-12 Ca5-13 Ca5-14 Ca5-15 Ca5-16

The hura day is connected with Mars and in the following 'fire bird' we can imagine the 'new fire' rising in the sky.

Manu rere hetuu (Ca5-15) is glyph number 120 on side a, and because 5 * 15 = 75 = 300 / 4 we can guess the time could be spring equinox, the time when the 'fire bird' (Sun) returns to make summer. Maybe he will stay for 7 months, because there are 7 'feathers' at right in Ca5-16. With those 6 at left we can count for instance to 364 / 13 = 28 and 7 * 28 = 196. Number 169 is similar to 196 and 169 + 196 = 365, i.e. 13 * 13 + 7 * 28 = 365.

Saturn in Ca5-11 has a great marama formed like the waning moon. Saturday is the last day in a week and therefore I have separated Ca5-9--11 from Ca5-12--16.

Monday (Ca5-13) is glyph number 4 * 29.5 = 118 (= 472 / 4). We can compare with the great 'midnight' henua in day 30:

Ca1-19 Ca1-20 Ca1-21 Ca1-22 Ca1-23 Ca1-24 Ca1-25
Ca1-26 Ca2-1 Ca2-2 Ca2-3 Ca2-4 Ca2-5 Ca2-6 (32)

There are 88 days from it to henua in Ca5-13:

84
Ca2-4 (30) Ca2-5 Ca2-6 Ca5-12 Ca5-13
88

Counted from the 'nut' in Ca1-26 we will reach 91 days at maitaki, counted from Ca2-1 it will be 90 days:

89
Ca1-26 Ca2-1 Ca5-12 (117)
91 (= 7 * 13)
