In order to reach 20 another 8 glyphs must then be added and the 18th glyph among the 20 is our hura glyph:
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:
There are 88 days from it to henua in Ca5-13:
Counted from the 'nut' in Ca1-26 we will reach 91 days at maitaki, counted from Ca2-1 it will be 90 days:
