6. Next we should look at the glyphs close to day 240:

Gb1-6 (236) Gb1-7 Gb1-8 Gb1-9 Gb1-10 (240)

In Gb1-10 we once again can see a double haga rave sign and in its center there is a double-ringed vai. Obviously there is a head missing at right (which should reflect the eating head at left). Spring Sun (Mars) has suddenly vanished, and it looks as if he went down in Gb1-7. The design with 3 'feathers' at left and 3 at right resembles the 3 'berries' at left and 3 at right:

Eb7-9 Gb1-7

⅔ * 360 = 240 and ⅔ * 354 = 236. In the text of G both methods of counting (according to Sun respectively to Moon) apparently have been used:
