6. It feels more secure to study the glyphs than to juggle with the numbers:

*Ha7-34 *Ha7-35 (379) *Ha7-36 *Ha7-37
*Ha7-38 *Ha7-39 *Ha7-40 (384)

Vaha kai in *Ha7-35 could mean it is the end of a 'person' (and 73 * 5 = 365). The orifice is evidently widely open and ready to receive the old one. But the 'mouth' seems to belong to a person which has been turned upside down, if we can judge from the ao paddle mouth (or if we will look in a mirror):

Maybe the creator of the H text turned the head of ao (the front side) upside down because 365 (and 379) is greater than 363.
