4. The 5 missing double rings on the Pachamama skirt, equal in number to 364 / 2 - 177, maybe never were there, if we will judge from how the creator of the H text used the physical limits of his tablet to his advantage:
From Ha6-16 only the top of the glyphs are visible, then they disappear totally to return with only the bottom visible. This could be a sign to show how the sky half of the year ends and the bottom half will follow after a 5-day break. Hakaua in *Ha6-26 says rain is coming. The preceding tagata is glyph number 300 counted from Ha1-1 given that we include also the missing 5 glyphs in our counting. Furthermore, 62 * 5 (in *Ha6-25) = 310 could indicate we should add 10 more days. If we use this as a cue and move to the text of G, we will indeed find support for adding another 10 days, because the following 8 + 8 glyphs certainly constitute a unit:
Although a new glyph line comes with Gb7-1 the last glyph in the preceding line (Mars in Gb6-28) should be followed by a Mercury glyph. The change from line Gb6 to line Gb7 thus proceeds with as little disturbance as possible. By adding 10 more days to 300 - which is the result if we count from Rogo in Gb6-26 - glyph number 399 must be from where to begin the counting:
In other words, we have at least 3 different alterantives to count to the central event of the year, when rain will come:
