1. The 7th hour ends at 07h or right ascension 7 * 60 =
420m, which according to my model means day number 420 /
1440 * 365¼ = 106.53 counted from
the present spring equinox north of the equator. In the G text
this day is probably represented by glyph number
107 (= 91 + 16):

64 + 27 = 91 at Ga1-26 probably defines the
end of the 1st quarter (from equinox) and by adding another half month it becomes
107. With 24h for a full cycle each right ascension hour corresponds
to 365¼ / 24 = 15.2 days, but in order to put each day in parallel with a glyph
it is necessary to here increase the number to 16.
