3. Evidence point at midsummer coinciding with the end of the henua calendar, and from midsummer to autumn equinox there should be 266 - 177 = 89 days:
2 * 10 = 20 could indicate Gb2-10 is the last day of the the quarter from midsummer, and Saturn at Gb2-11 should be at the cardinal point from where the 4th quarter will begin. In the relation X + Y = Z, where X is the 'father' (ure) and Y is the 'mother' (Venus), the position of 'one more' (Z) should belong to Saturn. If we count to day 266 from the geat takaure glyph in Gb3-1 we will arrive at:the the 'big man' in Ga4-1, the 1st glyph in the 7th henua period, where probably the creator of the G text has located spring equinox. Which means it will be autumn equinox north of the equator and there it will be day number 266:
Where then, is midsummer north of the equator (= winter solstice south of the equator)? Day 87 for spring equinox south of the equator is counted from winter solstice, and glyph number 87 is counted from Gb8-30:
Summer solstice north of the equator is day 172 counted from the beginning of the year, and if we wish to count from winter solstice we must add 365 - 356 = 9 days. The first 3 glyph lines on the front side seem to belong in winter, and then with line a4 comes spring for real, when light again will dominate. The approximate pattern for the cycle of Sun as measured by Moon is:
Autumn equinox should be at day 266, but here I have counted with the number of glyphs in whole lines, and 291 - 111 = 180 = 360 / 2. Interestingly there are 172 glyphs in the 6 lines for summer - equal to the distance from the beginning of the year to summer solstice north of the equator - and in order to reach 12 * 29½ = 354 the glyphs in the 6 lines for winter can be added. Summer is shorter south of the equator than north of the equator. In order to reach beyond day number 12 * 29½ = 256 + 98 (= 7 * 14) = 354 also lines b5-b8 can be used:
