Raven comes with the southern spring equinox, beginning with Alchita (α) located immediately beyond the hole (as if a fire drill had been at work):

Possibly 4 fire generators were needed for enlightening the sky properly.

... Among the multitude of gods worshipped by these people were four whom they called by the name Bacab. These were, they say, four brothers placed by God when he created the world at its four corners to sustain the heavens lest they fall ...

There are 'fire feathers' growing in front in 'September 20-21', and also in day 192 counted from the southern autumn equinox. Light is life returning.

Presumably the 4 'wilting feathers' in Gregorian day 266 refer to the end of northern summer. In K it is exceptional with a henua where the short ends not are straight. I think this type means 'earth without life' or 'winter darkness'.

In G the view is the opposite, with short ends on henua only in exceptions, and I guess Gregorian day 261 at the heliacal rising of π Virginis indicates where the Exit Door for the northern high summer is. The figure with a tall neck is running away:

The straight lines inside henua in Kb1-10 are going upwards and the position is 168 days (= 12 fortnights) from autumn equinox.

In Kb1-10, the glyph of central importance, we can interpret 11 * 0 = 'zero' as a possible allusion to 11h and to the following 'egg' (hua).
