Beyond day 229 from equinox comes the last glyph in the line:

The headless figure is a tagata and basically it ought to indicate a 'fully grown' cycle of time. It is the 5th day beyond the end of the henua calendar (as I have interpreted it).

Counting 41 * 9 = 369 suggests an allusion to the end of the henua calendar in day 364, in which case Kb4-19 would be at day 364 + 5 = 369.

Although the 'face' (mata) has disappeared there is a 'fist' full of promise in front. The pair of short feather marks could be there (on the fist) in order to make the reader associate to Sun. There are 2 seasons in a solar year, one when Sun is present and one when he is absent. 182 + 182 = 364.

Between the fist and the inverted henua ora there is a curved band (of light) and inside the inverted henua ora we can see a 'sky pillar' (with right side up):

From the inverted sky pillar ('black cloth' sign) in glyph 314 / 2 to Kb4-19 there is a week.

230 days from equinox a new cycle of light is due to begin. This is the region of the Wolf and ζ Lupi is the star far down:

Agena (β) and Toliman (α) in Centaurus are the great stars even further down:
