November 25 (where we can count 92 * 5 = 460) is 182 days later than May 27 (where we can count 52 * 7 = 364):

The vertical arrays with 4 rhombs could perhaps represent the 4 quarters of the year. In Ca9-21 the bottom rhomb is special and this 'head' could perhaps refer back to Ca1-26 (in April 16). November 25 (329) - April 16 (106) = 223 (= 193 + 30). It suggests the day before a new season is beginning.

In Ca9-22 reversals are exhibited. The bottom rhombs have no 'eyes' and the top 2 rhombs have their at left. The 'arm' joins the 2nd rhomb from the bottom, not the 2nd from the top.

November 25 (Syrma 20) is day 193 counted from Sheratan 1. But the star Sheratan (β Arietis) rose heliacally in the same day as Polaris (April 17) and 27 days after the March equinox. 80 + 27 = 107.

Then we could count 107 + 193 = 300, i.e. there are 300 days from January 1 up to and including October 27 (300).

There is a month from the heliacal rising of Sheratan and Polaris to the date Sheratan 1, i.e. 137 - 107 = 30. Thus November 25 (329) = 136 (May 16) + 193 = 107 (April 17) + 222.

Considering the character of number 193 we can expect a break in time between Ca9-21 and Ca9-22. For instance is Ca7-25 (where we can count 72 * 5 = 360) glyph 193 (and 8 weeks earlier than Ca9-21):

October maybe corresponds to the Easter Island first month Tua haro, where haro, 'to raise the arm', could motivate the special arm in front in Ca7-26.

Line Ca10 is preceded by a further 5 glyphs at the end of line Ca9 and these could reflect the days which north of the equator cover the end of May and the beginning of June:

Then follow the glyphs in line Ca10, with first a triplet and then a structure of a more complex kind, with what could be 10 sequences of days. These sequences are stretching all the way through not only line Ca10 but also line Ca11 and a bit into line Ca12. Maybe it means this is a kind of Sun calendar to be contrasted with the previous Moon calendar.
