The mauga pu type of glyph appears first in November 19 and Metoro may have meant we should count from there (hia):

Counting from koia kua oho (the one who leaves) in November 7 (where 9 * 7 = 63) there are 25 + 27 = 52 glyphs up to and including mauga pu in Ca10-27.

Mauga pu in Ca9-15 is at Sheratan 5 and 4h (in the nakshatra perspective). The other mauga pu with a 'Janus' face (mata) arrives in Ca10-27. Its position is 39 days later, which possibly means there are 3 'manzil periods' from the one to the other. However, I think we should primarily count 40 nights from Ca9-15 up to and including Ca10-27. Al Thuraya (Sheratan, Pleione, and Albatain) 'carries' 40 nights (= 14 + 2 * 13) and 243 (Ca9-15) + 13 = 256 (= 16 * 16):

The second mauga pu could represent the last night of 40. The counting (hia) could end with December 28 (362) when Sun reached Vega. The corresponding nakshatra date was June 29 (180) and the next night Moon would reach Sirius. 180 - 40 = 140 (May 20):

May 20 (140 = 180 - 40) is 60 days after March 21 and just before 4h (in the heliacal perspective). By adding 183 days we will reach the nakshatra night 140 + 183 = 323 (November 19), 4 days before 'the place of breaking' (te koti-ga) where Sun reached Hyadum I and my list has no star for Moon.

This seems to agree with how in G the Hyadum pair is broken so as one piece is at the end of the back side and the other at the beginning of the front side of the text:
