Looking in the other
direction, forward from September 29, we can
add 192 + 13 = 205, but maybe we
should leap over glyph 193:

Several alternatives are
possible. By jumping over September 30 and
counting from October 1 it is easy to find
number 13. Manzil day 150 (half
300) coincides with October 13 (where 10-13
could be interpreted as 10 * 13 = 130). This way to
move ahead is more attractive then counting
also with Ca7-25 (where 72 * 5 = 360).
October 13 could alternatively be counted as
8 (because octo means 8) times 13 =
104. October 13 (286) - 104 = 182 (= 364 /
2). It is nice to have July 1 (182) located
8 * 13 days earlier than October 13. And
July 1 (182) + 4 * 13 = August 22 (234):

The left arm raised up in front in October 1 is
markedly longer than the corresponding arms
in the other 7 periods:
Also the neck is taller
and together with the relatively short
right arm at the back side the picture
could
illustrate growth. Possibly this place
was ruled by Venus. The star rising
heliacally was
ψ Virginis.
The 3rd figure (in glyph
177) is the last of those with front arm
leaning forward, maybe a sign for
allowing light in. The 7th figure has a
disproportionally big head and no
'pregnant belly'. It could represent the
Sun. From the possibly positions of
Venus and Sun we can then imagine
the order of the week - with Mercury
playing the double role of a broken
stick, Hatinga Te Koe:
|
Mars |
Mercury |
Mercury |
Jupiter |
|

If we then should add
another 13 days we will reach October 26, 286 +

This place has erima
marama (5 'lights'), which should
make us remember the Egyptian nights of
creation:
...
Nut, whom the Greeks sometimes
identified with Rhea, was goddess of the
sky, but it was debatable if in
historical times she was the object of a
genuine cult. She was Geb's twin sister
and, it was said, married him secretly
and against the will of Ra. Angered, Ra
had the couple brutally separated by Shu
and afterwards decreed that Nut could
not bear a child in any given month of
any year.
Thoth, Plutarch tells us, happily had
pity on her. Playing draughts with the
Moon, he won in the course of several
games a seventy-second part of the
Moon's light with which he composed five
new days.
As these five intercalated days did not
belong to the official Egyptian calendar
of three hundred and sixty days, Nut was
thus able to give birth successively to
five children: Osiris, Haroeris (Horus),
Set, Isis and Nepthys.
The June solstice is day
172 and September 29 is day 272.
Furthermore, day 372 certainly played a
significant role in the rongorongo
texts. Likewise day 472.
The first of Nut's
children could therefore correspond to day 72
(March 13), which is 8 days before day
80.
