The first glyph in line Ga7 seems to have
marked a
zero (π) date and viri
could therefore be an adequate choice for type of glyph:

Mama at Ga7-3 is located 172 days
beyond the Hyades Gate, as if this
glyph
was alluding to the northern summer solstice.
But in rongorongo times the position
had moved ahead to 236 days after 0h. 236
- 172 = 64.
Close to the Full Moon was
Tau-ono, which should indicate
how a new year was just around the
corner.
Early I became rather convinced the 5
wedge-marks inside mama
alluded to the 5 nights outside the
regular Egyptian year:
...
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.
Indeed, I relied on this assumption
so much that it served as an
inspiration for my reconstruction of
how our own Gregorian calendar
may have been compressed into the glyph text.
