... The ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months, for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March. This intercalary month was formed by inserting 22 days after the first 23 or 24 days of February; the last five days of February, which counted down toward the start of March, became the last five days of Intercalaris. The net effect was to add 22 or 23 days to the year, forming an intercalary year of 377 or 378 days ...

.. 54 (February 23) at the end of Papa O Pea (Ga4-9, where 4 * 9 = 36) could imply the first part of such a Mensis Intercalaris would end with glyph number 92 + 22 = 114 (= 6 * 19) ...

If Pu Pakakina A Ira had been 27 - 5  = 22 nights long, then it would have ended at the March equinox, at heliacal Sirrah (α Andromedae).
