1200 / 3 = 400:

Hb11-5 Hb11-6 Hb11-7 (1200) Hb11-8 Hb11-9 Hb11-10
March 12 (436) March 13 (72)
Hb11-11 Hb11-12 (1205) Hb11-13
March 14 (73)

According to G these 3 days evidently could belong together and the important date could be March 13:

Gb6-17 (400) Gb6-18 Gb6-19
March 12 (436) 13 (72) 14 (π)

In H the curve is at the top (Hb11-9) instead of at the bottom (Gb6-18) and manu rere in Hb11-13 has lost his eye. Similar curves at the top are in G at the end of side a, e.g. at the heliacal rising of Vega:

Ga8-13 (*280) Ga8-14 Ga8-15 Ga8-16
ν Pavonis (280.4) κ Cor. Austr. (280.9), θ Cor. Austr. (281.0) Vega (281.8) ζ Pavonis (283.4)
December 26 27 28 29
Qalb al Akraab 2 3 4 5

Presumably such a top curve refers to the apex of the path above. 438 = 6 / 5 * 365 and Old Sun (Jupiter) has lost his living spirit, which exits (expires) in March 14 (3-14) a week before the northern spring equinox.

Next could follow the dark days when there not yet are any new 'arms' (rima), when the ruler in the sky needs help from the 4 'sky pillars' in order to be uplifted. Raaraa in Gb6-20 means no Raa:

Gb6-20 (403)
March 15
Hb11-14 Hb11-15 Hb11-16
March 15 (74)
Gb6-21 Gb6-22 Gb6-23 Gb6-24
March 16 17 18 19
Hb11-17 Hb11-18 Hb11-19 Hb11-20 Hb11-21 Hb11-22
March 16 (75) March 17 (76)
Hb11-23 Hb11-24 Hb11-25 Hb11-26 Hb11-27 Hb11-28
March 18 (77) March 19 (78)

Our quest for the 4 'Bacabs' has here found 3 + 1 variants of kava in the H text. The last of them has no mata, but instead a great uplifted Sun symbol adorns the top of the following hau tea with Janus eyes. Hb11-28 is glyph number 1221, where 12 is reflected in the number mirror of time into 21, a Mars number according to my scheme. March 21 is defined as the day when the new Sun arrives (and 12 of course means the opposite time, when Old Sun leaves).

In Thursday (the day of Jupiter) the same kava sign is used (Hb9-45). Oaks draw lightning.

... One of the effects of drinking kava is to enhance the sensitivity of the eyes - light appears to be growing ...

To use kava glyphs in order to show where the light is about to return is obvious. HoweverI have not earlier realized such signs could be used to show 'sky proppers', because they have not been drawn consecutively in a row.

March 20 is in H (and according to my suggested dates) characterized by a triplet of niu glyphs:

Hb11-29 Hb11-30 Hb11-31 (1224)
March 20 (79)
Gb6-25 (408) Gb6-26 Gb6-27 Gb6-28
March 20 (444) 21 (80) 22 23

Rogo in Gb6-26 would in H correspond to first a pair of reversed tapa mea (red cloth), probably referring to 2 * 5 = 10 months in the past, then followed by a special manu rere, perhaps to indicate the spirit of life returning:

Hb11-32 Hb11-33 Hb11-34 (1227)
March 21 (80)
Hb11-35 Hb11-36 Hb11-37 Hb11-38 Hb11-39 Hb11-40
March 22 (81) March 23 (82)

In G the following glyphs have numbers which identify the end of the 'great fortnight' cycle

Gb7-1 Gb7-2 (413) Gb7-3
March 24 25 (84) 26 (450)
Hb11-41 Hb11-42 (1235) Hb11-43 Hb11-44 Hb11-45 Hb11-46 (1239)
March 24 (83) March 25 (84)
Hb11-47 Hb11-48 Hb11-49 (1242)
March 26 (85)
