3. In our example text the 10th glyph is niu:
 
Eb7-1 Eb7-2 Eb7-3 Eb7-4 Eb7-5
Eb7-6 Eb7-7 Eb7-8 Eb7-9 Eb7-10
 
But we should rather instead count the 'cherries', in which case 5 + 5 = 10 'red cherries' can represent the season of Sun, 10 months when sky is raised high:
 
'land'
Eb7-5 Eb7-6 Eb7-7 Eb7-8

It can be 'proven' by counting: 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 26 (the number of the Sun King). Furthermore, 7 * 26 = 182, i.e. half the year belongs to him.
