30 29 (28)
29 + 28 + 2 = 59

In the 4th period I have suggested that the Easter Islanders might have had 4 nights one month and 3 nights in the next in accordance with the results received when comparing Mamari with Keiti → 4 (3) → 28 (27).

I remember that the Gilbertese counted only to 20. That fits well with 11 + 9 = 20.
