 As we already have realized there ought to have been a relationship between this pair of glyphs because they resemble each other:
In order to see whether there are more glyphs in the E text, resembling the pair above, it is easy to look in my glyph catalogue: At GD53 and the E text we will find these glyphs:
Due to their size I have judged there is no more of this kind, indeed Ea7-16 seems to be more related to Ea7-20 than any of the other glyphs listed above.
My colour for 16 must be that for Jupiter, because Thursday comes a day before Venus and Friday. I had found it impracticsal to have 7 colours, which explains why Ea7-20 is coloured blue too, in spite of the fact that Monday comes 4 days after Thursday. Notably we can count the distance from July 5 to November 18 as *4 + *132 = *136, which 'happens to' coincide with the day number for May 16, when the bright star Alcyone in the Pleiades rose together with the Sun.
... The correspondence between the winter solstice and the kali'i rite of the Makahiki is arrived at as follows: ideally, the second ceremony of 'breaking the coconut', when the priests assemble at the temple to spot the rising of the Pleiades, coincides with the full moon (Hua tapu) of the twelfth lunar month (Welehu). In the latter eighteenth century, the Pleiades appear at sunset on 18 November. Ten days later (28 November), the Lono effigy sets off on its circuit, which lasts twenty-three days, thus bringing the god back for the climactic battle with the king on 21 December, the solstice (= Hawaiian 16 Makali'i). The correspondence is 'ideal' and only rarely achieved, since it depends on the coincidence of the full moon and the crepuscular rising of the Pleiades ... There were 4 right ascension days from ºNovember 18 to November 18, corresponding to the distance from July 5 (my birthday) and July 9.
