The idea that the half-years
have 4 parts each is
promising, because the year
as a whole is also divided
into 4 parts by the
equinoxes and solstices. 180
/ 4 = 45 days for each such
part of a half-year. But then I remember that nature is not like that, it is a bit assymmetric: Longer summer north of the equator, shorter south of the equator. In Pachamama I could read 177 days, and in the earlier attempts at defining the half-years between the solstices the result was that 'summer' (south of the equator) is about 3 days longer than 'winter'. February is located in our winter, their summer; but also in our 'summer' and their 'winter'. This is quite paradoxical, but in a way may explain why they changed the system from equinoxes to solstices. Thereby they establised that summer is longer north of the equator and so is 'summer' south of the equator. But I want to arrive at another point: The three hashmarks across henua in Kb1-10 might be connected with those 3 days above; either as 180-177 or as 'summer' minus 'winter'.
