In this text (H/P/Q) there is no haś in my compartment denoted c.

But in 6a there is a sequence which also is including a pair of honu:

Hb6-4 255 + 5 Hb6-6 Hb6-7 Hb6-8 Hb6-9 (264)
Pb7-44 260 + 50 Pb7-46 Pb7-47 Pb7-48 (313 = 310 + 3)

The haś in Hb6-7 is quite similar to that in Hb5-52 (250), although the number of 'feathers' is not 10 but 9:

Hb6-7 (255 + 7 = 262)

9

*60 *30
Hb4-43 (147 + 43 = 190) Hb5-52 (198 + 52 = 250) Hb6-25 (262 + 18)
10 10 9
29

Clearly one such 'feather' - significantly the 4th -

... Interestingly, since another meaning of shi is 'death', the number 4 is considered unlucky. (For example, the floor numbering in hotels sometimes jumps mysteriously from 3 to 5; it's also considered unlucky to give four of something as a present.) ...

has been lost.

This is confirmed by Hb6-25. And possibly this could have occurred at glyph number 260:

Hb6-5 (260)

As to the strange number 313 (instead of the expected 314) the reason might become clear when reading the next glyph:

Pb7-44 260 + 50 Pb7-46 Pb7-47 Pb7-48 (313) Pb7-49

Because here we can count (hia) 7 * 49 = 343 = 7 * 7 * 7 = 314 + 29. And 74 * 9 = the number of the Beast (666).

... The Beast is a figure in the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament describing an elaborate metaphor. The Beast is an animal with seven heads coming out of a sea who makes himself an enemy of the Christian Church ... The Number of the Beast is described in the Book of Revelation 13:18. From the King James translation: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six ...

But that could very well be a pure coincidence, because the Beast was a great Shape Shifter. For instance is 300 + 366 = 366.

1b - 6b 1c - 6c
170 169
Hb3-9 (109) Hb6-25 (280) Hb3-17 (117) Hb6-32 (287)
172 171
314 + 29 = 343 → 7 * 7 * 7 → 160 (June 10) + 183

... It rained for 40 days and 40 nights. 172 + 40 + 40 = 252 (*172) → 343 - 91 ...

From 252 to 666 there were 414 days → the leading star in the asterism Musca Borealis.
