In the calendar of K ua appears in the 22th period (during the season of the 'humpback'):
The glyph type is conspiciously absent in G. Only one obvious example is Gb4-3 on the other side of the tablet:
When ua appears in the K calendar it probably has a similar meaning as when it appears at the beginning of the orderly seasons in S and P / Q (as we just have seen). In Kb3-7 the disorderly season is shown as 'finished', i.e. presumably the same message as in ua. The period numbers (22-23 respectively 24-25) suggest the old year may be finished, and then the season of the 'humpback' probably would be the same season as new year. Kb3-2 may be another way of writing the 'Palace-Chapel':
The preceding periods (in K) indicate how the old season is ending (20) and the beginning of turnover (21):
*Kb2-16 is a repetition of *Kb2-12, with signs of spookiness (the Y-tail and the barren Y-hand), and *Kb2-17 is halfway into the 'chapel'. The double Y-signs formed by gap and hand (*Kb2-12 and *Kb2-16) are similar to number 4 and 5 in S:
Though here the spooky one comes first, not later as in K. New year maybe came rather early on Easter Island, stretching from autumn equionox during the whole black 4th quarter? In the 24th period of K it looks as if the old sun has beeen swallowed by a bird.
Later on, in the 27th period, there come signs of a return from the 'stomach', from the 'spooky' dark phase:
