In the 22nd period, at the other end of the calendar (though still at the end of the old year), we have a real ('living') ragi:

22
22	Eb5-21	Eb5-22	Eb5-23	Eb5-24
23
23	Eb5-25	Eb5-26	Eb5-27	Eb5-28

These two periods have identical 'end-of-period' glyphs (Eb5-24 and Eb5-28) showing that the periods belong together. The 23 period connects to the last periods in the G and K calendars for the year, indicating the darkest time of the year.

32
32	Ga7-11	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14
30
30	Kb4-15	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18
23
23	Eb5-25	Eb5-26	Eb5-27	Eb5-28

Naturally, we now would like to compare the immediately preceding periods in the three calendars:

31
31	Ga7-5	Ga7-6	Ga7-7	Ga7-8	Ga7-9	Ga7-10
29
29	Kb4-10	Kb4-11	Kb4-12	Kb4-13		Kb4-14
22
22	Eb5-21	Eb5-22	Eb5-23	Eb5-24

The strange Eb5-21, with one hand as head and another at a more natural place, presumably means something similar to what we can see in Ga7-5 and Kb4-10 (where the 'hands' look like wings).

We have earlier, when discussing the end of the G and K calendars, noticed similarities between the 24th period of E and the glyphs immediately preceding the G and K calendars and we can now add period 22 in E:

0				4 + 3 + 3 = 10 fingers held high in all three calendars.
0	Ga2-24	Ga2-25	Ga2-26
0
0	Ka3-12	Ka3-13	Ka3-14
24
24	Eb6-1	Eb6-2	Eb6-3
22
22	Eb5-21	Eb5-22	Eb5-23	Eb5-24

Fingers mean fire, and at the bottom in Eb5-23 it is, therefore, maybe possible to read fire, ahi.

We must also point at the similarity between Eb5-23 and Ga7-19:

22
22	Eb5-21	Eb5-22	Eb5-23	Eb5-24
33				Kb4-19
33	Ga7-15	Ga7-16	Ga7-17
34
34	Ga7-18	Ga7-19	Ga7-20
The glyphs in K are badly damaged, but we should remember Kb4-19 (similar to parts from Ga7-15 and Ga7-20, glyphs which obviously belong together) - in which we have a unique 'reversed' henua ora.

Though the 5 flames in Eb5-23 (6 if ragi is counted) - contrary to the 4 flames in Ga7-19 (5 if the top part is counted) - indicate different statements.

Is Eb5-23 demonstrating the power of sun to lift up the sky? 23 and 19 are odd numbers, 19 probably referring to the death of the sun. Maybe 23, then, also is a final number, and Eb5-23 illustrates how from the smouldering remnants of old sun a sky roof is being furnished (furnaced) with stars?
