Where are the viri glyphs in this structure?
They are inside the 720 glyphs which, we can guess, represent the regular year:
Also Pb5-19 belongs there:
5 * 19 = 95 is possibly indicating the difference between the number of glyphs on side a and 504. 4 * 19 = 76 (half of the shorter - 'summer' - calendar) and the added 19 may allude to the difference between 504 and 360. 72 * 5 = 360 and 76 * 5 = 380. 504 - 380 = 124 = 4 * 31. There are 7 months with 31days in our own calendar. Suppose the 'gnomon' is followed by the true midwinter mark somewhat later on in the text (as when Kb4-7 is followed by *Kb5-12, 24 glyphs later). If so, then I guess Pb6-20 could be the glyph:
825 - 363 = 462 = 14 * 33 and 825 = 25 * 33, i.e. 363 = 11 * 33. In other words 75 * 11 - 42 * 11 = 363. But there are 3 more manu kake glyphs:
Pa7-23 with a bird instead of a fish should be the opposite of Pa6-48. It is located in position 36 counted from Pa6-48, which possibly can be interpreted to mean 180 days later (2 glyphs per day and zeros implied). We are inside the 150-glyph long 'summer' calendar:
With 36 glyphs maybe representing 180 days, we can count: 150 - 2 * 36 = 78 > 2 * 36. Maybe also the 150-glyph calendar therefore has 2 yearly cycles? Indeed, we can explain 150 as 4 * 36 + 6. And 4 * 36 = 12 * 12 = 144, which - we should remember - is equal to '... 504 - 360 = 144 = 12 * 12 extra days beyond the regular 360 ...' The shorter calendar (150 - or 152 - glyphs long) is divided in two parts (each 75 glyphs long), and its 2nd half is divided into 35 and 40 - or 36 and 39 - by manu kake in Pa7-23. Pa6-48 is not counted in 35, but counted in 36:
How does it look in the 1st half?
It looks rather good, though full of question marks. Pa6-48 does not function as a mirror - we must count forward from Pa5-52 (or from Pa5-53). We notice how Pa6-8 is located as number 37 in the 1st half, while the corresponding Pa8-4 is number 74 (or rather 73, the mirror number of 37) in the 2nd half, arriving where in the 1st half we have Pa6-45. 6 * 45 = 270 in the backward looking vae kore may be significant. The hand gesture possibly indicates how fall is close. 270 is 75 % of the ordinal number 360. The strange elbow ornament in Pa6-45 looks like the (ghostly) inversion of what we see in Pa8-1, with ordinal number 434 = 14 * 31. With each day as two glyphs we get a message 7 * 31. Pa6-44 (ika hiku) has a position in the 1st half as 72 (or 73), which in the 2nd half is occupied by Pa8-3. In G and K ika hiku seem to announce the final of the year:
Pa6-44 has ordinal number 359, which also suggests that the final of the year is close. In G and K one day also seems to be equal to two glyphs. 72 or 73, we also recognize the double possibilities (due to 360 contra 365) from the earlier counting with or without Rei in the K calendar. An important possible conclusion is that the 1st half of the 'summer' calendar ends at the same point as the regular calendars of G and K. 4 * 18 (in Kb4-18) = 72, the same as the ordinal number of ika hiku in Pa6-44. With two glyphs per day we probably should read together Pa6-44--45 (even number first, odd following). The larger calendar (bluemarked below), has 1158 - 150 = 1008 glyphs, twice 504 glyphs. 504 - 360 = 144 = 4 * 36 extra glyphs beyond 360. 1008 = 8 * 36 + 2 * 360 = 288 + 720:
We 'conclude' (although we already know) that we ought to find the two additional manu kake (blue below) among those 720 glyphs:
