Once again I find it necessary to continue with yet another page:

 
Of course we must investigate what glyph has number 150, what glyph is the last in the 2nd half (corresponding to Eb6-2):
 
1st half 2nd half
73 73 ...
Ka2-10 Kb1-11 Kb1-12
1 75 76 150

Glyph number 150 (*Kb5-11) is, however, destroyed without any trace left. We can, though, get another reward for our efforts, by coordinating the following glyph, *Kb5-12 with the 'gnomon':

ordinal numbers counted from the 2nd Rei (Ka3-15)
Kb4-6 Kb4-7 Kb4-8 Kb4-9
99 1 2 3
ordinal numbers counted from the 1st Rei (Ka2-10) ...
*Kb5-12 *Kb5-13 *Kb5-14
150 1 2 3

These two glyphs are distinguished by the strange 'feet', and the distance between them is 12 + 12 = 24 glyphs. 4 * 7 = 28 (the moon measure) and 5 * 12 = 60 (the sun measure).

In E we found three mauga glyphs related to 150, 168 respectively 186 (with 18 as difference between them). The text of K has 192 glyphs and can therefore incorporate the same structure as in E. 192 - 186 = 6 could be the 2 + 4 glyphs supposed to be outside the 'light' and 'dark' areas.

The strange 'feet' in Kb4-7 and *Kb5-12 may be vertically inverted wings like those in Kb1-12. Counting glyphs from Kb1-12 to Kb4-7 we arrive at 52:

Kb1-11 Kb1-12 Kb1-13 Kb1-14
75 1 2 3
Kb4-6 Kb4-7 Kb4-8 Kb4-9
99 52 2 3
...
*Kb5-12 *Kb5-13 *Kb5-14
150 25 2 3

With help from the table below: 3 (Kb1-12--14) + 48 + 1 = 52 and 13 + 12 = 25. 52 + 24 = 76 = 4 * 19.

Ka1 *24 *29
Ka2-1 -- Ka2-5 5
Ka2-6 -- Ka2-22 17 82
Ka3 21
Ka4 16
Ka5 14
Kb1-1 -- Kb1-14 14
Kb1-15 -- *Kb1-22 *8 *48
Kb2 *18
Kb3 16
Kb4-1 -- Kb4-6 6
Kb4-7 -- Kb4-19 13 *33
Kb5 *20
sum *192

Maybe Kb1-12 marks the beginning of the 2nd half of a glyph sequence which begins with the 1st Rei (Ka2-10) and ends with *Kb5-11. Moreover, it now appears possible that there could be another parallel pattern with twice 52 glyphs:

22 50 50 22 ...
Ka2-10 Ka3-11 Kb1-11 Kb1-12 Kb4-7 *Kb5-11 *Kb5-12
1 24 75 1 52 75 76

52 - 11 (Kb1) - 14 (Ka5) - 16 (Ka4) = 11 (Ka3). 21 (Ka3) - 11 = 10. Although the ordinal number in Ka3-11 agrees with that in Kb1-11 and *Kb5-11 I cannot see anything in the glyph design which immediately tells us we are on the right track.

50 22 50 22 ...
Ka2-10 Ka5-2 Kb1-11 Kb1-12 Kb4-7 *Kb5-11 *Kb5-12
1 52 75 1 52 75 76

This variant is better with double 'eyes' in Ka5-2 possibly indicating middle.

Maybe half the distance 52 from Kb1-12 up to and including Kb4-7 will give more clear results?

24 24 22 ...
Kb1-12 *Kb2-15 *Kb2-16 Kb4-7 *Kb5-11 *Kb5-12
1 26 27 52 75 76

In order to get Kb1-12 and Kb4-7 as end glyphs in a 52-glyph long sequence divided in two equally long halves I have been forced to define 'summer' as ending with *Kb2-15 instead of the earlier defined *Kb2-14 (cfr below where Ka4-15 has been assigned number 1).

3 (Kb1-12--14) + 8 (Kb1-15--22) = 11 and 26 - 11 = 15. An even number (52) implies two central glyphs. We recognize them. Surely the pattern is there: Kb4-7 marks the end of the 2nd half, and the beginning of the 2nd half lies at Kb1-12. Halfway through the 2nd half 'summer' ends (*Kb2-15) and the 3rd quarter is initiated with the 'humpback'.

And - we remember - there are 52 glyhs in 'summer':

23 23
Ka4-15 Ka4-16 Kb1-10 Kb1-11 Kb1-12 *Kb2-14 *Kb2-15
- 1 25 26 1 25 26

There is a break between the 1st and 2nd half years and maybe we must not count across that break:

8 14
Ka4-13 Ka4-14 Ka4-15 Ka4-16 Ka5-9 Kb1-10 Kb1-11
1 2 3 4 13 28 29
3 19
Kb1-12 Kb1-16 *Kb2-14 *Kb2-15 *Kb2-16 *Kb2-17 *Kb2-18
1 5 25 26 27 28 29

The only glyph of its type with open legs and with missing feet is Ka4-12, which therefore ought to be the last glyph in a sequence:

It is, however, also the 19th glyph counted from the 2nd Rei (Ka2-15):

1st half 2nd half  
16 16
Ka3-15 Ka4-12 Ka4-12 Ka5-13 Ka5-14
1 18 19 36 1

This indicates Ka4-12 is 'spooky' because it initiates a sequence with 18 glyphs ending with the 'sun bird' loosing his head. Possibly Ka4-13 is to be read as an explanation of how after 9 (= 2 + 3 + 4) months and 5 dark extracalendrical days it is finished.

Life returns with the vigorous mago in Ka4-14 (one line before the 'lifeless' Rei at Ka5-14). In 1 out of 5 + 5 = 10 glyph lines mago rules:

Ka4-14 Ka4-15 Ka4-16 Ka5-1
1 2 3 4
Ka5-2 Ka5-3 Ka5-4 Ka5-5
5 6 7 8
Ka5-6 Ka5-7 Ka5-8 Ka5-9
9 10 11 12
Ka5-10 Ka5-11 Ka5-12 Ka5-13
13 14 15 16
 
Ka5-14 Kb1-1
17 18

The possibilities from this approach result in:

8 14
Ka4-13 Ka4-14 Ka4-15 Ka4-16 Ka5-9 Kb1-10 Kb1-11
0 1 2 3 12 27 28
1 12 15
3 19
Kb1-12 Kb1-16 *Kb2-14 *Kb2-15 *Kb2-16 *Kb2-17
1 5 25 26 27 28

If we divide 76 (as in *Kb5-12) in half, we get 38 (= 2 * 19). Is there an ordered pattern in halves here too?

23 10 36
Kb1-12 *Kb2-14 *Kb2-15 *Kb2-16 Kb3-9 Kb3-10 *Kb5-12
1 25 26 27 38 39 76

Yes, it seems so. There is much similarity between Kb1-12 and Kb3-9. The strange 'feet' in *Kb5-12 maybe can be regarded as the inverted wings of Kb3-9 and the strange 'feet' in Kb4-7 as the inverted wings of Kb1-12.

I decide not to try to formulate any of the new ideas in yet another page in the series from the hyperlink '3rd viri'. It is becoming too complicated and we are straying away from the viri glyphs.
