I believe time in the K calendar was measured in weeks:

		10			*10
Ka5-8	Ka5-9		Kb1-6	Kb1-7		*Kb1-19	*Kb1-20
1	2		13	14		*25	*26
high summer (26 glyphs)
13 weeks = 91 days = a quarter)

26 is an even number, i.e. there must be a pair of glyphs in the center. Symmetry demands *Kb1-19 to pair up with *Kb1-20 rather than with the following mauga (darkness) in *Kb1-21:

17
17	*Kb1-20	*Kb1-20	*Kb1-20

In the repeated constellation 'king' + henua the mutilated *Kb1-19 probably is 'king':

		*22			*20			11
Ka5-8	Ka5-9		*Kb1-19	*Kb1-20		Kb3-1	Kb3-2		Kb3-14	Kb3-15
1	2		*25	*26		*47	*48		*60	*61

Comparing with the parallel G text we find, though, evidence of a pair of 'kings' (redmarked) at this time of the year:


Ga5-10		Ga5-11	Ga5-12	Ga5-13	Ga5-14	Ga5-15	Ga5-16
					...
Kb1-12	Kb1-13	Kb1-14	Kb1-15	Kb1-16	...		*Kb1-19*

We presumably should add Kb1-15--16 to the 'king list'. And later on follows more 'kings'+henua:


Ga5-22	Ga5-23	Ga5-24	Ga5-25	Ga5-26	Ga5-27	Ga5-28	Ga5-29
				...		-
Kb2-1	Kb2-2	Kb2-3	Kb2-4	...	*Kb2-6	-	*Kb2-7

We must try to create a 'king list'. Apparently, honu glyphs can be identified with the 'king'. I have listed, in´the glyph catalogue, the following 10 blue glyphs as variants of honu in the K text. Now I have added (red) 2 possible candidates:


Ka4-6	Ka5-8	Kb1-8	Kb1-12	Kb1-15	*Kb1-19

Kb2-1	Kb2-4	Kb3-1	Kb3-14	Kb4-15	Kb4-17

Although they are similar we must not forget the details, e.g.: Ka5-8 and Kb4-15 belong together (possibly with Kb3-1) and Kb1-8 belongs together with Kb3-14 (possibly with Kb1-12).

The 'king list' ought to have determinants which always follow (female characters):


Ka4-6	Ka4-7	Ka5-8	Ka5-9	Kb1-8	Kb1-9

Kb1-12	Kb1-13	Kb1-15	Kb1-16	*Kb1-19	Kb1-20
			...
Kb2-1	Kb2-2	Kb2-4	*Kb2-5	Kb3-1	Kb3-2

Kb3-14	Kb3-15	Kb4-15	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18

The compound glyph type maitaki+tao appears three times in the 'king list', probably because it is associated with honu. In K I have found 10 maitaki glyphs. Only 3 of these are compounds with tao (redmarked) - and all are in the 'king list':


Ka1-202	Ka1-205	Ka4-5	Ka4-8	Kb1-9	Kb1-13

Kb4-10	Kb4-13	Kb4-18	Kb5-304

Ka1-202 and Kb4-10 are insted compounds with marama. Kb1-9 together with Kb1-13 tell about an inversion in between, probably connected with Rei, later on the opposite inversion occurs, bringing light (life) back again:


Kb1-9	Kb1-10	Kb1-11	Kb1-12	Kb1-13

Kb4-15	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18	Kb4-19
