The faces of our oldfashioned (non-digital) clocks do not show the figure 0. The counting begins with 1. I suggest that the 'egg' inside the fat bird in the 24th period equally well can be called a 'zero':
We have passed beyond the final 23th period:
The new 'land' (henua) has - according to the numerical fancies in our table - 2 groups of triplets:
The 30th period has a special end glyph and thereby marks 'outside':
We should notice the resemblance between Kb4-15 and Ka5-8:
Both glyphs are standing at the beginning of a new season. 11 is one more than 10 (final sun) and 30 one more than 29 (final moon). The glyph type is hakaua. In the K calendar we have another example at the beginning of line b3:
Both period 22 and period 11 are located at the center of their triplets, 21-23 respectively 10-12. Is there a triplet of periods 29-31 too?
108 = 6 * 18 and a heavy mythic number, as we have learnt earlier. Immediately following the vero period there probably are yet two hakaua glyphs (though with additional signs):
The glyph number *60 certainly is important, also the fact that a new line (b2) is beginning. We can infer that Kb2-2 is to be read together with Kb2-1 and there appears to be a general pattern worthy of documenting:
The meaning of hakaua seems to be a kind of seasonal marker. Hakauaua means to mark with lines. Hatchmarks across henua we have early understood to mean 'dark'. The special marks in Kb2-2 and Kb4-17 ought to mean something else. Perhaps in period 18, when the old season has fallen on its face, when the balance has tipped over to darkness, it is the movement of the balance that is suggested. In Kb4-17 yet another imbalance - now towards light, presumably - is meant. The marks are inside a 'zero' oval. If so, then period 31 initiates the season beyond winter solstice:
