The 10th and last period of the day ends with the 36th glyph counted from the beginning of side a of Tahua. As zero has no value, 360 days for a year may be expressed as 36. After 360 days the regular year ends and harmoniously the day calender also here ends after 36. From this we might deduce that all these 36 glyphs in some way refer to the year.

Not only should the seasons of the year reflect the patterns of the day, but the opposite should also be true. Autumn equinox is compared to sundown in the evening and the rise of the sun in the morning is compared to spring equinox: life is starting anew.

The fact that after this day calendar there follows a calendar for the night should be understood to mean that the night is not the domain of the sun. The day belongs to the sun and the night to the moon.

The year, however, in a way belongs totally (except those 5 days) to the sun. Because there is no day during the year where sun is totally absent (outside the polar areas).

The night calendar which follows after Aa1-36 has 12 glyphs, which associates this night with the 12 months in a year. In a way moon also defines the year. But then we have counted each month as 30 days. If we instead count each month as having 4 weeks (just as a year has 4 cardinal points), we reach 12 * 4 * 7 = 336 days. Counting like that implies that a year has 13 months: 336 + 29 (+ a fraction) = 365 (+ a fraction).

12 (= 2*6) is a solar number, whereas 13 is a moon number (and unlucky).

Remarkably the sun appears in Aa1-35 in spite of having disappeared below the western horizon a while ago. If we use this picture, however, we will understand:

The 'season' of the 10th period is the inverse of the 'season' of the 1:st period. Sun is below the horizon, but his light is so strong that it still remains (10th period) respectively already is noticed (1:st period).

"Meshing with the 260-day count is a 'Vague Year' or Haab of 365 days, so called because the actual length of the solar year is about a quarter-day more, a circumstance that leads us to intercalate one day every four years to keep our calendar in march with the sun.

Although the Maya were perfectily aware that the Haab was shorter than the tropical year, they did not change the calendar accordingly.

Within the Haab, there were 18 named 'months' of 20 days each, with a much-dreaded interval of 5 unlucky days added at the end.

The Maya New Year started with 1 Pop, the next day being 2 Pop, etc. The final day of the month, however, carried not the coefficient 20, but a sign indicating the 'seating' of the month to follow, in line with the Maya philosophy that the influence of any particular span of time is felt before it actually begins and persists somewhat beyond its apparent termination." (The Maya)

The top middle flame of the sun is amenable to changes. In the 1st period we recognize that it has been split into two and the same goes for the 10th period. From the shape of the Y in the 1st period (limbs like winding snakes) we can draw the conclusion that this Y belongs to darkness (night still lingering), whereas the shape of Y in the 10th period signifies lingering daylight, the limbs (necks) are straight.

We can also conclude that the 1st period is female in character and the 10th male. East and morning implies birth and therefore a female is needed, males have to move to the western horizon and death.

In the Swedish language we have two words 'svärdssida' and 'spinnsida' meaning respectively 'the side of the sword' and 'the side of spinning', i.e. the male side and the female side. In English this becomes 'spear-side' and 'spindle-(distaff-)side'.

The spear is a wooden shaft and originally also swords seem to have been made by wood, i.e. sunnish in character. Wood is the dry (old) phase of evolution. Fire thrives only when the wood is dry.

To spin is to make movements opposite to straight ones. Flexibility is needed.

The double limbs of Y imply that there is a kind of double command, both spear and distaff are ruling. In the early morning spear is starting to run to take over and in the late evening there is an opposite transfer. It is a relay-race.

We can now understand why in Aa1-36 tapa mea is just as ordinary as ever:

Although slim (as in the 1st, 8th and 9th periods) - meaning lack of sunlight - the rule is lingering with the sun, just as the rule is lingering with the moon in the 1st period.

The effect of darkness is resposible for the fact that the top part of tapa mea is leaning in the same periods. The rays of the sun are oblique.

As regards Metoro's words: e tagata hakaganagana we first recognize tagata, person in singular:

That means Metoro did not see two persons. Instead he possibly said 'a split person'. Neither hakaganagana nor ganagana (nor gana) I can find in my wordlists, but the word ga is a mark of plural:

Strangely we bump into α Centauri again (= Selket, the Scorpion woman), though the claws are now canoes.

"We have already ... attempted to explain the striking phenomenon that the Bull and Pegasus, both with half-bodies only, ήμίτομοι, enclose the Ram between them, by the assumption that the latter was interposed later, when the sun at the time of the vernal equinox was in the hind parts of the Bull, so that this point was no longer sufficiently marked in the sky.

Another matter susceptible of a like explanation may be noted in the region of the sky opposite to the Ram and the Bull. Although we cannot doubt the existence of an eastern balance, still ... the Greeks have often called it χηλα`ι  'claws' (of the Scorpion), and according to what has been said above ... the sign for a constellation in the neighbourhood of our Libra reads in the Arsacid inscription 'claw(s)' of the Scorpion.

These facts are very simply explained on the supposition that the Scorpion originally extended into the region of the Balance, and that originally α and β Libræ represented the 'horns' of the Scorpion, but later on, when the autumnal equinox coincided with them, the term Balance was applied to them." (Jensen according to Lockyer)

We can compare with the Gateway of the Sun in Tiahuanaco:

The top right 'staff' is split in two parts, indicating the double rule, where darkness gradually defeats the light of the sun. Though the sun still rules, as seen from the double eagle heads, darkness has intruded (black 'henua' rectangles).

Wooden staffs stand for light and also fire (sun). The two 'necks' in Aa1-35 are equivalent to the split eagle-headed staff in the picture above. The third quarter (autumn) is characterized by lingering light.

The name Double Sword for Antares is an equivalent idea, as swords (probably) once were made by wood.
