12 * 14 = 168 = 7 * 24, and with Rogo in Cb7-24 a new season is being born:

Cb7-22 Cb7-23 Cb7-24 (168) Cb7-25 Cb7-26 Cb7-27
Cb8-1 Cb8-2 Cb8-3 (174) Cb8-4

His open hand in front is two glyphs later rather abruptly turned into another entity, the disc of the new sun. We can count 7 * 26 = 182 at Cb7-26. Tagata rere and Rogo exhibit opposite traits, presumably they indicate end respectively new beginning.

Saturn at Cb7-25 can similarly be imagined as 175, which could point at ihe tau at Cb8-4 (glyph number 10 counted from ihe tau at Cb7-22, where 22 / 7 can be read as 3.14).

392 (side a) + 348 (side b) = 740 glyphs in all (= 14 * 28 + 6 * 58), which number then can be reshuffled into 20 * 28 + 6 * 30 = 560 + 180.

392 + 168 (at Rogo in Cb7-24) = 560 is a fact which possibly explains why there are 8 'missing' glyphs on side a (viz. in order to reach the expected number of a cycle of 400).

We should note that this Rogo is not at winter solstice, he may instead be a symbol for the end of a 560-day long cycle. On side a the new year after winter solstice evidently comes with vai in Ca12-14 (where 12 * 14 = 168):

waning sun waxing sun
116 62
Ca8-12 (211) Ca12-12 (328) Ca12-13 Ca12-14
118 = 4 * 29.5 63
182 = 13 * 14

Because then it will be possible to count 100 days from Ca12-14 to tagata rere in Ca2-11:

waxing sun
36 139 33
Ca2-11 (100) Ca7-9 (177)
6 * 29.5 = 177
210 = 14 * 15

Clearly the vai signs serve to connect Ca12-14 with Ca2-11 (connecting the end of side a with its beginning), because only 3 of the normal 4 crescent signs are present.

Tagata rere in Ca7-9 will be number 63 + 177 = 240 counted from Ca12-14. Possibly 7 * 9 = 63 (in Ca7-9) is a reminder not to forget adding 63.

Spring sun (only 3 crescent marks, as in 3 * 60 = 180) apparently is being reborn at Ca12-14 the day after the old sun leaves. After vae comes vai. But only after 100 days does the spring sun arrive for real. Spring equinox must be passed.

 

The growing maro string in Cb7-25 is at left - growth is no longer present.

In Cb7-26 the vero sign in Cb7-25 has been turned upside down which is alluded to by the form of the body of Rogo (now moving forward we can see because he no longer has his head en face).

According to Cb8-3 the night sky (ragi) has turned bright again.
