522, in turn, is equal to 18 * 29:
We can here see 20 * 29 = 580 = 58 + 522 counting from Aa8-27:
It appears rather certain that when we begin to read Tahua at the beginning of side b we will have omitted to read from the real beginning at the end of side a. Vaha kai at Aa8-42 marks half 84 (up to glyph number 1334). Though we should have 3 months at the end of side b, not only those 59 days from the generation of fire: Aa8-26 is glyph number 585 + 26 = 611 counted from Aa1-1.
Should we count with 29 days per month, the crucial glyph must be Aa7-83:
The cycle of Venus is 584 days. 12 feathers around haś and 6 hanging down maro double months, together with the henua in Aa7-82, and other signs closes the case: This is probably where we should begin to read Tahua. There are 3 months in 'hiding' (perhaps referred to by hahe glyphs), before the new ruler can appear in full glory: "... Actually, when still young, this Vogulian 'World-observing Man' - Avolokiteshvara himself, this great and worshiped deity of Buddhist countries - was, like Kullervo, a much-plagued orphan, first in the house of his uncle, then in the house of 'the Russian' and in that 'of the Samoyed'. After years of misery - quite specific 'measured' misery - he kills all his tormentors. The revenge he takes if for himself. His father, who had lowered down the beloved son from the sky in a cradle, remains aloft." (Hamlet's Mill) From this I conclude: The man who observes the whole world is the sun. When he is young he has to be inside 3 houses (i.e. he cannot be seen). Each house represents a month. His uncle owns the first month. I.e. the old one is still in rule. Then the rule of his uncle is over and he moves to the house of 'the Russian': "... in the house of 'the Russian' he is kept in the door hinge (in the English translation this and other details ar blurred to insignificance), and dishwater is emptied upon him. To be damned to play door hinge is one of the hellish punishments in Egypt, because the hinge is supposed to turn in the victim's eye ..." (Hamlet's Mill) The door hinge clearly refers to the time of Janus. If December is the month still ruled by his uncle, then January will be the house of the Russian. Moreover, drilling in the eye should mean creating new fire, i.e. quite in agreement with what we can read at the beginning of the 2nd of the 3 months at the end of side a:
But we should then continue beyond these 3 'hidden' months and begin to see the new year in March. I.e. we should see the new year at the beginning of side b.
Day number 800 should be possible to find. 800 - 664 = 136 and 136 - 90 = 46:
