The link 'more numerical clues relating to these two hahe glyphs' leads first to these two pages:

 

Following earlier suggestions (cfr at vaha kai) it is possible to arrange the 42 first glyphs of Y into a pattern with 18 + 18 + 6 glyphs:

18 15 3
Ya3-5 Ya3-6 Ya3-7 Yb3-1 Yb3-2 Yb3-3
36 6
42

If we then rearrange the pattern so 6 will come at the beginning, we will have Ya1-3 as number 9:

Yb3-1 Yb3-2 Yb3-3 Yb3-4 Yb3-5 Yb3-6
Ya1-1 Ya1-2 Ya1-3 (9) Ya1-4 Ya1-5 Ya1-6

It is then possible to assemble another pattern:

20 16
Yb3-1 (1) Yb3-2 Yb3-3 Yb3-4 Ya3-5 Ya3-6
24 = 3 * 8 18 = 3 * 6
42 = 3 * 14

From winter solstice (possibly at Yb3-1) there are 240 days to the end of high summer (possibly at Ya3-5) which will give us 10 days per glyph.

And hahe in Ya1-3 will then be located at the end of the first quarter (of 360 days). Then follows a pure glyph, maybe in order to show how 'life' has disappeared - presumably of the old year. At 100 days there is a Rei (Ya1-5), maybe to indicate the beginning of the 2nd quarter (of 400 days). The new year seems to be born (Yb3-2--3) before the old year is going away (Ya1-3--4).

5
Yb3-1 Yb3-2 Yb3-3 Ya1-3 Ya1-4 Ya1-5
'birth' 'death'

 

 

Although the 42 first glyphs of Y now have been perceived as 24 + 18, it was earlier (cfr at vaha kai) noted a symmetry with 21 + 21 = 42:

I II III
Ya Yb Sum Yc Yd Sum Ye Yf Sum
6 7 13 10 8 18 4 4 8
8 8 16 6 - 6 6 4 10
7 6 13 16 8 24 10 8 18
21 21 42 42 + 24 + 18 = 84

The arrangment in 24 + 18 = 42 glyphs for the two following calendars (II and III) has now become even more a sign of a total design consisting of 84 glyphs.

Hahe in Ya1-3 is at the beginning of calendar I:

Yb3-1 Yb3-2 Yb3-3 Yb3-4 Yb3-5 Yb3-6
'birth'
Ya1-1 Ya1-2 Ya1-3 Ya1-4 Ya1-5
'death'

... And the statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept in each man's home and regarded as gods, were all cast into the water. Also (were) these (cast away) - the pestles and the (three) hearth stones (upon which the cooking pots rested); and everywhere there was much sweeping - there was sweeping very clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in any of the houses ...

If these Mayan ideas were similar to those on Easter Island, then we can expect the old was swept away before a 'new dawn' could be generated (Rei at Ya1-5). The old year is in the background and 'falling on its face' (Ya1-3).

 

4 glyphs for 'birth' (Yb3-1--4) and 4 glyphs for 'death' (Ya1-1--4) could be regarded as the 'dog watches'. And Venus comes before Saturn:

First Middle Morning Forenoon Afternoon Dog 1 Dog 2
Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn
'new year' 'old year'

With Rei in Ya1-5 at the beginning of the 'new year' it is reasonable to regard Yb3-5--6 as the end of the 'old year':

Yb3-1 Yb3-2 Yb3-3 Yb3-4
'birth'
Yb3-5 Yb3-6 Ya1-1 Ya1-2 Ya1-3 Ya1-4
'death'

Maybe they depict the gods of wood respectively stone which were thrown into the water. The pestles and the 3 hearth stones could be in Ya1-1. What are pestles if not fire generators (flame creators)?

The old year could be also at left in Ya1-2, because he seems to have been eating feebly and his toes has changed into fins. Night had arrived (ragi at right).
