Once again, the end comes with Saturn. Therefore we should find him twice in a calendar for the year, because as when a fortnight has two weeks (and two Saturdays) so a year has two halves. 26 as ordinal number in a glyph line indicates the sun. 25 should therefore be Saturn - the square of fire which is needed. But 26 will then not be the last station of the ruling sun king but the first of sun, a newly 'hatched' fire. We should remember the 'parallel' number 16 for the moon in Ga8-16:
In Ga8-25 a blackened henua agrees with the position of Saturn. Ga8-24 is a hanau glyph, appropriate for Venus. Ga8-16 is at Thursday, likewise haś in Ga8-23. Sun will - according to this measure of the week - have 26, 19, 12, and day 5. Jupiter will have 23, 16, 9, and day 2. Let us concentrate, for a moment, on day 26. Rogo at Gb6-26 must be either day number 1 or day number zero, if Saturn has the final. Ga8-26 seems to be at day zero, maybe because all 26 'fingers' have run out. 10 * 26 = 260 could be the result of discarding all the black Saturdays. 6 / 7 * (64 + 230) = 257.14. 8 * 26 = 16 * 13 and 6 * 26 = 12 * 13:
Number 2 is secured for Jupiter, as I predicted! Saturn has both beginning and end in an 8-fold sequence. Sun becomes associated with Jupiter and Moon with Venus:
In a quarter there should be 91 days in order to be able to count to 13 weeks, but that will shift the ruler 1 position forward:
In order to maintain Saturn at Ga1-25 (the square of 5) and Sun at Ga1-26 there must be 91 days from Gb6-26 to Ga1-26. But we have counted Gb8-30 twice already. Saturn should be at Gb8-30. If so, then Gb6-26 must be at Venus, a solution which is supported by H:
Sun will appropriately be at the first glyph on the front side, in which case gagana should be ruled by Jupiter:
But that cannot be so, because Jupiter should have day number 16, in which case Ga1-18 must be Saturn (which I have suggested in the glyph dictionary). Maybe the 4 first glyphs on side a are special:
