The suit of 4 glyphs at the
beginning are not the 4 'Bacabs'. Only 2 of them are present,
and they are hidden in the ground (Mercury and Saturn):

 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Ka1-1 |
Ka1-2 |
Ka1-3 |
Ka1-4 |
Ka1-5 |
Ka1-6 |
Moon and Mars (female respectively
male) are located in that order as 'Bacab pillars' in the
east (spring). Mercury and Jupiter ('female' respective male) are
located in that order as pillars in the west (autumn).
We can read that Mercury and
Jupiter are buried at the beginning of the new calendar cycle. Autumn
is in the past. They are not present for real, they can be seen only
in our memory.
The following Venus and Saturn are not present
for real either. Sun is envisoned as alighted at Ka1-5 and
Moon consequently is drawn as illuminated from Ka1-6.
So Venus is not at the beginning of
the week, Sun is. In my 7-day week chart for the
nights of the month, however, she has first position:

It means that day 1
of the calendar round according to H should coincide with
day number 3 of the month, and that day number 1 should
belong to 'hilled up' Mercury:

Koti at
Hb9-36 refers not only to the disorderly orbit of
Mercury, when (s)he most of the time is hidden from
view, but also - and foremost - to Mercury's
position as last day of the year, where the
flow of time is cut off (Hatinga Te Kohe).
If you bend a
branch until it breaks, the break surely will be
somewhere in its middle.
