Qa6-41 Qa6-42 Qa6-43 Qa6-44 *Qa6-45 (250)

There is much food for thought here. At *Qa6-45 the text is disappearing, hardly a coincidence because of the ordinal number (and 6 * 45 = 270).

250 / 2 + 64 = day 189, one week beyond day 182 = 364 / 2. One week is also measured out by tagata lifting both hands:

Qa6-26 Qa6-27 (232) Qa6-28 Qa6-29 Qa6-40 Qa6-41 (246) Qa6-42 Qa6-43
232 / 2 + 64 = 180 181 5 187 188

The special henua type in Qa6-42 we recognize from the day of Saturn, and 6-43 is there reversed into 436:

Hb9-51 Hb9-52 Hb9-53 (1113) Hb9-54 Hb9-55 Hb9-56
(1113 - 3) / 3 + 64 = 434 435
Hb9-54 Hb9-55 Hb9-56 Hb9-57 (1117) Hb9-58 Hb9-58
435 436 (= 368 + 68)

A close scrutiny reveals that Qa6-42 seems to be turned upside down compared with Hb9-57:

Qa6-42 Hb9-57

6 * 42 = 7 * 36 (as we know from the discussion of the 7th flame of the sun).

9 * 53 = 513 we also recognize:

415 627
Pa3-3 Pa10-1
115 531
416 = 16 * 26 628 = 200π
290
Ha10-29 (531) Ha10-30 Ha10-31 Ha10-32

531 = 18 * 29.5, another final measure for the sun. If we count with 2 glyphs per day 531 will point at Te Pou. And with 3 glyphs per day 531 will be 177 days, half 354. 531 must be an important constant for calendar makers.

The only somewhat similar henua of this irregular type is *Qa2-19, and significantly it has ordinal number 42:

*Qa2-16 *Qa2-17 *Qa2-18 *Qa2-19 (42) *Qa2-20 *Qa2-21
84 42 / 2 + 64 = 85 86

368 + 85 = 453. If we count with 369, it will be 454, which we can read as 45 * 4 = 180. Or maybe we should count 4 * 54 = 216? At any rate, 144 + 225 = 369 is - it appears - a necessity.
