We can see that 100 days (= 178 - 78) beyond the end of the first cycle of the sun (182 days long) a pare glyph illustrates that sun is leaving, moving north 'to his winter maid': Ha5-19 Ha5-20 (236) Ha5-21 Ha5-22 (238) Ha5-23 Ha5-24 (240) 79 80 290 Ha10-29 (531) Ha10-30 (532) Ha10-31 Ha10-32 96⅔ 177 = 6 * 29.5 178 With Ha5-19--24 as 2 intercalated days at the beginning of the 2nd cycle there ought to be 3 * 180 = 540 glyphs from Ha5-25 to the end of the cycle. But instead of rushing away to premature conclusions, we should continue from day 179, where ua initiates the new season: ... Ha10-33 Ha10-34 Ha10-35 (537) Ha10-36 Ha10-37 Ha10-38 179 180 But the text is destroyed here and we cannot follow the development in detail. However, the number of destroyed glyphs can be reconstructed and then it emerges that two honu glyphs together serve to delineate the season beginning with day 179 and ending with day 244, i.e. 66 days long: 192 Ha10-33 Ha10-34 Ha10-35 (537) Hb2-31 Hb2-32 Hb2-33 (732) 179 64 244 Hb2-34 Hb2-35 (734) Hb2-36 245 The position of honu at left in Ha10-35 means its season is in the past, we have learnt from G, and reasonably its position at right in Hb2-35 means the opposite - a honu season has begun.

183 43 Ga5-10 (121) Ga6-24 (165) 18 Ga5-10 Ga5-11 Ga5-12 Ga5-13 Ga5-14 Ga5-15 Ga5-16

The beginning of a kind of honu season begins with day 245 (day 167 beyond the end of the first sun cycle): Hb2-34 Hb2-35 (734) Hb2-36 245 = 78 + 100 + 66 + 1 66 days seem to have been inserted between day 178 and day 245 by reason of 66 + 366 = 432 (the total number of days in H). Sun's 2nd cycle will be 100 + 84 = 184 glyphs long, i.e. it probably incorporates the difference between 366 and 364: 249 Hb2-34 Hb2-35 Hb2-36 (735) Hb7-29 Hb7-30 Hb7-31 (987) 84 1 In summary: 307 Hb7-29 Hb7-30 Hb7-31 Hb7-32 (4) Hb10-49 (312) 1 1⅓ 102⅓ 104 104 = 4 * 26 228 Ha1-1 (1) Ha1-2 Ha1-3 Ha5-16 Ha5-17 Ha5-18 (234) 78 = 3 * 26 Ha5-19 Ha5-20 (236) Ha5-21 Ha5-22 Ha5-23 Ha5-24 (240) 79 80 290 Ha10-29 (531) Ha10-30 Ha10-31 Ha10-32 98 192 Ha10-33 Ha10-34 Ha10-35 (537) Hb2-31 Hb2-32 Hb2-33 (732) 66 249 Hb2-34 Hb2-35 (734) Hb2-36 84 The 2nd cycle of the sun is divided in two parts. The first part is 2 + 98 = 100 days and after an inserted season with 66 days the rest will be 84 days. 100 + 84 = 184, and 182 + 184 = 366. 3 * 366 + 3 * 66 = 1098 + 198 = 1296.

We have now completed the pages in the dictionary which had the purpose of mapping the overall structure of the H text by using 'solstice honu' - the type of honu which have no legs (but with arms incorporated as part of the figure).

They are redmarked below, and constitute 9 of 24 'real' honu (in contrast to tamaiti and other glyphs which have been listed by me under honu in the glyph catalogue):

Ha1-9	Ha1-13	Ha1-22	Ha5-18	Ha7-5	Ha10-35
Hb2-2	Hb2-35	Hb3-3	Hb6-4	Hb6-6	Hb6-45
Hb7-7	Hb7-10	Hb7-13	Hb7-32	Hb7-39	Hb7-50
Hb8-114	Hb8-117	Hb8-136	Hb9-1	Hb9-2	Hb11-7

24 - 9 = 15 suggests the type without own arms could be related to the moon rather that the sun.

2 of the 9 (red below) have a sign in the background (2 respectively 1 external leg), and we can identify them as the beginnings of the two parts of the 2nd sun cycle. The legs in the background do not belong to honu.

Ha5-18	Ha10-35	Hb2-35	Hb6-45	Hb7-32
Hb8-114	Hb8-136	Hb9-1	Hb11-7

The structure of H expressed in a table of days as distributed over side a and b:

Quite possibly 178 on side a indicates that the summer 'half' of the year south of the equator is shorter than the winter 'half'.

The redmarked 66 days lie in the center of the calendar, with one leg in 'summer' and one in 'winter'. 38 * 3 = 114 = 4 * 28.5 and 28 * 3 = 84 or 3 months counted half a day shorter than the 4 months on side a.
