When drawing a map it is valuable to have a grid of coordinates. In G such a grid is possible to draw with the aid of the first 16 of the kuhane stations described in Manuscript E, and by using a measure of 29.5 glyphs (= days). The text ends at glyph number 471 (= 16 * 29.5 - 1), at the end of One Tea. Where moon is cut-off abruptly, in her journey from west to east, having reached her limit on the island.

In the shorter K text there are 192 glyphs (= 472 - 10 * 28). A grid drawn by using a measure of 28 does not fit perfectly, though, because 6 * 28 = 168, which is less than 192 (and 7 * 28 = 196 is too much).

196 - 192 = 4 shows there may be a possibility, however, to use 28 up to the end of the text. Because 4 = 364 - 360, and at the beginning of the season of Uri (Ka3-14, alluding to 3.14) we can recognize a numerical pattern used at the end of the year (in G), which suggests sun has 10 * 30 = 300 days (with the calendar beginning 60 days before sun arrives):

In the 12th kuhane station Hatinga Te Kohe (beginning at 12 * 29.5 = 354) the end of the solar year arrives. By some reason, though, the counting begins with the last glyph on side b (Gb8-30) to reach 360 at tagata (in Gb5-6). Using the 29.5 grid and counting from Ga1-1 the numbers are offset by 1:

Gb4-33	Gb5-1	Gb5-2	Gb5-3	Gb5-4
353	354	355	356	357
Gb5-5	Gb5-6	Gb5-7	Gb5-8	Gb5-9
358	359	360	361	362
Gb5-10	Gb5-11	Gb5-12
363	364	365

Probably the reason is that 364 = 13 * 28, an indication that 28 should be used as a measure. With 28 as a measure we will reach 6 * 28 = 168 at Kb4-15, and it may be that we should add 4 also here:

 

Ga7-11 (180)	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14	Ga7-15
Kb4-15 (168)	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18	Kb4-19

Therefore, 192 = 7 * 28 - 4 is not an impossible equation, and a grid based on 28 should be tried for K.

We have already tried with a grid based on 16 * 12 = 192:

1
		10		...	10
	Ka1-1		Ka1-12	*Ka1-13		*Ka1-24
2		10			10
	Ka2-1 (25)		Ka2-12 (36)	Ka2-13		Ka3-2 (48)
3		10			10
	Ka3-3 (49)		Ka3-14 (60)	Ka3-15		Ka4-5 (72)
4		10			10
	Ka4-6 (73)		Ka5-1 (84)	Ka5-2		Ka5-13 (96)
5		10			10
	Ka5-14 (97)		Kb1-11 (108)	Kb1-12		Kb2-1 (120)
6		10			10
	Kb2-2 (121)		*Kb2-13 (132)	*Kb2-14		Kb3-7 (144)
7		10			10
	Kb3-8 (145)		Kb4-3 (156)	Kb4-4		Kb4-15 (168)
8		10	...		10
	Kb4-16 (169)		*Kb5-8 (180)	*Kb5-9		*Kb5-20 (192)

At 169 (= 13 * 13) an ika hiku (tail fish) glyph determines Kb4-15 at 168 (= 14 * 12) to be the last glyph of the regular calendar. Then comes glyphs (and numbers fetched from the parallel G text and the kuhane station Nga Kope Ririva beginning at 177) which indicate kiore (sun) no longer has any contact with henua (the island proper):

	6			14
Kb4-16 (169)		*Kb5-4 (176)	*Kb5-5		*Kb5-20 (192)
8			16
24 = 3 * 8

Ga7-5	Ga7-6	Ga7-7 (176)	Ga7-8	Ga7-9	Ga7-10
Ga7-11 (180)	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14	Ga7-15	Ga7-16 (185)

It suggests we should try also with a grid measured by 8.

8 * 24 = 192 = 3 * 64 = 3 * (8 * 8).

It also suggests that the text of K is not insensitive to the kuhane stations. And, indeed, 29.5 * 6.5 = 191.75 = 383.5 / 2.

The task of laying out a grid over the text of K proves to be complex. In addition to 16 * 12 = 192 we can use the kuhane measure of 29.5, the system with 8 glyph groups (8 * 24 = 192), and also the measure 28 (where 192 = 7 * 28 - 4). And possibly even more alternatives. The hint from Ga7-14 at 183 = 6 * 30.5 should not be missed, nor 6 * 30 = 180 at Ga7-11.
