The map of side b as we have structured it earlier should be continued to the end of the side:

		258			258
Ab1-1	Ab1-2		Ab4-17	Ab4-18		Ab7-25	Ab7-26
1	2		261	1		260	261
day 1		129	day 131		129	day 261

In the middle of 261 dark nights niu ends the first half and then comes moe, a sign of a new light at the horizon in the east. 1334 - 261 = 1073 = 29 * 37. 1037 can be read as 10 (twice 5, sun) and 73 (= 365 / 5). Maybe these 261 glyphs at the beginning of side b represent the dark season at the origin of cosmos. Then land (light, life) is created. The shape of Ab4-18 resembles that of the Beast (Aa6-66), which probably has a cosmic meaning.

		48
Ab7-27 (523)	Ab7-28	48	Ab7-77	Ab7-78
day 1		24	day 26

Ab7-79 (575)	Ab7-80	2	Ab7-83	Ab7-84
*day 261 + 26 + 1 = 288 = 8 36**		1	*day 290 = 10 29**
		8
Ab8-1 (581)	Ab8-2	8	Ab8-11	Ab8-12 (592)
day 291 (= 261 + 30)		4	day 296
		2
Ab8-13 (593)	Ab8-14	2	Ab8-17	Ab8-18 (598)
day 297		1	day 299

Ab8-19 (599)	Ab8-20
day 300

		60
Ab8-21	Ab8-22	60	Ab8-83	Ab8-84 (664)
day 261 + 26 + 13 + 1 = 301		30	day 332

We have come a far way from the beginning of the investigation of the hand gesture with thumb at left:

		37		323		260
	Aa1-48		Aa1-86		Aa5-77 (410)
86				*324 = 9 36**
441		167		52		1
	Ab6-38 (1112)		Ab8-30 (1280)		Ab8-83 (1333)
442		*168 = 6 28**		54

Ab8-83 we have documented in our last map, but not Ab8-30:

		6			52
Ab8-21 (601)	Ab8-22	6	Ab8-29	Ab8-30 (610)	52	Ab8-83	Ab8-84 (664)
day 261 + 26 + 13 + 1 = 301		3	day 305		26	day 332

It breaks the 60 glyph long sequence into 8 + 52 glyphs (4 + 26 days).

Ab6-38 should also be included, and it comes 180 glyphs beyond Ab4-18:

		178			78
Ab4-17 (261)	Ab4-18	178	Ab6-37	Ab6-38 (442)	78	Ab7-25	Ab7-26 (522)
day 131		89	day 221 = 131 + 90		39	day 261

131 + 90 = 221 and 221 + 40 = 261.
