Ga6-6 indicates the first day of the regular solar year, and 112 is a number equal to 4 * 28 nights:
Once again we have located a calendar. According to this calendar the solar year expires at Ga2-3:
To accomodate the 360-day long calendar among the other - and presumably major ones, like the 260-day calendar and the moon-based counting by multiples of 29.5 - a special group of 12 glyphs apparently puts Ga2-3 in its proper place. 6 glyphs earlier a spectral midnight henua stands at Hatinga Te Kohe, beyond which comes Te Piringa Aniva:
Ga6-6 indicates the beginning of the new year:
Here our new solar calendar is integrated with how in the parallel K text a twice 26-glyph long sequence is ending:
There are 30 glyphs in line Ga5 and Ga6-6 therefore comes 30 glyphs later than Ga5-6:
5 means (new) 'fire'. We should look at Sunday:
The week belongs to the moon, i.e. to the night. Therefore, presumably, henua at the beginning of each day are incised with black lines across. The bottom of the dark henua at the beginning of Sunday is sloping upwards, i.e. the vertical distance is diminishing - possibly because sun will bring light. During the night sun is not visible. Therefore sun cannot be seen in Sunday. But he is real, not a 'ghost'. He is on the other side of the earth. Moe, at the end of sun's night journey, does not mean he is sleepy. Instead the glyph shape illustrates the beginning of 'sky being pushed up' - he strains to extent the vertical dimension. Only a few of the moe glyphs in H have this vertical sign:
