The remaining pair of hanau glyphs is also located at an interesting place. The 3rd of the special henua periods comes immediately before:

3
3	Ab4-24	Ab4-25	Ab4-26	Ab4-27	Ab4-28 (272)

272 = 4 * 68 and we should remember the general location, beyond moe in Ab4-18:

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

272 is the last of the pair of glyphs which together define day 136. There are 15 * 68 = 1020 glyphs (610 days) from Ab4-28 to Aa8-43:


Aa8-42	Aa8-43 (1292)	Aa8-44	Aa8-45
646		647

Aa8-46	Aa8-47	Aa8-48	Aa8-49
648		649

Aa8-50	Aa8-51 (1300)	Aa8-52	Aa8-53 (1302)
650		651

The birth of a new season seems to occur with the 4th period:

4
	Ab4-29 (273)	Ab4-30	Ab4-31	Ab4-32
	137		138

5
	Ab4-33 (277)	Ab4-34	Ab4-35	Ab4-36

	Ab4-37	Ab4-38

	Ab4-39	Ab4-40	Ab4-41	Ab4-42 (286)

Manu kake then initiates the following, 6th, period (out of a total of 8 - of course):

6
6	Ab4-43	Ab4-44	Ab4-45	Ab4-46	Ab4-47 (291)

Time does not allow us to continue on this fascinating trail, we must return. The following 12 glyphs are those which I was intending to discuss when I saw those special 6 which forced me into a detour:


Aa2-26	Aa2-73	Aa3-48	Aa4-8	Aa4-9

Aa4-36	Aa4-47	Aa4-55	Aa4-61

Aa5-61	Aa5-69			Aa7-15

Redmarked are 5 where a 'cap' forms the right ear (I have also counted the black Aa4-55 where a birth evidently is shown).

The remaining 7 glyphs have a 'cap' at left. In Aa5-69 it is the middle chap which made me include the glyph, but it is rather difficult to distinguish the hanau glyphs with a cap instead of the normal type of ear.

Quite clearly the location is concentrated to side a. Furthermore, Aa7-15 presumably is a special case because the whole glyph line a7 is used for a special calendar. We conclude that the 3 glyph lines Aa2--Aa5 is the habitat of the cap sign. The cap at right comes after cap at left, and glyph line Aa4 is where the cap is in front:


Aa4-31	Aa4-32	Aa4-33	Aa4-34	Aa4-35

Aa4-36	Aa4-37	Aa4-38	Aa4-39	Aa4-40

Aa4-36 (where 4 * 36 = 8 * 18 = 12 * 12 = 144) is the beginning, 4 glyphs before pito. We can compare with the end at Ab4-36:

384	286		383	279
		Aa4-36 (951)			Ab4-36 (280)
670		664

670 is equal to the number of glyphs on side a, 664 to the numbers of glyphs on side b. 384 glyphs on side b beyond Ab4-36 is equal to 192 days.

Counting from the beginning of side a we should probably go on until pito (Aa4-39), because then we have 290, i.e. 145 days.

The cap-ear at right sign comes with the season initiated by pito. It indicates when the high sky is 'born'.

1334 / 2 = 667 days. We have mapped 192 + 145 = 337 of them, there remain 330:

						378
Aa4-36	Aa4-37	Aa4-38	Aa4-39	Aa4-40	Aa4-41	378
day 336		day 337		day 1		189

276
276	Ab4-33 (277)	Ab4-34	Ab4-35	Ab4-36 (280)
138	day 139		day 140
