Clearly G has documented a 300 glyph long cycle, with no vai glyph excepting Ga5-7:
This is an important discovery. Ga5-7 is located as glyph number 118 counted from Gb8-30. It seems to be a kuhane station (4 * 29.5 = 118), which could explain why it is an exception. The name Te Manavai could be what is expressed. The text of K has only two vai glyphs, the last of which ought to be in the season outside the 300 days of the sun:
Haú in Kb5-14 is the last glyph of a season, which seems to be 6 * 31 = 186 days long, and presumably it is spring:
Kb5-10 marks the end of two quarters with 91 days in each. Kb5-15 could at left indicate the 'empty hand' of the 2nd of two quarters. But why should there be a vai glyph at Kb5-16? And why is the headless figure in Kb5-17 running? And why are there 172 (= 472 - 300) glyphs in the K text, if we do not count the last glyph line? Next page:
