Once again. The vai glyphs ought to define the rainy season:

289 34 2 4
*Qa2-32 (55) Qa9-3 (345) Qa9-38 (380) Qa9-41 (383)
290 36 7
333
133 214 54
*Qb3-37 (521) *Qb3-38
135 268
403

But *Qa2-32 should be the last glyph of this season, because then follows a great gap in time to next similar vai:

*Qa2-32 *Qa4-23 Qa8-47 Qa9-3 Qa9-38 Qa9-41 *Qb3-38

The redmarked ones are special. In *Qa2-32 the straight vertical line of measure is at right - i.e. vai is at left, in the past.

36 + 7 + 134 = 177 = 6 * 29.5 and then there are 215 + 55 = 270 more to the end of vai.

34 2 4 133
Qa9-3 (345) Qa9-38 Qa9-41 *Qb3-37 (521)
36 7 134
177 = 6 * 29.5
214 54
*Qb3-38 (522) *Qa2-32
270

(177 + 270) / 2 = 223.5 days. Let us involve the remaining two glyphs:

74 211 2
*Qa4-23 (130) Qa8-47 (342)
286 3
289

177 + 270 + 289 = 736.

Qa8-47 is close to Qa9-3 and should therefore belong to that group:

2 34 2 4 133
Qa8-47 (342) Qa9-3 Qa9-38 Qa9-41 *Qb3-37 (521)
46 134
180 glyphs = 90 days
214 54
*Qb3-38 (522) *Qa2-32
270 glyphs = 135 days
74 211
*Qa4-23 (130)
286 glyphs = 143 days

180 + 270 = 450 glyphs, or 225 (= 15 * 15) days.

Moon has a square of 15 days. And only 368 - 225 = 143 days are left to the sun. Zero occurs when the square of 12 is completed.

12 * 12 + 15 * 15 = 144 + 225 = 369 = 736 / 2 + 1.
