The page 'A1-33':

 

We have seen that the first 8 glyphs of the 'daylight calendar' are of a special character, distinguishing them from those which follow. Likewise the last glyphs of those 20 which constitute the 'daylight calendar' are special:

Aa1-17 Aa1-18 Aa1-19 (20) Aa1-20
Aa1-21 Aa1-22 Aa1-23 Aa1-24 (120)
Aa1-25 Aa1-26 Aa1-27 Aa1-28 Aa1-29 Aa1-30 (240)
Aa1-31 Aa1-32 Aa1-33 (300)
Aa1-34 Aa1-35 Aa1-36 Aa1-37 Aa1-38 (400)

Aa1-19 is a Sun day according to my colour chart. Counting should begin here, because the previous glyph refers to the dark Saturn time of solstice. The 18th glyph from Aa1-1 will be day 360 if each glyph is counted as 20 days.

Counting anew from Aa1-19 with 20 days per glyph will assign toga in Aa1-33 day number 300. Beyond that there will be 100 further days to the end of a 400-day long year.

When sun leaves in the evening the people will light their fires (ahi) and therefore this time of the day is called ahiahi. The top flame of hetuu in Aa1-35 has been changed into two persons (probably representing the people).

The calendar of daylight changes gradually into a calendar of night. At Aa1-37--38 Metoro mentioned ehu (the basic meaning of which is 'ashes').

The day is 'mapped' with loans from the year. If we like 360 better than 300 we can add 3 glyphs at the beginning:

Aa1-16 Aa1-17 Aa1-18

But 8 + 6 + 3 + 5 = 22 is the measure for a cycle. Adding 3 will result in the square of Saturn. These 3 glyphs belong to winter solstice. They cannot be part of a calendar for the daylight.

 

Maybe the common structure for the 'seasons of the sun' is derived from the moon.

The painted balls preceding full moon will then be those 'vae kore' (in the parallel H/P/Q glyphs they are true vae kore). But neither the text of H nor that of P seems to qualify, because they have Saturn as a 'member' - there are no colours in the dark:

Ha5-26 Ha5-27 Ha5-28 Ha5-29 Ha5-30 Ha5-31 Ha5-32
Pa5-8 Pa5-9 Pa5-10 Pa5-11 Pa5-12 Pa5-13 Pa5-14
Qa5-16 Qa5-17 Qa5-18 Qa5-19 Qa5-20 Qa5-21 Qa5-22
Aa1-2 Aa1-3 Aa1-4 Aa1-5 Aa1-6 Aa1-7 Aa1-8

360 = 51 * 7 + 3, but 36 = 5 * 7 + 1. My colour chart is based on 7, and therefore there must be twice 360 and twice 36, if we wish to avoid an odd number as a remainder:

Venus Saturn Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31 32 33 34 35 36

If we begin with Mercury as number 1, then he will also be at number 36. The beginning becomes the end if we combine 7 and 36.

But then next number 1 (beyond 36) must be Jupiter. The days of the week will each begin a month, for instance:

Venus Saturn Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter
January February March April May June July
August September Oktober November December

If we let the year begin with winter solstice in December, then Jupiter will be the 7th month (because time does not count until we have measured 1 month).

36 = 20 + 16, and 12 * 36 = 432 = the number of glyphs in H divided by 3.

Venus will 'rule' both January and August. But in order to let her rule also the following January it is necessary to imagine Mercury and Jupiter being in the dark puo state:

Ka1-1 Ka1-2 Ka1-3 Ka1-4 Ka1-5 Ka1-6

The first glyph line in K ought to have 24 glyphs (which it also has), because that way the cycle 22 will be achieved with Venus at the beginning.

Line Ka2 has 22 glyphs, which means it will end with Mercury:

Ka2-3 Ka2-4 Ka2-5 Ka2-6 Ka2-7 Ka2-8 Ka2-9
Ka2-10 (8) Ka2-11 Ka2-12 Ka2-13 Ka2-14 Ka2-15 Ka2-16
Ka2-17 Ka2-18 (16) Ka2-19 Ka2-20 Ka2-21 Ka2-22 (20)

The cycle measures 22, but only 20 (= 14 + 6) are in the light. The cycle of the moon counts only to 20.

6 is also the number of 'toga' glyphs: 

Ka2-12 Ka2-14 Ka2-16 Ka2-18 Ka2-20 Ka2-22
Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn Moon Mercury
-
Ka2-19 Ka2-21 Ka2-11 Ka2-13 Ka2-15

Jupiter is special here, because he has only 1 glyph in the sequence from Ka2-11 to Ka2-22. There are only 11 glyphs in the table above, the 12th is Venus at Ka2-17:

Ka2-16 Ka2-17 Ka2-18 Ka2-19 Ka2-20 Ka2-21 Ka2-22
280 300 320 340 360 380 400

Her wingformed arm at left (from us seen) looks like a sign of Rogo. Counting with 20 days per glyph the end of the year should be with Jupiter in Ka2-16. And at Saturn we can recognize the toa sign we saw at right in Bb8-42:

Ka2-18 Bb8-42

24 (Ka1) + 18 (in Ka1) = 42 = the ordinal number of toga in Bb8. And 24 + 22 = 46, a number we also recognize.

The Moon arm at 360, where she marks the limit of the Sun according to his own measure (12 * 30), resembles the upraised arm characterizing the sun quarters:

0 1
Aa1-17 Aa1-18 Aa1-19 Aa1-20
2 3
Aa1-21 Aa1-22 Aa1-23 Aa1-24

The painted balls of dawn could be Sun, Moon, Mars, and Mercury:

Qa5-16 Qa5-17 Qa5-18 Qa5-19 Qa5-20 Qa5-21 Qa5-22
Aa1-2 Aa1-3 Aa1-4 Aa1-5 Aa1-6 Aa1-7 Aa1-8
Ka2-16 Ka2-17 Ka2-18 Ka2-19 Ka2-20 Ka2-21 Ka2-22
