We have one more maro glyph to consider in C:

1
Ca6-17 Ca6-18 Ca6-19 Ca6-20 Ca6-21
Ca6-22 Ca6-23 Ca6-24

Now we are able to recognize the influence of Rogo in Ca6-17. He stands at the beginning (as he should) in all 8 periods.

There are 3 + 4 = 7 feathers in Ca6-24 (where 6 * 24 = 144 = 12 * 12). The right feather string is longer and slightly more bent, signs which agree with our earlier experience:

Ga5-15 *Ca14-23 Ca6-24

In terms of the sun number 7 refers to the early season, before midsummer. Does it mean that 3 out of 7 periods of the sun are in the past?

Let us count:

1
Ca6-17 (157) Ca6-18 Ca6-19 Ca6-20 Ca6-21
Ca6-22 Ca6-23 Ca6-24 (164)

Counting glyphs from Ca1-1 gives acceptable results. 157 = half 314 amd 164 can be read as 16 * 4 = 64.

64 is the number of days from winter solstice to the beginning of side a in G.

6 * 24 = 31 * 8 = 248, an even better result than 16 * 4 = 64.

12 * 31 = 372:

glyph numbers counted from Ca1-1
Ca13-16 Ca13-17 Ca13-18 Ca13-19 Ca13-20 (363)
*Ca14-1 (364) *Ca14-2 *Ca14-3 (366) *Ca14-4 *Ca14-5 (368)
*Ca14-6 *Ca14-7 *Ca14-8 *Ca14-9 (372) *Ca14-10
*Ca14-11 *Ca14-12 *Ca14-13 *Ca14-14 (377)

14 * 9 = 126 = 7 * 18.

In G we should presumably look for the parallel glyph (at day 164) by counting 100 from Gb8-30. There are 12 glyphs in periods 12-15 which by cause of the number of glyphs should belong together in a group:

13
Ga4-16 (100) Ga4-17 Ga4-18 Ga4-19
14
Ga4-20 Ga4-21 (105) Ga4-22
15
Ga4-23 Ga4-24 Ga4-25 Ga4-26 Ga4-27

Ga4-16 can be read as 4 * 16 = 64, exactly as Ca6-24, a firm point to stand on it seems.

The 12 glyphs are preceded by a 7-glyph group, in which the first glyph has position 157 counted from winter solstice:

10
Ga4-9 (93) Ga4-10
11
Ga4-11 Ga4-12 Ga4-13
12
Ga4-14 (98) Ga4-15

If we have understood the idea of maro, then we can state with some confidence, that beyond Ca6-24 there will come another 100 glyphs:

96
Ca3-14 (65) Ca3-15 Ca3-16 Ca6-24 (164)
Ca6-25 (165) Ca6-26 Ca6-27 Ca6-28 (168) Ca7-1
88
Ca7-2 Ca7-3 Ca7-4 Ca7-5 Ca7-6 Ca7-7 (175) Ca10-9 (264)

Ca3-14 is a success, it is the first glyph of Friday.

Ca10-9 is undecided. Once again we have to wait for moko, because the glyph is the 6th in the first (of 10 periods) dominated by moko.

Both the beginning, middle, and end of these 200 glyphs are located in special calendars (week, month, and ?).
