These two mago glyphs together measure out a distance equal to 200 glyphs: 173 25 Hb9-63 (1123) Ha1-26 (1322) 200 1322 at Ha1-26 is equal to the total number of glyphs in H (1296) with 26 added. At first glance it appears to be a coincidence, because 3 glyphs are needed in H to measure out 1 day. 200 is not divisible by 3. However, that fact is exactly what has been used by the creator of the text, because the following glyph (Ha1-27) will then be possible to use as an approximation of the difference between 365¼ - 365: 198 1094 Hb9-63 (1123) Ha1-26 (1322) Ha1-27 Hb9-62 (1122) 66⅔ 365⅓ 432 Hb9-62 is the last glyph in the total calendar cycle, and mago at Hb9-63 is its first glyph. The development begin in the dark with neither stars, moon nor sun shining. The intrinsic value of mago is darkness, but here it has been amplified by the added sign of mea ke. The development from a completely dark beginning is, in a nutshell, the idea which forms the basic common structural features in H and G. This important statement must be elucidated.

22 is given an important role. We found it originally in Homer, where the one-eyed cyclope is connected with 22. I read it as a sign of π, because of the simple formula 7 * 3.14 = 21.98 = 22 and from my perspective of the probability of a year being divided in two halves ('leaf' and 'straw'), which could mean 22 referred to midsummer, where half the distance of the circumference of the year has been measured out. The single eye is a feature which must be explained, and this was the explanation.

Signs of number 22 were also found in the structure of the K text. Later I identified 22 with twice 11 ('one more' than 10), which gave the additional dimension of 22 meaning 'twins', which were going to take over from the 'old year'. Ga7-11 exemplifies my idea:

Ga7-11 (181)	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14

181 is counted from Gb8-30. If we add 58 in order to connect to the other 'child', the 'twin' at the opposite end of the cycle, we will have 181 + 58 = 239, i.e. ika hiku will be number 240.

181 is 'one more' than 180. Likewise 239 is 'one more' than 14 * 17, whatever that means.

Gb6-17	Gb6-18	Gb6-19	Gb6-20	Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24
Gb6-25	Gb6-26	Gb6-27	Gb6-28	Gb7-1	Gb7-2	Gb7-3 (414)	Gb7-4

Gb7-3 is the first of the twins, he has what could be part of a full moon sign where his left eye should have been. He has only one eye, he is a cyclope. His eye is in front, and he personifies the 8 * 30 = 240 days in front. He is the shark of spring.

Both tamaiti stand immediately 'inside the threshold', they occupy the position of 'one more', Gb7-3 as first glyph in the calendar round and Ga7-11 as first glyph in the season which comes after the 31 henua periods. The bottom 'knob' in Gb7-3 is formed like a nut and the bottom 'knob' in Ga7-11 is flat on the underside, presumably referring to summer solstice and standing on dry land. 22 occurs in 1122 (to be read as 11 cycles , 'eyes', I suppose), the ordinal number of the last glyph in the calendar round of H. Then 1322 comes at Ha1-26:

Hb9-62 (1122)	Ha1-26 (1322)

13 * 28 = 364 might explain why there should be 13 cycles (22) at Ha1-26, a glyph which is the last one before a calendar with 365⅓ days is beginning.

11 * 34 = 22 * 17 = 374 is 10 more than 364. And we remember 14 * 17 = 238 = 239 (at the 2nd tamaiti) - 1. 374 - 238 = 136 = 8 * 17. 22 = 14 + 8.

1222, which glyph is that? Hb11-30:

Hb11-21	Hb11-22	Hb11-23	Hb11-24	Hb11-25	Hb11-26
463			464
Hb11-27	Hb11-28	Hb11-29	Hb11-30 (1222)	Hb11-31	Hb11-32
465			1224 / 3 + 58 = 466

Niu seems to be located immediately beyond the end of a solar year (cfr the 10-feathered haú in Hb11-26, which is the end of day 364 + 100). Glyph line b11 ought to refer to 'one more', and there is a hole at the top in Hb11-28.

Probably niu is a word which alludes to the spring shark:

... Further to the east, there is Tama, whose addition 'an evil fish with a long nose' is explained by Juan Tepano to mean 'a shark' (he niuhi ME:58) [niuhi tapaka'i = hammerhead shark according to Vanaga] and may be connected with the youngest son of Hotu Matua (TP:54) ...
