On the other side of the week another type of henua (than the midnight one) is arriving:
Metoro identified the figure in Ca3-25 as Rogo. We recognize Ca3-25 as a variant of honu vae kore, the winter solstice glyph. On Hawaii Lono is the main figure at winter solstice. Next page:
If Ca3-15 also is at day 315, then day 1 must be on side b. On side a Ca3-15 is glyph number 51 + 15 = 66, and 315 - 66 = 249.
Glyph number 249 counting backwards from the end of side b is Cb5-5 (249 - 233 = 16 and 21 - 16 = 5):
In Cb5-9 we notice one of the 3 manu kake in C, and in Cb5-16 there is a very special honu vae kore:
Cb5-16 is taller than Ca3-25, and also leaner. If they both stand at solstice, Ca3-25 is the one who should be at winter solstice. 238 + 75 = 313, which means it is possible to count to 314 from Cb5-16 to Ca3-25:
Honu vae kore in Ca3-25 apparently is the beginning of growth, glyph number 314 beyond honu vae kore in Cb5-16. The triplet 314, 315, 316 defines a sequence of 314 glyphs to the end of side a. 392 = 78 + 314. The end of side a would then, maybe, be the end of growing sun, with 75 glyphs on side a before winter solstice. Counting from Ca4-3 up to and including Cb5-16 the distance is 314 + 110 = 424, much too long for 1 glyph = 1 day. 424 / 2 = 212 is a better measure. (392 + 348) / 2 = 370. Day number 36 counted from Ca1-1 will fuse the last glyph in Saturday with a peculiar honu:
Then follows in the first half of day 5 from winter solstice the 'making of a king' (hakaariki):
The king possibly is depicted in Ca4-8, a variant of manu rere which exhibits as his front 'member' the same sign as in honu vae kore:
Applying the idea of 2 glyphs per day and counting from Ca1-1 will change our picture of the week. There are 30 glyphs describing 15 days, beginning with day number 24 (from Ca1-1) and ending with day number 38 at winter solstice:
