Next page from 'day numbers':

Cb5-16 is a curious glyph which we can try to relate to Ca3-25:

side a			side b
75		316	109		238
	Ca3-25 (76)			Cb5-16 (502)
392			348

Cb5-16 is taller than Ca3-25. If they both stand at solstices, then Ca3-25 should be at winter solstice (where sun stands low) and Cb5-16 stand at high summer.

238 + 75 = 313, which means it is possible to count to 314 from Cb5-16 to Ca3-25:

109		238	75				314
	Cb5-16 (110)			Ca3-25 (76)	Ca4-1	Ca4-2
	0			314	315	316

Rogo in Ca3-25 apparently is the generator of growth.

The triplet 314, 315, 316 has numbers which resemble the numbers for Venus as morning star: Ca3-14, Ca3-15, and Ca3-16. Beyond this triplet there is room for another 314 glyphs to the end of side a. 392 = 75 + 3 + 314. The end of side a could represent the end of growing sun. Waning sun could begin with Rogo at Cb5-16. We can see that his front 'wing' has changed into a haati sign, and his body seems to be entangled by kaikai strings.

			314	109		238	75
Ca3-25	Ca4-1	Ca4-2			Cb5-16
1	2	3			314

3 + 109 = 112 = 7 * 16, but maybe 109 is a sign saying 10 (sun) is ending (9). Or that 1 (sun) is at left (in the past), and beyond 'the central hole' there is death (9) - sun's rays are no longer vital.

Growth is on the outside (Ca4-1--2) while the opposite is inside (Cb5-16).

With 2 glyphs per day 112 glyphs = 7 * 8 days, a more balanced pair of numbers. 56 days = 2 * 28 days, or two months with sun shining on moon.

Neither the triplet at the beginning of the sun year nor the 109 glyphs at the beginning of side b are even numbers, they must contain part of a day.

Ca3-25 presumably is p.m., because Ca4-1--2 are similar in structure and they constitute the beginning of line Ca4. Rei at Ca3-24 'kicks' Rogo into action, and the last day of the old year ends with p.m. as a great henua (not of the 'midnight type'):


Ca3-22	Ca3-23	Ca3-24	Ca3-25
old year		new year

The end of the Rogo half 'year' exhibits a similar pattern:


Cb5-14	Cb5-15	Cb5-16	Cb5-17

Here maitaki has aquired 3 'balls', and the 'sails' are billowing out to the left. The top 'ball' seems to illustrate the last phase of waxing at left and the first phase of waning at right.

Cb5-15 (with 5 * 15 = 75 = 3 * 25 - cfr Ca3-25) is a 'midnight henua'. Counted from Rogo at Ca3-25 the glyph number is 3 + 314 + 109 = 426, a number which can be read as 'a square of 26'. 426 / 2 = 213 and 426 / 3 = 142. Neither 213 nor 142 are convincing.

Counted from Ca3-25 Rogo caught in strings has ordinal number 3 + 314 + 110 = 427, a number neither divisible with 2 nor with 3. The glyphs, however, say that there is a triplet which ends with glyph number 429:


Cb5-13	Cb5-14	Cb5-15	Cb5-16	Cb5-17	Cb5-18 (429)
55		110 / 2 = 56		57

429 / 3 = 143 can hardly be number of days, it is too short a time for winter to summer solstice.

Instead, a more probable method is to count from Cb1-1 and divide with two in order to reach day numbers. Once again Rogo comes at p.m. Also his 2nd form (Ca5-18) is located in p.m., and at his right it ends in nothing.

But this sign implies the new season is beginning beyond day 57 (counted from Cb1-1):


Cb5-16	Cb5-17	Cb5-18

Cb5-19	Cb5-20	Cb5-21	Cb6-1
