Comments ought to begin at the beginning. At ariga erua in the dictionary the text of Q was examined and one of the results was that the 'season of mago' is finished in a process taking 5 days:

	*'Eyes' are still in ariga erua.*
*Qb5-12	*'Eyes' are still in ariga erua.*

*Qb5-13	*Qb5-14	*Qb5-15	*Qb5-16	*Qb5-17

*Qb5-18	*Qb5-19	*Qb5-20	*Qb5-21	*Qb5-22
		*After 5 days (10 glyphs) the 'eyes' are gone, and the 'season of mago' is finished (open hand).*
*Qb5-23	*Qb5-24

The break between *Qb5-35 and *Qb5-36 was noted as taking place 16 glyphs (8 days) beyond winter solstice:


*Qb5-25	*Qb5-26	*Qb5-27	*Qb5-28	*Qb5-29

*Qb5-30	*Qb5-31	*Qb5-32	*Qb5-33	*Qb5-34 (608)

*Qb5-35	*Qb5-36	*Qb5-37	*Qb5-38 (612)
day 1		day 2 = (612 - 608) / 2

Winter solstice was assumed to be at day 360 (not as a period which I currently believe), and the last day of the calendar was identified as day 368. At the time when ariga erua was written day number 363 had not yet been discovered as 'the day of Rogo', but a distinction between the glyphs ending with *Qb5-24 and those beginning with *Qb5-25 had already been made.

The onset of winter solstice could, though, come already with day 358, because a 'fish' obscures the sun in a sign we can recognize:


*Ca14-23	*Ca14-14	*Qb5-13

Ariga erua at *Qb5-12 (586), on the other hand, is not yet at winter solstice.


*Qb5-13	*Qb5-14	*Qb5-15	*Qb5-16	*Qb5-17	*Qb5-18

The Rogo day was found in C while searching for information regarding maro glyphs:

At winter solstice the sky is low, and in a low position there tends to accumulate water. It is the opposite of up high where the flames of the sun are ruling. One way to read the glyphs at the beginning of line Ca14 is to imagine them as visible only in the part which is above the surface of this water:

glyph numbers counted from Ca1-1

Ca13-16	Ca13-17	Ca13-18	Ca13-19	Ca13-20 (363)

*Ca14-1	*Ca14-2	*Ca14-3 (366)	*Ca14-4	*Ca14-5

It is no real water of course. The glyphs are not drawn with their circumferences closed, there is no 'life' in them. They are abstractions.

Position 363 is the position of Rogo, which explains why we cannot see properly, light has gone out. This state continues first of all up to day 366, we know. Here we can see that also days 367-368 are included (which we also have experience of).

The Rogo glyph (Ca13-20, where 13 * 20 = 260) is 'occulted' at the top, and it is not a matter of 'water'. 6 days (from 363 up to and including day 368) are days when vision is impaired. 363 is first 36 and then 63. 368 = 46 * 8, etc.

Here we should notice that vero Rogo in Ca13-19 is the natural glyph from which to begin recounting the described events (which we also realized at that time). It represents day 362, which agrees with *Qb5-21--22:

				138
*Qb5-21	*Qb5-22 (596)	*Qb5-23 (1)	*Qb5-24	138
298 + 64 = 362		70

At ariga erua the Venus periods were discussed:

phase	observed periods		periods in the 'map' of G
morning star	263	313	284	314
black	50		30
evening star	263	271	260	270
black	8		10
sum	584		584

If we with growing awareness realize the importance of day 363, we will also appreciate that mother nature has pointed at this day for us, because 363 is 100 more than the lengths of the visibility periods of Venus.

Also, number 363 has occurred earlier in the glyph dictionary without being realized for what it is. For instance at haga rave:

7. Later on, at Haga Hônu, they made camp and caught 'great numbers (? ka-mea-ro) of fish (3 kinds). But they had no fire to prepare the fish on. One of them had to go back to Haga Te Pau to fetch it. This is the information we need. Haga Te Pau is located in the middle of He Maro, not mentioned in the kuhane journey but obviously very important. The explorers had landed there (another bay for anchorage) on He Maro 1.

On He Maro 10 they had left Haga Te Pau and gone up to construct a house and to plant yams. Mako'i went to survey the crater on He Maro 15. So far we can count to 10 days of rest at Haga Te Pau.

On the 5th day of Anakena they returned to Haga Te Pau, after having completed the house and the yam plantation. Later they left for Te Pou and slept there on the 10th day of Anakena. It seems as if we can add 5 days, and the total number of rest days at Haga Te Pau will then be 15:

1st quarter		2nd quarter		3rd quarter		4th quarter
He Anakena (July)		Tagaroa uri (October)		Tua haro (January)		Vaitu nui (April)
*Te Pei*	*Te Pou*	*Tama*	*One Tea*	*Mahatua*	*Taharoa*	*Nga Kope Ririva*	*Te Pu Mahore*
Hora iti (August)		Ko Ruti (November)		Tehetu'upú (February)		Vaitu potu (May)
*Hua Reva*	*Akahanga*	*Hanga Takaure*	*Poike*	*Hanga Hoonu*	*Rangi Meamea*	*Te Poko Uri*	*Te Manavai*
Hora nui (September)		Ko Koró (December)		Tarahao (March)		He Maro (June)
*Hatinga Te Kohe*	*Roto Iri Are*	*Pua Katiki*	*Maunga Teatea*	*Peke Tau O Hiti*	*Mauga Hau Epa*	*Te Kioe Uri*	*Te Piringa Aniva*
84		96 - 7 = 89		96 - 5 = 91		84 + 15 = 99 (?)
363 (?)

With 7 days' rest at Haga Takaúre summer would be 180 days long and the calendar year would be 180 + 84 + 99 = 363 days. And additional 2 days ought to be located in the winter quarters it seems.
