TAHUA II
58 The C text carries 392 + 348 = 740 glyphs, and this is 70 (10 weeks) more than on side a of the A tablet. 670 + 350 / 5 = 740. Or we could say that 348 = 364 - 16, and 740 + 16 = 756 = 86 more than on side a of the A tablet. Anciently they waíted for the return to visibility of stars rising heliacally, which meant 16 days longer. 756 → 7 * 56 → 56 weeks. And 756 / 2 = 378 → synodic cycle of the planet Saturn.
Saturn (Kronos) gave orders to the planet Jupiter (Jus Piter, Father Light, Zeus)
and therefore the synodic cycle of Jupiter was always 20 nights longer
378 (Ca14-15) + 20 = 398 (Cb1-6):
The type of glyph at Ca14-15 is of the kind which I have labelled vero:
Vero. To throw, to hurl (a lance, a spear). This word was also used with the particle kua preposed: koía kua vero i te matá, he is the one who threw the obsidian [weapon].

Churchill 2. The power of the King was once in a year put to the test at the point of a spear: ... A vestige of the practice of putting the king to death at the end of a year's reign appears to have survived in the festival called Macahity, which used to be celebrated in Hawaii during the last month of the year. About a hundred years ago a Russian voyager described the custom as follows: 'The taboo Macahity is not unlike to our festival of Christmas. It continues a whole month, during which the people amuse themselves with dances, plays, and sham-fights of every kind. The king must open this festival wherever he is. On this occasion his majesty dresses himself in his richest cloak and helmet, and is paddled in a canoe along the shore, followed sometimes by many of his subjects. He embarks early, and must finish his excursion at sunrise. The strongest and most expert of the warriors is chosen to receive him on his landing. The warrior watches the canoe along the beach; and as soon as the king lands, and has thrown off his cloak, he darts his spear at him, from a distance of about thirty paces, and the king must either catch the spear in his hand, or suffer from it: there is no jesting in the business. Having caught it, he carries it under his arm, with the sharp end downwards, into the temple or heavoo ... In this illustration from Bonampak Saturn is indeed wielding his spear, pointing at the 4th cartouch, that for the Earth Turtle:
, The three stars (Tau-toru) - in the center of the Orion constellation - are on the top of this swimming creature
and the sign in front of the face of Saturn is that of the planet Venus (a very dry place):
