The fact that the week is embedded in one of 20 glyph sequences ending similarly naturally makes one wonder if the rest of this glyph sequence also relates to the planets.

The glyph sequence in question (no. 11) has 12 + 20 (the week) + 15 = 47 glyphs. I cannot see any evidence that the 12 glyphs before the week has anything to do with the planets, but I believe that the 15 glyphs after the week might tell us about planets, because among these 15 glyphs there are 4 with cut-off legs like in Tuesday-Saturday:

Ea5-4 Ea5-7 Ea5-9 Ea5-11 Ea5-15
Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday
Ea5-24 Ea5-27 Ea5-28 Ea5-30

I could guess that Ea5-27 represents Mars because of the 'canoe', Ea5-24 Venus because of the 'two eyes', Ea5-28 Mercury because the 'broken orbit' of the elbow ornament, and Ea5-30 Jupiter because of the 'penis-like' elbow ornament. Saturn should have a closed elbow ornament. Though Ea5-24 might be the Moon, because it too has two faces, and it comes before Mars in the week. Idle speculations!
