It has long been suspected that the 819-day counts had something to do with
the planets Jupiter and Saturn, partly because of whole-number divisors
(819 = 7 x 9 x 13; 399 = 7 x 3 x 19; 378 = 7 x 9 x 3 x 2),
partly because K'awiil occurs prominently in 819-day-count clauses.
Since synodic cycles of planets are not exactly whole number of days,
such a hypothesis calls out for further checking.
(the "Y" glyph has small numbers associated,
and appears to reflect a cycle modulo 7 days)
There is now a section 9. of the Mayan Downloads on this topic.

Specifically here:
www.TraditionalHighCultures.com/819-Day-Count_&_Y_Glyph.html
If anyone knows of additional 819-day-count stations in the texts,
not already included there, please let me know.
Or if there are additional "Y" glyphs occurring without 819-day counts.
Or if there are alternative interpretations for the glyphic texts
which may be better than those now listed in the tables of data.
A careful study of known 819-day-count clauses and of other occurrences
of the "Y" glyph appears to confirm the hypotheses previously stated,
and can add new information.
Refining the hypotheses:
The "Y" glyph seems to signal that Jupiter is new or young
(between conjunction with the Sun and its 1st stationary point).
The examples including 819-day counts are 11 to 3 consistent with this.
(Similarly 11 to 4 for Saturn.) A couple of the exceptions are
marginal ones, shortly after 1st stationary points.
The hypothesis of some connection with Jupiter and/or Saturn
has been around for some time, but this method of testing the
hypothesis is more systematic than has previously been available.
