Good question Nablator!
There are more p and f because the conjunction of the Sun with the nodes occurs twice a month whereas t and k happen every day. When the conjuction with the Moon also occurs is well represented graphically with the benches under the gallows: cth and ckh are the new Moon and the full Moon; cph and cfh are the eclipses. These last glyphs are few.
I don't know how the system is ordered, but I think it has to do with the identification of the stars by their position in the sky.
