The first simple maitaki glyph in G comes in the 4th period of spring:

4
Ga3-17 Ga3-18 Ga3-19

The two united birds in Ga3-18 can be compared with the united twins in Thursday:

Hb9-42 Ga3-18

If in high summer united twins are described as two faces (ariga erua) looking at each other, then in the opposite winter sky twin birds could be looking at each other. Sun is far out over the sea in the north, where there is no land. But birds may fly there.

In H we can find exactly the same type of twin birds, which ought to indicate that also their meaning should be the same):

Ha7-47 Ga3-18

This assumption is strengthened by a resemblance between two manu kake glyphs (Ha8-5 respectively Ga3-1) not far away. Neither the twin birds nor manu kake are frequent glyph types.
