In G there are 3 glyphs which obviously belong together, among the 10 which I have classified as moe:

 
Ga1-20 Ga2-3 Ga3-2 Ga6-6 Gb2-13 Gb2-29
Gb2-30 Gb3-12 Gb4-22 Gb8-24

Ga2-3 is 'spooky' while Ga6-6 and Gb3-12 are without any break in their outlines. 6 * 6 = 3 * 12 = 36, which is no coincidence. The numbers refer to the regular 360-day solar year.

Ga6-6 and Gb3-12 are not drawn exactly alike. A quick look is not enough to determine whether two glyphs are alike. A close scrutiny is necessary, and we can then see that the beak in Ga6-6 is slightly thicker than that in Gb3-12. Also the 'foot' is thicker. These signs probably indicate that the spring bird (on side a) is giving 'stronger' light than the light from the bird on side b.
