The lowest measure for indicating Te Pei (the 8th kuhane station) is 8 * 28.5 = 228:
And:
In other words: 228, the lowest number indicating Te Pei, is a much higher number than 180 (or 182 etc) which we would expect for half a year (and for the first side of the G tablet). In K there is a more reasonable 192 for both sides, and the short text presumably covers only the first half of the year. 228 - 192 = 36 is the difference to be accounted for, and Ga2-6 is glyph number 36 if we count from Ga1-1. It stands as glyph number 6 in the 12-glyph long calendar, probably mapping the whole solar year, cfr e.g. Ga2-10 where there is a hole through which sun can leave in autumn. And moe in Ga2-34 is suitably located where the light from spring sun has appeared. 6 double months, with one glyph for each month. We have earlier discussed why the text of K does not stretch to 228. ... by adding the distance between Ka3-14 and Kb3-7 to 144 we will reach 228, i.e. 36 days beyond the end of the text of K:
