By comparing the text of G with the text in C it becomes possible to position maro in Ca6-24 as the last glyph of 165 - given that we begin counting from the last glyph on side b (exactly as when we count from Gb8-30 to find the kuhane stations in that text):

64 96
Cb14-19 (1) Ca3-14 (66) Ca3-15 Ca3-16 Ca6-24 (165)
65 100

The text on side a of G is shorter than the text on side a of C and the parallel in G must therefore begin earlier on side b:

63 96
Gb6-25 Gb6-26 Gb8-30 (1) Ga4-14 Ga4-15 Ga4-16 (100)
65 100

The 'fists' held high in Ca3-14 apparently is another explanation of what in Gb8-30 is described with puo ('to dress', as when a plant is hilled up).

We can say that Ca6-24 and Ga4-16 identify the last one of 100 days counted from the beginning of the 'front side' of the year.

In G the 2nd and 3rd 100-day periods are initiated by Rei glyphs, and another period with 65 days then completes the symmetry:

98 98
Ga4-17 Ga7-30 (200) Ga7-31 Gb3-9 (300)
100 100
63
Gb3-10 Gb5-11 (365)
65

There is a kind of arm- and legless honu in Gb3-10. On its outside there are 8 + 8 = 16 'feathers', as if the central figure is hiding the rays from the sun.
