Significantly Qb2-24 is located at Hua Reva (day 295 counted from *Qb5-35):

293 294 462 / 2 + 64 = 295

Haati in Qb2-23 confirms somebody is leaving. 462 / 2 = 231 is the 8th kuhane station, Te Pei. The parallel with G is obvious, and it can be used to get a grip on ika hiku in Gb2-15:

Glyph number 400 in G is 9 days earlier than Rogo (Gb5-26), and 295 (at Gb1-1) will therefore increase to 304. But Ga8-23 lies 4 days earlier than Gb1-1, and the net effect will be day number 300.

But then, baffling us, we rediscover that the beginning is also the end - and, furthermore, equal to winter solstice:

296 + 64 = 360 5 366

604 / 2 + 64 = 366 367 368
...
*Qb5-35 *Qb5-36 *Qb5-37 *Qb5-38 (612) *Qb5-39 *Qb5-40
369 370 371

Q has the arrival of winter solstice 9 days earlier than the break in the calendar (between *Qb5-35 and *Qb5-36), but G has it the other way - with day 400 coming 9 days earlier than Rogo.
