Now we are ready to look closer on glyph line Qb2, which by several measures apparently is the place Hua Reva (where sun's 10 months are ending):

 
144 452
*Qb5-17 (1) *Qb5-18 Qb2-15 Qb2-16 (454)
300 days
138 448
*Qb5-23 (1) *Qb5-24 Qb2-11 Qb2-12 (462)
462 / 2 + 64 = 231 + 64 = 295 days
126 460
*Qb5-35 (1) *Qb5-36 Qb2-23 Qb2-24 (462)
295 days

In G we have learned to add 64 days from the end of side b to the beginning of side a in order to find the distance from winter solstice. Here 64 days are also added. If they are not added, 295 will be 231. Ika hiku in Qb2-24 is therefore located 5 days before the ending of the lunar month Te Pei.

Adding 64 days will shift its position to Hua Reva. In Qb2-12 the koti sign apparently is meant to be read as the break after 10 months have been reached.

The beginning of glyph line Qb2 is described here.
