Logic then forces us to also renumber the glyphs beyond Gb4-20:

8 9 10 11 12 13
Gb5-1 Gb5-2 Gb5-3 Gb5-4 Gb5-5 Gb5-6

At day 10 Venus now appears, as she should because I have associated her with the beginning, and hua is the sign for that.

Although Gb4-30 (10) is close to Gb5-3, only a week away, there is not much in common in the details. Gb4-30 has only one 'fruit' and there is some resemblance with Ca7-14, and also with Ka3-14:

Gb4-30 (10) Ca7-14 (260) Ka3-14 (60)

In Ka3-14 the middle portion of the sign at bottom left agrees with how the middle portion of the crescent at left in Gb4-30 has been 'deformed' into a straight 'leaning forward tree' (or inverted 'rib' - cfr Gb5-2). The 'claw' formed by the bottom of Ka3-14 seems to be the same sign as at bottom left in Ca7-14 (though there reversed).

60 comes 200 days earlier than 260, and 200 days are apparently measured out for the season of waxing. 200 is 10 * 20.

The 'leaning forward tree' in Gb4-30 - as well as the 3 'feathers' at right - should refer to the coming spring.

The ordinal number for Gb4-30 counted from Gb8-30 is 351, and there are 472 - 351 = 121 glyphs remaining on side b. Counted from Gb1-1 the ordinal number is also 121. The idea seems to be to say 11 * 11, a square of 'one more' (than 10). Gb4-30 will then mean that next year's sun is already hanging there waiting.

121 + 121 + 121 = 363 (the day of Rogo). There is room for a triplet of 'babies' in a year.
