In H the parallel text beyond the vanishing Rogo (Qb2-10) extends from *Ha11-28 and forward. There are 14 glyphs to consider:

*Ha11-28 *Ha11-29 *Ha11-30 *Ha11-31 *Ha11-32 *Ha11-33
*Ha11-34 *Ha11-35 *Ha11-36 *Ha11-37 *Ha11-38 *Ha11-39
Obviously *Ha11-30--31 correspond to day 290 in Q and to day 288 in G (in both cases counted from winter solstice by adding 64 days fetched from the end of side b).
*Ha11-40 *Ha11-41

The glyphs from *Ha11-7 to *Ha11-27 cannot be seen, the area is destroyed by fire. Yet, the number of glyphs for H can anyhow be restored as 648 + 648 = 1296. Or - even better - as 666 + 648 = 1314.

*Ha11-31 is glyph number 600 counted from Ha1-1 (including the estimated number of glyphs in the area destroyed by fire), which hardly is a coincidence. If we divide 600 by 3 it becomes 200, which can be read as half 400.

On the other hand it seems possible to alternatively divide by 2 and relate *Ha11-30--31 to day number 300 (suggesting 300 days from winter solstice). Either alternative leads to a point in time which implies the disappearance of spring sun, but day 300 is more in harmony with what we can read in G and Q:

Ga8-20 (224) Qb2-13 Qb2-14 (452) *Ha11-30 *Ha11-31 (600)
288 = 224 + 64 290 = 452 / 2 + 64 600 / 2 = 300

It should be noticed that Qb2-10--11 in every way is the opposite of *Ha11-28:

Qb2-10 Qb2-11 *Ha11-28

It is as if the Rogo figure has been drawn clockwise from bottom up and ending at the waist at right without being completed. The complex glyph in *Ha11-28, on the other hand, seems to have been drawn clockwise from the extreme right and ending above the waist at left.
