We can now count the number of days between the 2 pare glyphs in H, and we should not divide by 3 but by 2:
Pare in Ha3-11 arrives in day 60 counted from Ha1-1 and the pare which is 'fading away' (Ha10-31) is in day 267. In G we can regard the beginning of the back side of the tablet (Gb1-1) as referring to day number 231 of the calendar. Glyph line Gb1 contains 26 glyphs, presumably a sign which means that the reign of Sun is finished with Gb1-26. Because if 360 can be thought of as 18 * 20 - as we can suspect from hetuu in *Qb5-18 - then 9 * 20 = 180 should be half the total cycle, and the last part (9) of the reign of the Sun King (26) should coincide with line Gb1 which is the 9th line on the tablet.
Thinking along these lines it suddenly becomes clear why hua poporo in Hb2-34 has been given its place - because 9 * 26 = 234. Is it a 'broken neck' sign at bottom? But 734 is 500 (= 5 * 100) more and 367 is 100 more than 267. Rogo (Hb2-35) in the following day has started to move again after having stood still. All movement forward begins with a first step, which we can see.
In Ga8-26 we can count 8 * 26 = 208, which in another way illustrates the end of Sun:
So when we add 26 more days to 208 it becomes 9 * 26 = 234 days and the time is similar to the 29th ('2nd 9') dark night of the month. Gb1-26 has ordinal number 256 (= 4 * 64) and 9 * 29.5 = 266½. When the hua poporo season draws toward its end (in day number 88 counted from day 368 / 2 = 184) the ordinal number is 2-16, where we can 'read' 1296 / 6 (mixing the G text with the text of H):
