R is the shorter of them, and we should notice that 26 is both the number of glyphs in line Gb1 and my estimated number of glyphs in line Ra8. Side b of G is beginning with number 231 and side b of R with number 227 - or maybe with 227 + 1 = 228 (= 12 * 19) if the structure with counting from the last glyph of side b should be used also in the R text.

In a way the front side of the calendar of G continues on to side b, first in order to reach 236 (= 8 * 29.5) and then to reach 240 (= 8 * 30). We can even understand Gb1-26 to be day number 8 * 32 (= 256 = 236 + 20). The back side of the G calendar will then not begin until glyph line b2.

26 is the number of the 'ruling sun king' and we can imagine his abode to be in line b1 in G and in line a8 in R. We should remember that Antares, the summer star, is located at a southern declination of 26º:

Rona in Gb1-13 could have its position by cause of being ordinal number 13 in the glyph line of the ruling sun king. We can then regard its position - according to my suggestions earlier in this rona chapter - as the dark day beyond 12, with 13 as the symbol for a completed sun cycle.

It would correspond to 'ika kino' (the 'bad fish' driving the sun's chariot without sufficient power). In the 2nd list of place names number 13 (or 17 if we begin counting from 4 'nights' earlier) has the appellation kino ariki ('a bad time for the king'):

13	*ko te hereke a kino ariki*	rising moon
14	hatu ngoio a taotao ika.
15	*ara koreu a pari maehaeha.*
16	*hanga kuokuo a vave renga.*

17	*Opata roa a mana aia.*	'climbing the tree'
18	*vai tara kai u(a) a ngao roaroa a ngao tokotokoa.*
19	*hia uka a hakairiiri a hakaturuturu.*
20	*hanga ohiro a pakipaki renga.*

In the 1st list of place names item 13 is tama he ika kino he ihu roroa:

1	*nga kope ririva tutuu vai a te taanga*

2	*te pu mahore a hau maka o hiva*	3	*te poki uri a hau maka i hiva*	4	*te manavai a hau maka o hiva*
5	*te kioe uri a hau maka o hiva*	6	*te piringa aniva a hau maka o hiva*	7	*te pei a hau maka o hiva*	8	*te pou a hau maka o hiva*
9	*hua reva a hau maka o hiva*	10	*akahanga a hau maka o hiva*	11	*hatinga te kohe a hau maka o hiva*	12	*roto iri are a hau maka o hiva*

13	tama he ika kino he ihu roroa

Glyph line Gb1 is important because it contains the halfway station to day 472 (= 16 * 29.5) as number 6 among its 26 glyphs. Rona in Gb6-13 is the halfway station to 26.
