Glyph line Ca11 has 32 glyphs, which I guess means Spring Sun now is once again in charge (4 + 32 = 36).

The ihe tau sign appears together with the moko glyphs, which possibly means the season of moko is over:

Ca11-17 Ca11-18 Ca11-19 Ca11-20 Ca11-21 Ca11-22
Ca11-23 Ca11-24 Ca11-25 Ca11-26

5 moko glyphs are followed by 2 'negative' (ihe tau + moko) ones:

7 6 10 9
Ca10-8 Ca10-16 Ca10-23 Ca11-5 Ca11-15
Mercury Jupiter Jupiter Sun Mercury
5 2
Ca11-21 Ca11-22 Ca11-25 Ca11-26 (310)
Mars Mercury Saturn Sun

Beyond Sun in Ca11-26 follow 6 further glyphs in the line:

Ca11-27 Ca11-28 Ca11-29 Ca11-30 (314) Ca11-31 Ca11-32

Moko in Ca12-1 is of a different kind, more like those on side b:

Ca12-1 Ca12-2 Ca12-3 Ca12-4 (320) Ca12-5 Ca12-6 Ca12-7 Ca12-8

If we consider the first 92 glyphs on side a as belonging to the end of the text on the back side of the tablet and if we also consider the glyphs in line Ca12 to belong on the back side, then the number of glyphs of the back side will be 348 + 92 + 29 = 469.

And 29 is the 'mirror' number of 92. 29 + 92 = 121 = 11 * 11, cfr inoino in position 10 * 29.5:

Ca11-7 Ca11-8 Ca11-9 Ca11-10 Ca11-11 (295) Ca11-12 Ca11-13
Ca11-14 Ca11-15 Ca11-16

469 can be read as 46 * 9 = 414 (or 'one more' than 14 * 29.5 = 413). And, we should remember, in Ca9-24 we can count to 26 * 18 = 468 (= 9 * 24 + 252), i.e. Saturn in Ca9-25 can be regarded as 'one more' (= 469 - 468):

Ca9-24 (252) Ca9-25 Ca9-26 Ca9-27
468 = 18 * 26 1 2 3
