360
- 210 - 120 = 30 and we can guess Mercury and
Saturn each has 15 days. However, in G there are
16 * 29.5 = 472 positions in the calendar. And its
regular calendar ends with 14 * 29.5 = 413.
Above I have listed 14 glyphs, but if we begin from
Eb7-1 there are 16 glyphs to consider.
In G the
last 2 'months' at the end of side b seem to function as
an intermediary phase before the 'front side' arrives.
Similarly the pair Eb7-1--2 seems to work as a prelude to the 14
glyphs above:

Eb7-1 is
a Rogo glyph, a glyph type which we usually
will find at the beginning of
the year. But this Rogo has signs which
indicates he
marks the end (he is leaning slightly backwards with an open hand
and with 'waves in
his hair', and he has a completely drawn elbow ornament).
They
form a pair these two glyphs, we can see from
their 'waterfilled' common bottom form. Hipu
are containers used for carrying liquids and in
Gb2-27 the origin of vai is stated to be
hipu, a statement which causally connects
Eb7-2 with Sun in Eb7-4:

'The
living water of Tane' must be refilled
before the year can begin for real.
