In R there is a beautiful hura which is of interest because the context has a parallel in A:

...
Ra3-101 Ra3-102 Ra3-103 Ra3-104 Ra3-105 Ra3-106

I cannot say which ordinal number on side a this hura glyph occupies. I have tried to find out but uncertainty remains (for the moment at least). Maybe one glyph is missing at the beginning of line Ra3 and maybe 58 is the ordinal number of hura:

...
*Ra3-1 *Ra3-2 *Ra3-3 *Ra3-4 *Ra3-5 *Ra3-6 *Ra3-7
*55 *56 *57 *58 *59 *60 *61

On the other hand we possibly should reduce by 5 corresponding to the estimated number of absent glyphs at the beginning of line Ra1. 58 - 5 = 53 is expressing a similar situation as 2 * 29 = 58. These numbers point towards the dark end, and if hura glyphs were used around spring equinox number 53 or 58 for *Ra3-4 is fitting - beyond light must come.

Disregarding the 5 first glyph spaces on side a of R is not very different from disregarding the last 666 - 648 = 18 glyph spaces on side b of H:

side b side a
53 18 299
Hb11-50 Ha6-25 (300)
72 372

Ambivalence is beautiful. The total number of glyph spaces will increase from 2 * 648 = 1296 to 1314 = 1000 + 314. And 13 * 14 = 182 or half 364, presumably meaning that the whole of the H text is referring to the 'Sun-is-present' half of the year.

And in G there are 72 glyphs from the end of the Jupiter cycle (where the 'egg' is held high to indicate the sky) to the end of side b:

68
Gb6-16 Gb6-17 (400) Gb6-18 Gb6-19 Gb6-20 Gb8-30 (472)
399 0 72

Furthermore, at 372 (Saturn in Ha6-25) we can count 3 * 72 = 216 = 648 / 3.

STOP! I made a mistake! 18 missing glyphs there are not at the end of side b of H. They are at the end of side a. In spite of this mistake I decided to keep the text above as it is. 1314 is still a 'hidden' sum on the H tablet, and 2 * 12 = 24 lines also suggest Sun.
