If there was a common system for how to create text on the sides of a tablet, for instance with side a equal to 'the face' and side b equal to 'the back side', then it would not be astonishing if also the order and numbers of the glyph lines were important. In G there are 8 lines on both sides of the tablet and this pattern was used also on the S tablet. We can guess the 'double-eyes' in *Sb6-20 are referring to the same season as that of Gb6-20.

3 small eyes on each side of the 'midnight' henua could represent time periods, though not so long as a whole year. Smaller signs probably indicated shorter periods:

"Among the Nahyssan of S. Carolina time was measured and a rude chronology arranged by means of strings of leather with knots of various colour, like the Peruvian quipos. The Dakota use a circle as the symbol of time, a smaller one for a year and a larger one for a longer period: the circles are arranged in rows, thus: OOO or O-O-O. The Pima of Arizona make use of a tally. The year-mark is a deep notch across the stick..." (Primitive Time-Reckoning.)

We cannot, however, easily discover any similarity between the relevant text in S and that of G:


Gb6-17 (400)	Gb6-18	Gb6-19	Gb6-20

Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24 (407)


*Sb6-17	*Sb6-18	*Sb6-19	*Sb6-20

*Sb6-21	*Sb6-22	*Sb6-23	*Sb6-24

If the same time is described in the glyphs around *Sb6-20 as in the glyphs around Gb6-20, then only the structure could be similar. The double-rimmed 'eyes' in *Sb6-20 presumably tell about matters from a Moon perspective instead of from a Sun perspective. In *Sb6-19 for instance there is a hakaua ('making rain') glyph.

Small details reveal a possible opposition of view. For instance is there a similarity between the 'beard' high up in Gb6-24 and the sign low down in *Sb6-24.

In *Sb6-21 a moon crescent with a triangular form added in front could refer to full moon, and 4 glyphs later another hatchmarked waning moon crescent probably indicates the dark new moon:


Gb6-25	Gb6-26	Gb6-27	Gb6-28

Gb7-1	Gb7-2	Gb7-3	Gb7-4


*Sb6-25	*Sb6-26	*Sb6-27	*Sb6-28

*Sb6-29	*Sb6-30	*Sb6-30	*Sb6-30

62 * 7 = 434 = 14 * 31. Saturday in Gb6-25 (where 62 * 5 = 10 * 31) has a 'fist' held high sign (Sun fire is on its way), whereas in *Sb6-25 there is an empty hand and a fish at the end of a string.

In contrast to Rogo in Gb6-26 there is a hatchmarked 'midnight' henua with an empty hand in front. Whereas Gb6-25--28 clearly describes the beginning of a season of Sun light the corresponding 4 glyphs in S seem to describe the end of a season of Moon light. Thus it could be the same time of the year, because Moon is born at midsummer and Sun in midwinter. The beginning ('birth') of Sun could coincide with the end ('death') of Moon.

The bottom 'eye' in *Sb6-20 is slightly horizontally elongated, presumably indicating summer solstice. The top 'eye' is greater than the bottom one, maybe to be interpreted as 'fully grown.
