The first glyph line on side b resembles the first glyph line on side a and it is somewhat uncertain how many glyphs there are.
Side a is beginning at the bottom with a text line reading from left to right and with the figures 'standing on their feet'. Next line (Ka2) is to be read from right to left with the figures upside down. 2 of the 5 glyph lines on side a are to be read from right to left with the glyphs upside down.
Side b is also beginning at the bottom, but the first line is coming from the right with the glyphs upside down. It presumably is to be considered as the 'return voyage' of line Ka5. Next line (Kb2) is to be read from left to right with the figures 'standing on their feet'. 3 of the 5 glyph lines on side b are to be read from right to left with the glyphs upside down.
Basically we evidently should count only the visible glyphs and not the 5 + 6 = 11 'vacant' places:

| Numbers with asterisk (*) refer to possible glyph positions where no glyph is visible. |
In line a1 the empty spaces arrive after 12 (more or less) visible glyphs and in line b1 they arrive after 16 glyphs:

The 2 vacant positions in line b1 come after number 108, where according to my assumed precessional time for the rongorongo texts there were 100 days remaining to the solstice.
For the end of line b1 in the G text I have derived a much later calendar time:

Yet, also the end of line Gb1 clearly indicates a great 'division in time'.
