The last 4 glyphs in line Ga7 clearly could belong at the beginning of line Ga8. There are 13 feathers around rakau at left in Ga7-32 and at left in Ga7-33 there is a single great head hanging down from the top curve (crook). This 'companion-of-the-king' is close to the night of 'death' (Mutu), koke-na-make, and he has also an outstretched leg as Schemset in front of Horus in the Underworld:

Rei in Ga7-31 (200) - where we possibly should count 7 * 31 = 217 = 216 + 1 - coincided with day 260 counted from ēMarch 21, which could refer to the number of days in a tzolkin year. My interpretation leads to the midnight culmination of Hamal as the point in time where next tzolkin could begin - a natural place for Rogo (Lono).

It should be noted that the Rei glyphs do not occur on side b of the G tablet:

... Rei in Ga7-31 (where 73 * 1 = 365 / 5 can be added to 73 * 4 at Ga7-34) is the 7th of 12 such glyphs. They fit nicely in the Gregorian structure:

glyph positions + 63 + 80
1 Ga1-30 (31) *94 'June 23 (St John's Eve)

(174)

2 Ga2-27 (58) *121 'July 20

(201)

3 Ga4-17 (101) *164 'September 1

(244)

4 Ga5-1 (112) *175 'September12

(255 = 355 - 100)

5 Ga5-6 (117) *180 'September 17

(260 = 255 + 5)

6 Ga7-22 (192) *255 'December 1

(335 = 255 + 80)

7 Ga7-31 (201) *264 'December 10

(344 = 244 + 100)

December 13 (347) is 173 days after June 23 (St John's Eve). This means Rei number 8 (the perfect number) has position 174 + 174 = 348 (see below). 348 = 12 * 29.

All the last 5 Rei glyphs are in line a8, beyond 'December 13 and close to the solstice ...

Rei in the position corresponding to the Hawaiian night of Kane has an upright top crescent which may have been meant to indicate the god of trees (Tane).

It should also be noted that the maitaki kind of glyph in line Ga8 comes in 2 variants, one where - as in Ga8-21 - there is an eye-catching bulge at left in the bottom oval, and another - as in Ga8-6 (11 days earlier) where there is no such sign. Possibly the bottom hemisphere at left in the Egyptian solstice picture is also wider than the rest of the 'buns':
