The creator of the G text did not normally use the method of 'splitting glyphs' as used at Aa2-45--46:

Aa2-45 Aa2-46

Glyphs with vacant spaces in the middle occur at one place in G, though:

Ga8-2 Ga8-3 Ga8-4
Ga8-5 Ga8-6 Ga8-7 Ga8-8 Ga8-9
Ga8-10 Ga8-11 Ga8-12
Ga8-13 Ga8-14 Ga8-15

Here, indeed, Ga8-9 and Ga8-12 are split up glyphs, by which I mean there is a non-closed perimeter. Maybe we ought to put it into our high summer map:

25 32 2 8
Ga7-10 Ga8-9 Ga8-12
180 213 216 = 9 * 24
26 36
70 →

180 is counted from Gb8-30 and I have not noticed it before. It explains where kiore - henua glyphs are located, up to the end of the 1st half (360-day) year. The last 26 of these days sun is no longer climbing noticeably.

The first kiore - henua is Ga3-5, and measuring we find that 180 = 64 + 116:

21 66 25
Ga3-5 Ga4-3 Ga6-13 Ga7-10
116 = 4 * 29

To return to the split up glyphs, one should note 210 at Ga8-6, maybe expressing the end of a 3rd 70-day period:

Ga8-5 Ga8-6 Ga8-7 Ga8-8 Ga8-9
209 210 211 212 213
Ga8-10 Ga8-11 Ga8-12
214 215 216

210 could indicate a division of the 360-day year into 210 days + 150 days, 7 + 5 months. If so, then probably it is summer (honu) which has 7 months, possibly:

 

68 68 68
Ga4-1 Ga4-2 Ga6-14 Ga8-20 Ga8-21 Gb3-3
70 ↑
70 → 70 ↓

But even though we have mapped 3 times 70 days the periods do not agree with 210 at Ga8-6.
