We have not reach the end of the trail. Comments from the page (in 'texts') documenting the glyphs Ra5-201--202:

... -
Ra5-201 Ra5-202
Hb12-29 Hb12-30 Hb12-31 Hb12-32
Eb6-6 Eb6-7 Eb6-8
The parallels in H, E and B continue on next page.
Bb12-11 Bb12-12

I have here coordinated Ra5-202 not only with the '3-ball' hua poporo in Eb6-8 but also with Hb12-32. Furthermore, Bb12-11--12 appear just before the discussed sequence of glyphs:

Bb12-1 Bb12-2 Bb12-3 Bb12-4 Bb12-5 Bb12-6
Bb12-7 Bb12-8 Bb12-9 Bb12-10 Bb12-11 Bb12-12
Bb12-13 Bb12-14 Bb12-15 Bb12-16 Bb12-17 Bb12-18
Bb12-19 Bb12-20 Bb12-21 Bb12-22 Bb12-23 Bb12-24
Bb12-25 Bb12-26 Bb12-27 Bb12-28 Bb12-29 Bb12-30
Bb12-31 Bb12-32 Bb12-33 Bb12-34 Bb12-35 Bb12-36
Bb12-37 Bb12-38 Bb12-39 Bb12-40 Bb12-41 Bb12-42
Bb12-43 Bb12-44 Bb12-45

Many comments could be written here, but we cannot do that now and here. We must continue along the trail.

A few comments can be allowed, pertinent to our current questions: Bb12-6 presumbly connect to other glyphs:

Bb12-6

Eb6-15

Ra5-210

The preceding Bb12-5 probably marks the end of the year, because of the similar glyphs at the end of the calendars of G and K:

32
Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14
30
Kb4-15 Kb4-16 Kb4-17 Kb4-18

And then we notice another parallel, between Ga7-12 (respectively Kb4-16) and Bb12-1.

Now to H. Once again the glyphs arrive before our key glyph sequence:

Hb12-26 Hb12-27 Hb12-28 Hb12-29 Hb12-30 Hb12-31 Hb12-32

Hb12-33

Hb12-34

Hb12-35

Hb12-36

Hb12-37

Hb12-38

Hb12-39

Hb12-40 Hb12-41 Hb12-42 Hb12-43 Hb12-44 Hb12-45 Hb12-46
Both Barthel and Fischer indicate that there seems to be one destroyed glyph at the end of the text.
Hb12-47 Hb12-48 Hb12-49

There are no parallels in P or Q, these text have run out of space on their tablets. Rei in Hb12-26 comes earlier than hua poporo (as in E and R). We recognize the sequence in for instance Eb6-4--8:

Eb6-4

Eb6-5

Eb6-6

Eb6-7

Eb6-8

Hb12-26 Hb12-27 Hb12-28 Hb12-29 Hb12-30 Hb12-31--32

Our key glyph sequence has no Rei coming after, it comes earlier. And between Rei and the key glyph sequence comes hua poporo.

In A there is only one hua poporo glyph:

Aa1-13

Aa1-14

Aa1-15

There is no Rei glyph before Aa1-13, but niu presumably is parallel to Eb6-5 and Eb12-27.

We must change the question we started from into: Why is there a Rei immediately after the 'fire generators' in G and K? The answer must be: Why not?
