I have tried to document, in the glyph dictionary, the main points discovered:

In the last line of Aruku Kurenga (B) there is a vae glyph of the same kind as in Aa1-15:

 

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

The season is the end of the year here too, which can be recognized e.g. by Bb12-5 resembling Ga7-14:

Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14

The end of the year is the phase before the arrival of new light, and Bb12-13--18 is a sequence parallel to Ka3-8--13:

Ka3-8

Ka3-9

Ka3-10

Ka3-11

Ka3-12

Ka3-13

Bb12-26 resembles the left part of Aa1-15 not only in the design of the glyph but also in its location - at the end of the year.

Although there are 19 more glyphs following Bb12-26, until the end of side b is reached, Bb12-26 anyhow stands at an end. Support for this statement is found at the end of H, where the text is parallel to Bb12-11--26.

Both Barthel and Fischer indicate that there seems to be a destroyed glyph at the end of the H text. Possibly it was a vae glyph.

But even if there never was any glyph later than Hb12-49 (and also if there was a glyph there but not a vae glyph) the parallel glyph sequences together indicate how Bb12-26 corresponds to the end of a common text.
Bb12-26
...

I could have referred also to how there is an obvious break in the text of R between Ra5-215 and Ra5-216:

...
Ra5-201 Ra5-202
Ra5-203 Ra5-204 Ra5-205 Ra5-206 Ra5-207
Ra5-208 Ra5-209 Ra5-210 Ra5-211
Ra5-212 Ra5-213 Ra5-214 Ra5-215
Ra5-216 Ra5-217 Ra5-218 Ra5-219 Ra5-220

There is some resemblance with the end of the H text:

Hb12-40 Hb12-41 Hb12-42 Hb12-43 Hb12-44 Hb12-45
Bb12-19 Bb12-20 Bb12-21 Bb12-22 Bb12-23

Bb12-24 Bb12-25 Bb12-26 Bb12-27

I decided against mentioning the possible parallel in R, it is complicated already.

The parallels listed by me do not include any glyph sequence from A, i.e. I could not find enough evidence of a parallel to present it together with the other 5 texts above.

Nevertheless, R and A have much in common.
