Next step naturally is to investigate if also side a of G could cover the whole year, if also in the G text we should count two days per glyph. The major kuhane stations on side a would then (as before) be:

5. Te Kioe Uri (118)
Ga2-27 Ga2-28 Ga2-29
3. Te Poko Uri (236)
Ga5-6 Ga5-7 Ga5-8
1. Nga Kope Ririva (384)
Ga7-6 Ga7-7 Ga7-8

But the distances between kuhane stations would not be 29.5 but 59 days, and sun will leave at Nga Kope Ririva after 384 days. Te Kioe Uri would mark the end of the dark time - appropriately named as the time of the Black Rat.

And the calendar would be divided into tertials:

sun barred 1st half of sun present 2nd half of sun present
Te Kioe Uri (118) Te Poko Uri (236) Nga Kope Ririva (384)

In order to keep the rule of 60 days beyond winter solstice before sun reappears the first half of Te Kioe Uri must be located before winter solstice - the calendar will begin (and end) 2 months before winter solstice. Once they regarded the year to have only 10 months.

And then the last of the excursion pages:

But side a of G has more glyphs than those 192 for the whole K text, viz. 230 counted from Gb8-30. The whole line Ga8 has no parallel in K, which explains 26 glyphs = 52 days of the difference. 230 - 26 = 204, and we must find 12 more glyphs outside the K text. Let us therefore locate glyph number 192 in G:

Ga7-15 Ga7-16 Ga7-17
Ga7-18 Ga7-19 Ga7-20 Ga7-21
Ga7-22 (192) Ga7-23 Ga7-24 Ga7-25 Ga7-26
Ga7-27 Ga7-28 Ga7-29 Ga7-30 (200) Ga7-31

The two Rei glyphs define beginnings of seasons and they fit nicely with ika hiku (3 limbs at right) at position 5 beyond 192. Counting 2 days per glyph we find day number 400 at Ga7-30.

There are 16 'feathers' on haś (Ga7-23), and 16 * 12 = 192. In Ga7-24 we can count 7 * 24 = 168, and at left in Ga7-25 we have a 'limb' with 6 + 6 = 12 'feathers'. In Ga7-28 the 'lights' ('eyes') - symmetrically located - on hau tea have gone out. The last of the light presumably is referred to by 7 * 28 = 196, i.e. at Ga7-26 (immediately before ika hiku).

22 in Ga7-22 suggests the multiples of 22 which we found in K, and which have been explained as referring to π. Here even the other needed component is given, π = 22 / 7. Only once on side a can it be expressed so clearly.

The curve at the top of Ga7-30 presumably means the end of the evolution. These 7 peculiar glyphs definitely are connected with the following Rei glyphs:

 
Ga7-21 Ga7-22 (192) Ga8-4 Ga8-9
Ga7-30 (200) Ga7-31 Ga8-12 Ga8-15
Ga7-34 Ga8-1

Rei at 192 is the end glyph, a π glyph, a point of zero, a point of beginning. Ga7-21 has a person running back in time.

Sun at winter solstice should be correlated with full moon. If we number Ga7-22 as 15, haś in Ga7-23 will have number 16, equal to its number of 'feathers':

Ga7-22 (192) Ga7-23 Ga7-24 Ga7-25 Ga7-26
15 16 17 18 19
Ga7-27 Ga7-28 Ga7-29 Ga7-30 (200) Ga7-31
20 21 22 23 24

Ga7-30 will be the last glyph before next point zero, viz. 24. Both Ga7-22 and Ga7-31 are located at a beginning. In between are 8 glyphs.

These 8 glyphs could very well be parallel with Kb4-12--19:

Kb4-10 Kb4-11 Kb4-12 Kb4-13 Kb4-14 (167)
Ga7-21 Ga7-22 (192) Ga7-23 Ga7-24 Ga7-25
Kb4-15 Kb4-16 Kb4-17 (170) Kb4-18 Kb4-19
Ga7-26 Ga7-27 Ga7-28 Ga7-29 Ga7-30 (200)

Redmarked are two obvious examples of connections. Ika hiku (Kb4-16 and Ga7-27) both have 4 limbs at left and 3 at right. Maitaki (Kb4-13 and Ga7-24) at right have signs of 'giving away'.

Kb4-10 and Ga7-21 both illustrate moving away, Kb4-10 as if lifting on two wings, Ga7-21 as if running into the past.

Kb4-11 and Ga7-22 are 'zero'-glyphs. 7-22 obviously refers to 22 / 7 = 3.14 and 4-11 could indicate 2 * 3.14 = 44 / 7. Two wings in Kb4-10 agrees with 2 * 22.

Ariki in Kb4-11 is drawn without any gap in the circumference, he is like a fully loaded and potent closed fist (or nut), ready for the 'recycling station' at Kb4-12.

In Kb4-19 the 'head' of the ariki has given 'birth' to next generation. In Ga7-30 the left 'eye' (nut) has gone, but at right next generation is coming.

... Whereas, over the next two days, Lono plays the part of the sacrifice. The Makahiki effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite watched over by the king's 'living god', Kahoali'i or 'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who is also known as 'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the king as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of the victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice (condensed symbolic trace of the cannibalistic 'stranger-king') ...

In the 'shield' of the sun at right in Kb4-17 the old part is at the top and diminishing (>), while next generation comes at the bottom and is increasing (<).

It is closer between the top two wedges in mea ke, which I guess indicates the sun, based on the same phenomenon in Qa2-133:

Kb4-17 Qa2-133

In Kb4-12 the left part (past) is broader than the right part (future). A broken henua at bottom is not really broken, it just turns sharply downwards. The left part mirrors the left part in the 'shield' - it is greater and not smaller.
