There are 4 moe glyphs in G, of the sort which is characterized by a body formed like reversed S. The 4th member of the group has another head, though:

 
155 169 33 27 84
Ga6-6 (147) Gb3-12 (303) Ga2-3 (34) Ga3-2 (62)
360 28

It comes 4 weeks beyond Ga2-3 and significantly is 'spewing out' the season of henua, located as it is in the 1st of the periods:

1
Ga2-27 Ga2-28 Ga2-29 Ga3-1
Ga3-2 (62) Ga3-3 Ga3-4 Ga3-5

We can compare with Aa6-66, where the opposite of the henua season, viz. the season of ua (rain), is coming forth:

Aa6-64 Aa6-65 Aa6-66 Aa6-67 Aa6-68 Aa6-69 Aa6-70

The order between these glyphs and the accompanying moa glyphs is reversed: In Ga3-3 it comes after, but in Aa6-64 it comes before (the characters of the seasons are opposite - increasing sun respectively decreasing sun). Moa in Ga3-3 is formed like a flame, like a reversed S.  But moa in Aa6-64 is another character in every respect.

 

The parallel to the 1st period of the henua season is in Tahua located on side b:

Ab4-15 Ab4-16 Ab4-17 Ab4-18 Ab4-19 Ab4-20

4 * 18 = 72 = 2 * 36.

6 * 66 = 396 = 2 * 198 = 22 * 18 = 11 * 36.

396 - 72 = 324 = 9 * 36. (And 11 * 29.5 = 324.5 = Akahanga.)

side b (664) side a (670)
261 402 481 188
Ab4-18 (262) Aa6-66 (482)
262 884
1334

The distances are all multiples of 2, a sign that 2 glyphs are needed for a day. 884 glyphs = 442 days and 262 + 188 = 450 glyphs = 225 (= 9 * 25) days, i.e. 667 days in all:

442 224
Ab4-18 (131) Aa6-66 (332 + 241 = 573)

442 + 224 = 666. 442 = 17 * 26 and 224 = 8 * 28.

442 measures the sun and 224 measures the moon:

side b (664)
260 400
Ab4-17 Ab4-18 Ab4-19 Ab4-20
130 days 131-132 200

Niu at Ab4-17 has number 261 = 9 * 29.

332 days on side b + 240 days on side a = 572 days (where 5 * 72 = 360).

95 (= 5 * 19) days remain on side a:

side a (670)
480 188
Aa6-65 Aa6-66 (1146)
240 day 573 94
95

Day number 573 should be regarded as either number 1 or as number  zero of the moon. She has both the end of side a and the beginning of side b:

188 260
Aa6-65 Aa6-66 (1146)
day 0 94 130
224 = 8 * 28

Sun has 442 days at the end of side b and at the beginning of side a:

400 480
Ab4-17 Ab4-18 Ab4-19 Ab4-20
days 131-132 200 240
442 = 17 * 26

We should recognize 442 as equal to 15 * 29.5 = 442.5, i.e. One Tea, and by counting from Ga1-1 glyph number 442 becomes Gb8-1:

Gb8-1 (442) Gb8-2 Gb8-3 Gb8-4 Gb8-5

The two heads in Gb8-1 indicate '2', and in A these '2' probably are equal to days number 131-132 (Ab4-17--20).

I decide to add an excursion at the end of moe.
