I remember a comment by Bishop Jaussen:
... A une certaine
saison, on amassait des vivres, on faissait fête. On
emmaillottait un corail, pierre de defunt lézard, on
l'enterrait, tanu. Cette cérémonie était un point de
départ pour beaucoup d'affaires, notamment de vacances pour le
chant des tablettes ou de la prière, tanu i te tau moko o
tana pure,
enterrer
la pierre sépulcrale du lézard de sa prière ...
By looking at the page referred to in my link above we can find
a glyph in the A text which can be compared with Da2-3:
|
|
|
Da2-3 (23 →
39 - 16) |
Aa8-46 (585 + 46 = 631 = 13
* 45 + 46) |

(168
→
184 - 16) |
kua
viri ia |
BETELGEUZE
(*88 → *104 - *16) |
631 is the mirror image of 136 |
Once upon a time I classified both these glyphs as variants of viri
and the figure in Da2-3 will thus evidently be facing backwards
- there is no forward path because in that direction flows the
Milky Way river.
And 168 (June 17) + 16 = 184 (July 3) seems to be at the 'youngster'
depicted in Da3-3 (39 = Db2-3 + 16):

The referred to A text seems to descibe not a point in time for the
burial of the moko stone lizard but a number of days. Metoro told Bishop Jaussen
he should count (hia)
at this burial site (Aa8-48):
|
|
|
|
|
Aa8-45 |
Aa8-46 (631) |
Aa8-47 |
Aa8-48 |
Aa8-49 |
ki te henua kua maga ia ki te henua |
kua viri ia |
ki te maitaki |
tanu hia e te tau moko o tona pure |
kua oho ia te maitaki |
|
|
|
|
|
Aa8-50 |
Aa8-51 |
Aa8-52 |
Aa8-53 |
Aa8-54 |
te tanuga o te tau moko o tona pure |
te hau tea |
o te tagata kua mau ia - i tona mea |
te maitaki |
kua rere te manu - te hau tea - ma to maro |
We could reverse 631 into 136 (→ Alcyone in the Pleiades) and 633 would then offer for instance the interpretation 336 (December 2) = 2 * 168 = 136 + 200.
