TABLET
My pair of overview structural tables (my 'house', my 'shell') should now be improved. And on side b the Sun dates should be high up and in front: Rae. First (always follows the noun): te tagata ra'e, the first man; (the other ordinal numerals, second, third, etc., precede the noun. Translator's note: ra'e is likely the noun which means forehead, face, in other Polynesian language, e.g. Tahitian rae). Vanaga. 1.

We should here notice that 366 - 212 (total number of glyphs on the D tablet) = 154 = 22 weeks → π. There are 13 days (glyphs) in line Db2 and we will continue with the week below (6 + 7 = 13):
