There are variants of the pu type of glyph. Among those pu which appear in the A text we can distinguish between a pair of basic forms:

325

94

Aa5-12 (345)

419

Ab2-13 (95)

119

2

308

117

Ab3-48 (215)

Ab3-51 (218)

Ab7-31 (527)

Ab8-65 (645)

A wealth of allusions could be hidden here (among some illusions). For instance could the 4 lesser pu glyphs possibly correspond to leading star positions and the pair of greater pu glyphs possibly refer to daytime cardinal points.

To mind comes the difference in the C text between the great rakau stars up in the sky which are in contrast to the toromiro tree down on Easter Island (marked with a dot in order to draw attention and likewise with a Capital letter by Metoro):

The heliacal star Menkalinan is followed by Rigel and Capella close to the Full Moon in December 7 (341 = 181 + 160). This was perhaps where the Rigel year was beginning, i.e. in June 7 about 23 days after the Pleiades and a week before.Sirius.

The toromiro tree growing down in the waters (of Rano Kau) - kua noho te vai -

was preceded 6 days earlier by the king-making glyph (haka-ariki):

The A text and the G text seem to agree that number 160 (= 225 - 65 = 341 - 181) was Significant.

We should remember that day 225 (= 160 + 65) was August 13 and that here was the Creation of our present world.

In August 13 (365 + 225 = 590 = 20 * 29½) the star Alphekka Meridiana culminated (at 21h);

... On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year. Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year are used in setting dates for religious and agricultural ceremonies, especially when those rituals fall at the same time in both calendars. The ceremony begins when the diviners go to a sacred spring where they choose five stones with the proper shape and color. These stones will mark the five positions of the sacred cosmogram created by the ritual. When the stones are brought back to the ceremonial house, two diviners start the ritual by placing the stones on a table in a careful pattern that reproduces the schematic of the universe. At the same time, helpers under the table replace last year's diagram with the new one. They believe that by placing the cosmic diagram under the base of God at the center of the world they demonstrate that God dominates the universe. The priests place the stones in a very particular order. First the stone that corresponds to the sun in the eastern, sunrise position of summer solstice is set down; then the stone corresponding to the western, sunset position of the same solstice. This is followed by stones representing the western, sunset position of the winter solstice, then its eastern, sunrise position. Together these four stones form a square. They sit at the four corners of the square just as we saw in the Creation story from the Classic period and in the Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is placed to form the ancient five-point sign modern researchers called the quincunx ...

Vega had the position of Eve ('a.m.') compared to Alpekka Meridiana (α Corona Australis) in the following Day ('p.m.') - thus in a pattern similar to that of the current star at the north pole (Polaris) with the First Point of Aries in the following day.
