58 "ata popohanga toou e to ata hero e 'Yours is the morning shadow' refers to an area in Ata Hero where the house of Ricardo Hito is now located.

59 "ata ahiahi toou e honu e 'Yours is the evening shadow' belongs to a 'turtle'. I could not obtain any information about the location, but I suspect that the 'turtle' refers to a motif in the narration of Tuki Hakavari (the turtle is carved in stone in a cave along the bay of Apina). The contrasting pair 'morning shadow vs. evening shadow' establishes a definite spatial relationship." (Barthel 2)

The front side (ra'e), which I have suggested to be the temporal opposite (spring, a.m.) of the back side (tu'a) is here expressed as the opposition between 'morning shadow' and 'evening shadow', and the turtle 'owns' the evening shadows (ata ahiahi). Hero means the yellow colour of ripe bananas.

59 is twice 29.5 or the number of nights for a synodic month. In a way 59 therefore marks the end (and new beginning) - exactly the function of the hônu glyph type. Furthermore, Barthel has ordered the 2nd list of place names in parallel with the phases of the moon and there ata ahiahi toou e honu e is in parallel with the beginning of the waning moon. We can compare with how in the E calendar at the beginning of waning sun (period 12) hônu glyphs appear.

Turtles are located both at the beginning of the 1st 'year' and at the beginning of the 2nd 'year'. At the beginning of the 1st 'year' (winter solstice) a new fire will be alighted and therefore a turtle is needed. At the beginning of the 2nd 'year' a turtle must quench the fire (or sun will threaten us with too much heat). In the G calendar we see the same structure - although the 1st 'year' here seems to begin around spring equinox and end around autumn equinox, i.e. the 'years' appear to be defined by equinoxes and not by solstices.
