On your back side you cannot see and you have to grope (haha).

Metoro's poporo seems to point forward (if we read popo-ro as raindrops) - to the coming tu'a side. The hua part (of his hua poporo), on the other hand, points in the other direction - to the time when sun is enabling the fruits to ripen. Therefore, the glyphs seem to tell about breadfruit rather than nightshade (if there were only two alternatives to choose from).

Ga4-7 and Ca1-20 have no 'fruits', because the solar 'breadfruit stem' is not there. Instead a lunar 'thread' tells about the tu'a time. First comes a hua season, then a tu'a season.

Comparing Ga4-7 with Ka5-4 we can see the shape of the moon at bottom right in Ga4-7 while in Ka5-4 the moon crescent is located at left. At left in Ga4-7 we instead find the solar 'breadfruit stem'. Both sun and moon are referred to in the texts, though while in G focus still is on the sun the text in K has focus on the arrival of the moon (tu'a) season.

The 'berries' in the hua poporo glyphs indicate how the 'fruits' are ripe for harvest, they will fall and a new dark season will enter (popo). The 'balls' (popo) announce the coming drops. Maybe - as if by sympathetic magic - the fruits will fall with the rain.
