We are now ready to investigate why hua poporo is located in the middle of the summer, according to the calendars in G and K:

7					7
7	Ga4-1	Ga4-2	Ga4-3	Ga4-4	7	Ka4-16	Ka5-1
8			The triplet of periods has 8 respectively 6 glyphs, i.e. sun numbers. 7+8+9 = 24		8
8	Ga4-5	Ga4-6			8	Ka5-2	Ka5-3
9					9
9	Ga4-7	Ga4-8			9	Ka5-4	Ka5-5

Sun has its midsummer turning around point (we remember) located between period 9 and 10:

G	period no.	number of glyphs
	1, 2, 3	8 + 4 + 7 = 19	35	19
	4, 5, 6	3 + 2 + 3 = 8		27
	7, 8, 9	4 + 2 + 2 = 8		35
	10, 11, 12	2 + 3 + 2 = 7	35	42
	13, 14, 15	4 + 3 + 5 = 12		54
	16, 17, 18	3 + 6 + 7 = 16		70

K	period no.	number of glyphs
	1, 2, 3	7 + 3 + 4 = 14	28	14
	4, 5, 6	3 + 2 + 3 = 8		22
	7, 8, 9	2 + 2 + 2 = 6		28
	10, 11, 12	2 + 3 + 2 = 7	*28	35
	13, 14, 15	3 + 2 + 3 = 8		43
	16	*13		*56

The question now raised is crucial. Hua poporo - up to now - has appeared to be connected with the arrival of the 'wet' season and with autumn equinox, or - alternatively - with the arrival of new year at winter solstice. Why should there be 'black drops' as if from tears at midsummer? Answers will be given following this hyperlink.
