Although Tahua
is a long and difficult text it is fairly evident that the
presented internal parallel glyph sequences could describe similar
events in winter respectively summer:
The back sides in Ab7-34 and Aa5-15 resemble that in Eb8-26, and we have parallels also in henua ora glyphs at the beginning of the sequences together with hakaturou variants at the end:
Henua ora glyphs seem to mark the end of calendrical cycles, and therefore we presumably should read about winter solstice (Eb8-20--26 and Ab7-33--39) respectively summer solstice (Aa5-14--15). Ab7-36 could represent the old and new years - which of course cannot occur at summer solstice, where only the old half-year meets the new half-year. |
