If there is truth in what has been written so far, then we can compare the text to a Swiss pocketknife - it is a multipurpose tool because of limited space (in the pocket respectively on the tablet). Keiti is a name which could mean ké iti (the other, little one).

To unravel its different uses it is necessary to begin with the most easily understood potentialities.

1. There are 24 periods and each period can be used as a reference to half a month. If so, then each such half month can have 15 days. 24 * 15 = 360.

2. By using the centrally located mauga as a reference point it is possible to establish two halves, the 1st half beginning with the first glyph in the first period and ending with the central mauga:

1st half			2nd half
	73			73
Eb1-37		Eb4-4	Eb4-5		Eb6-2
1		75	1		75

73 = 365 / 5 and we can therefore imagine this section of the 'multipurpose tool' to cover ca 2 / 5 of the year (150 days), the best part of the summer half-year. Alternatively - and better - we can let each glyph cover 2 days, and then we can use the glyphs to cover 300 days, leaving the darkest part of the year aside. Anciently the Polynesians counted with only 10 months.
