Earlier (at tagata) we have translated takaśre as some kind of flying insect (fly, horse-fly), and shown how a certain type of glyph according to Metoro was associated with insects of different kinds:

Ca6-15 Eb7-20 Eb7-34 Eb7-25 Bb6-31 Eb7-30
kua aha te takaure te takaure te takaure te veveke mau veveke te koka

After searching through all the glyphs catalogized as honu by me (in the G text) I can state that the following 6 also are takaure glyphs (as I have decided to name them):

Ga4-2 Gb2-34 Gb3-1 Gb3-4 Gb3-5 Gb4-4

The last one (Gb4-4) is slightly differently designed than the rest, but I have found that it indeed belongs to the group. The 'proof' will be delivered soon. Here it is enough to point at the peculiar 'ear' (at left from us seen) which it shares with Gb3-4.
