We have arrived at the conclusion that Ga4-2, a glyph probably depicting a flying insect (takaśre), is located as the end point of the season which (according to the G text) precedes summer. Together with the preceding tagata (a fully grown season) Ga4-2 may have been referred to as 'haga takaśre':

5 * 30 150 summer
4 * 31 124
Ga4-1 Ga4-2
'haga takaśre'
summer: 148 123
Ga4-3 Gb1-6 Gb5-6

The task is completed. It did not encompass any explanation of why the kuhane station Hanga Takaure is located so close to Poike. The answer to that question must wait until later.

A final note: The neck in Gb5-6 is markedly longer than the neck in Ga4-1. On the other hand is Ga4-1 drawn as a greater figure. These differences are certainly meant to be understood by the reader.
