Our primary object of investigation has become the text of Small Santiago Tablet (G), because the excursion at haga rave has established its main structure. We know that each one of the 365 first glyphs represents one day. We know that several different measurements of the length of the year were used and we know how the calendar was constructed to meet these multiple purposes.

We also know where summer begins (according to the calendar), and we know that Ga1-1 should be counted twice in order to reach the intended text length of 16 * 29.5 = 472 glyphs. But we do not know what is documented beyond the point in the text where the days of the year are finished, what lies beyond haga te pau.

In order to push forward with the investigation of the structure of G and at the same time use the establised main structure of its text, we will here look at how henua glyphs are distributed and how they have been used, in other words what function they have.
