The measure for 336 and 364 is 28, but other measures were also used. From Hanga Te Pau (Gb5-12) to the end of the text there are twice 53 glyphs (472 - 366 = 106), indicating a dark time (in contrast to the líght time measured by 28). Counting from glyph number 364 instead, there are twice 54 (= 108) glyphs to the end of the text. By adding 108 (a numinous number) to vae kore at Aa4-71 we can identify what in A corresponds to the end of the text in G (viz. Hanga Takaure). We can do it in two steps, first by adding 100:

   
Ab8-43 (1) Aa4-71 (364) Aa6-4 Aa6-5 Aa6-6 (464) Aa6-7

Both of the twin vae kore glyphs are reversed: Aa6-6 has its body reversed, while Aa6-5 has its head reversed. One looks back and one looks forward.

Aa6-8 Aa6-9 Aa6-10 Aa6-11 Aa6-12 Aa6-13 Aa6-14 (472)
Aa6-15 Aa6-16 Aa6-17 Aa6-18 Aa6-19 Aa6-20 Aa6-21

These strange and complex glyphs together suggest Aa6-14 marks the end of a season. We can e.g. note henua ora in Aa6-15 and moa in Aa6-16 (announcing the arrival of a new season). Probably the time is new year.
