The last period of the G calendar - in which the final glyph of each period is of the type kiore-henua-maro - begins with a variant of ihe tau:

Ga7-5 Ga7-6 Ga7-7 Ga7-8 Ga7-9 Ga7-10

The parallel K period instead has a glyph where marama is the central part:

Kb4-10 Kb4-11 Kb4-12 Kb4-13 Kb4-14

There seems to be a correlation between ihe tau and the final stage of a calendar. The ariki (chief) and henua ora ('recycling station') glyphs which follow support the suggestion that a great season is 'finished'.
