GD49
 haati Although Metoro said kava at GD49 glyphs more often than haati (or hati, haaati), he said kava twice as frequently at glyphs of the kava glyph type. Therefore it was labelled kava, while this glyph type has been labelled haati.

A few preliminary remarks and imaginations:

1. The picture in the haati glyphs possibly is meant to show a kind of stylized leg:

vae haati

Pa1-17 has a variant of haati as its main element but in the parallel glyph Ha1-18 vae is the main element:

Pa1-10 Pa1-11 Pa1-12 Pa1-13 Pa1-14 Pa1-15
Ha1-11 Ha1-12 Ha1-13 Ha1-14 Ha1-15 Ha1-16
Pa1-16 Pa1-17 Pa1-18 Pa1-19 Pa1-20 Pa1-21
Ha1-17 Ha1-18 Ha1-19 Ha1-20 Ha1-21 Ha1-22

The surrounding glyphs indicate, however, that the meaning of Pa1-17 probably differs from the meaning of Ha1-18. At most a general similarity in meaning can therefore be expected.
