Gb2-27 is located as the first glyph at Hua Reva:

Gb2-27 Gb2-28 Gb2-29 (285) Gb2-30 Gb2-31

Gb3-30, hoea with a little pau sign at bottom right, comes at the 11th station, Akahanga:

Gb3-27 Gb3-28 (319 = 11 * 29) Gb3-29 Gb3-30 Gb4-1

Gb4-17 is located in the midst among glyphs describing the end of the 'burial':

Gb4-13 (334) Gb4-14 Gb4-15 Gb4-16
Gb4-17 Gb4-18 Gb4-19 Gb4-20 (341 = 11 * 31)
Gb4-21 Gb4-22 Gb4-23 (344)

4-13 (in Gb4-13) presumably alludes to 4 * 13 = 52 weeks in a year, and we can see what can be read as a hipu sign at bottom right. It is - like the hipu sign in Ga7-33 - a 'closed fist' on its way down.

334 = 2 * 167 is no coincidence. 167 is one less than 168 (= 7 * 24), and counting twice 168 we arrive at the magnificent manu rere in Gb4-15 (where 4 * 15 = 60, the number of days in a solar double-month). Its ordinal number is 336.

Gb4-14 has ordinal number 335 = 5 * 67, and we should immediately remember Ga3-7 (with the identical magnificent manu rere at right, at position 68):

266
Ga3-6 (66) Ga3-7 Ga3-8 Gb4-14 Gb4-15 (336)
4 * 67 = 268

A square with 67 days on each side measures the difference between 300 and 4 * 8 = 32. Gb4-14 can then be compared with Ga4-14:

236 = 8 * 29.5
Ga4-14 (98) Gb4-14 (335)

First comes 32 days of spring growth (Ga3-7 -- Ga4-14), where 32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2. Then follows 8 lunar synodic months.

Hipu in Gb4-17 is a 'ghost', it cannot contain anything living because its outline is not closed. It is like a Christmas sock emptied of its contents, still hanging there in the fireplace. Its ordinal number is 338 = 13 * 26.

The two months (338 - 282 = 2 * 28 days) from hipu in Gb2-27 up to and including its emtpy 'carcass' in Gb4-17 describe the events in Hua Reva and Akahanga.
