There now remain only the last 5 glyphs on our hipu list:


Ga3-7	Ga7-33

Gb2-27	Gb3-30	Gb4-17	Gb4-30	Gb5-3	Gb5-12

Gb6-18	Gb7-26	Gb8-3	Gb8-6	Gb8-7

But Gb8-3 will not be discussed here, it will be saved until hua. Suffice it to mention that it comes a quarter after Hatinga Te Kohe (445 - 354 = 91).

Gb8-6--7 obviously belong together. They can be explained by referring to 112 (= 4 * 28 = 16 * 7):


Gb8-6 (448)	Gb8-7	Gb8-8	Gb8-9	Gb8-10

Gb8-11	Gb8-12	Gb8-13	Gb8-14	Gb8-15

Gb8-16	Gb8-17	Gb8-18 (460)	Gb8-19	Gb8-20

Gb8-21	Gb8-22	Gb8-23	Gb8-24	Gb8-25

Gb8-26	Gb8-27	Gb8-28	Gb8-29	Gb8-30 (472)

448 = 16 * 28 = 4 * 112, i.e. by using the measure 28 instead of 29.5 there will be 24 glyphs covering the final season. 472 = 16 * 29.5 = 8 * 59 = 4 * 118.

It is a dark time, the sky (ragi) has no sign of the moon, the light from the sun cannot reach her, we can see at right in Gb8-7. At One Tea the last light (life) of the waning moon went away, the 'queen' died.

The two final glyphs (labelled puo by me) stand there like mile-stones:

				21
Gb8-5	Gb8-6 (448)	Gb8-7	Gb8-8	21	Gb8-30 (472)
Gb8-5	*24 = 4 6**

8 * 8 = 64 and 8 * 30 = 240.
