Ab4-29 and Aa4-55 can be defined by Ab4-36 respectively by Aa4-36:

272
Ab4-29 Ab4-30 Ab4-31 Ab4-32
Ab4-33 Ab4-34 Ab4-35 Ab4-36 (280)
670
Aa4-36 (951) Aa4-37
672 = 24 * 28
14 4
Aa4-38 Aa4-39 Aa4-54 Aa4-55 Aa4-60 Aa4-61 (976)
24

672 + 24 = 696 = 24 * 29, the season of light (life, leaf) is over. The 12-day dark period which begins with te pito o te henua (Aa4-38--39) has Aa4-55 as day number 8, a number which implies a new start. 4 * 38 = 8 * 19.

Also Ab4-29 should define a dark day, and 29 is a number which confirms. 273 = 3 * 91 is another such sign, because after 3 quarters the next quarter, the 4th, should lie in the dark. Toes are visible in the forward direction, though, which presumably indicates that spring lies ahead. At sunrise the shadows break (cfr Ab4-36).
