Tahua has 46 hanau glyphs,
as far as I have been able to ascertain. It is quite impossible
to get a grip on so many in as little room as this dictionary
offers. We will therefore concentrate on only a few of them. 4
of the 46 glyphs indicate what appears to be a time of birth:

 |
Aa4-55 |
Ab1-37 |
Ab3-62 |
Ab4-29 |
We have already looked at Ab1-37, and let us therefore examine
e.g. Ab4-29, which has a reversed tapa mea (with 7
feather marks). A reversed tapa mea indicates a dark
time (likewise the ordinal number 29), quite in
agreement with my idea of birth taking place in the time of darkness. The location
is only a week beyond day 130 (counting 2 glyphs per day):
