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):

258 258
Ab1-1 Ab1-2 Ab4-17 Ab4-18 Ab7-25 Ab7-26
1 2 261 1 260 261

To save pages in the main part of the glyph dictionary our examination of Ab4-29 will be done in a series of pages following this hyperlink.
