To begin with the text of G, our usual point of departure, we look in vain for any honui glyphs. The same goes for the K text. But there are (in G, not in K) honu glyphs with holes in them.

I do not expect the meaning of such honu glyphs to be equal to that of honui glyphs. Tagata, the fundamental type from which the honui type seems to have evolved, is quite different from honu.

It may, however, be a good idea to investigate the honu glyphs in G as a kind of prelude to the honui glyph type. Honu came early in this dictionary, and now we have more experience to rely upon. If this investigation will make clear what honu stands for, and also why some of them have holes, then it ought to be easier to compare honui glyphs with such honu glyphs which have holes.

Said and done. These are the 30 honu glyphs in G:

Ga3-12	Ga4-2	Ga4-11	Ga5-10	Ga5-12	Ga5-14
Ga5-22	Ga5-25	Ga5-28	Ga6-12	Ga6-24	Ga7-11
Ga7-25	Ga7-26	Ga7-29	Gb1-3	Gb2-19	Gb2-34
Gb3-1	Gb3-4	Gb3-5	Gb3-10	Gb3-15	Gb4-4
Gb4-7	Gb6-8	Gb6-10	Gb6-26	Gb7-3	Gb8-17

I have redmarked 17 of them. The rest (13) I consider as different, to be discussed under takaure, tamaiti, respectively hakaua:

takaure	tamaiti	hakaua

To save space in the main part of the dictionary the investigation into honu in G will be done in the pages to which this link leads.
