Reviewing what we have seen in H it can be stated that tahana glyphs have to do with the cycle of the sun, and to be more precise, his comings and goings. He is born at winter solstice and changes his habits at summer solstice. From a season of 'leaf' he changes into 'straw'.

Furthermore, tahana glyphs tend to come in pairs (like the two hulls of a canoe). And a construction involving hakaturou is following in the first of the pairs:

 
Ha3-39 Ha3-40 Ha3-45 Ha3-46

Perhaps the sign at right describes rising sun light, or something similar. Because the orientation of this sign seems to be changing at summer solstice:

Ha7-32 Ha7-33 Ha7-34 Ha7-35
Ha7-36 Ha7-37 Ha7-38 Ha7-39

In Tahua, we should remember (see the excursion at hanau), the same type of sign was combined with henua.
