Already before having read Fornander I had arrived at the conclusion that ariki probably is a word which is related to Latin Rex, etc. Whatever a in ariki means it is certain that ariki means king. It would not surprise me, though, if this suffix means 'son of', i.e. a-riki = 'son to a regent' (cfr a in e.g. Hotu A Matua). In Polynesia the eldest son of a king is predestined to become a king in due time. Ata-riki, can possibly be understood as the king of the shadows (ata). But a shadow cannot exist in utter darkness, and therefore we must go beyond those incredibly dark 58 nights at the very beginning. The meaning of ata is close to what we have learnt about moe glyphs - they are located inside the 'threshold' to the 'room' of the new light. Although the new luminant still is below the horizon its light can be perceived, and therefore also shadows. Ga1-24 comes not far after moe in Ga1-20:
The tip of the beak of moe may have induced the creator of the text to draw the preceding marama with a similar but opposite 'nose'. We ought to rearrange the table into 10 glyphs:
