In Mamari the following three maro glyphs resemble, to a certain degree, the two we have considered in G:

Ca6-24 *Ca14-23 Ga5-15
inverted:
Cb11-18 Gb1-7

*Ca14-23 is special in showing 'feathers' only on the 'outside'. The glyph can possibly be regarded as a combination of maro and nuku:

maro *Ca14-23 nuku

The effect is as if a solid body had intruded in the center, intercepting most of the 'light rays' - as if it was a solar eclipse.

*Ca14-23 is located at winter solstice and at that time sun light is weak. At a certain time all the fires are extinguished in sympathy with the sun.
