Three identical nuku glyphs follow not far thereafter:

Qa3-13 Qa3-14 Qa3-15 Qa3-16 Qa3-17 Qa3-18
Qa3-19 Qa3-20 Qa3-21 Qa3-22 Qa3-23 Qa3-24 (90)

The maro strings hanging down probably indicate the end of the 'nuku season'. The sign of 3 empty hands are repeated by a sign of 3 nuku glyphs with maro strings in front.

Qa3-5 Qa3-6 Qa3-7 Qa3-8 Qa3-9 Qa3-10

The smoothly rounded arms and henua signs indicate another season than the one which will follow (spring). The arms depicted are left arms, female arms.

In all there are 8 maro strings with 4 'fire feathers' each. But hanau in Qa3-23 has another sort with only 3 feathers, and it is probably referring to the birth of spring.

Manu rere in Qa3-14 may depict the 'spirit' of the nuku season leaving.
