In addition to all what earlier has been said about Ga1-26, mostly about the possible numerical relationships with other glyphs, more should be noted at this point.

We can begin by contemplating Rogo in Gb1-3, which has a hole (and the 'wings' of which maybe are alluded to at the bottom of Ga1-26):

 
Ga1-18 Ga1-26 Gb1-3

A Rogo sign should represent some sort of 'solstice'. But summer solstice, when counted from winter solstice (at Gb6-26), comes much earlier. Not even if we begin counting from Gb8-30 does Gb1-3 arrive in time for summer solstice, it has ordinal number 233.

233 + 182 = 415, and if Gb1-3 by some reason really should be regarded as standing at summer solstice, then winter solstice ought to be around glyph number 415 (counted from Gb8-30):

Gb6-25 Gb6-26 Gb6-27 Gb6-28
408 409 410 411
Gb7-1 Gb7-2 Gb7-3 Gb7-4
412 413 = 14 * 29.5 414 415

Hau tea at Gb7-2 looks like winter solstice because it stands at position 14 * 29.5 (although counted from Rogo in Gb6-26 a new year has already arrived and it is day number 5).

Counted by the moon hau tea in Gb7-2 indeed is at winter solstice, because next day comes a representation of the new year (tamaiti). The symmetries in the table above demand Gb7-2 to be parallel with Gb6-26.
