Logic forces us to conclude that such vaha kai glyphs as Ha7-35 should indicate head upside down and a location in the south:

Ha7-35

The preceding tahana sign (in Ha7-33) has the same type of undulation at bottom (expressed as a prolongation of the bent leg):

5 223
Ha3-39 Ha3-45 Ha7-33
231 = 7 * 33

The distance from Ha3-39 up to and including Ha7-33 is 231 glyphs, a number which is confirmed by 7 * 33 = 231. In the G text 33 weeks seems to be the measure to the birth (hanau) of the back side:

Ga8-25 Ga8-26 Gb1-1 Gb1-2 (231) Gb1-3

It appears as if the end of the front side comes by being swallowed (the kai gesture in Ha7-33). Maybe the undulation sign (both in vaha kai and in Ha7-33) means the 'waves of the sea'. Beyond high summer comes 'the Flood'.

Counting from tahana in Ha3-45 brings us 6 glyphs further ahead to a glyph where the sign in front could be a downpour:

Ha7-34 Ha7-35 Ha7-36 Ha7-37 Ha7-38 (236) Ha7-39

The following Ha7-39 shows by way of the reversed tapa mea at left that spring is in the past. A new season is being born (hanau), 'personified' by the little hau tea in front which carries no mata. Sun has disappeared.
