We have put on the table niu and ariki, they could be glyph types which incorporate hahe signs:

Then we have accepted side b as the 'front' side of Tahua:

side b					side a
117		271		274	183		486
	Ab2-36 (118)		Ab5-66 (390)			Aa3-9 (848)
848 = 16 * 53

Number 53 has entered the stage and I have suggested it is connected with 29.53 (the length of the synodic month). We have encountered 53 earlier, e.g. in G:

	67		111			82
Gb3-1		Gb5-6		Gb8-30	Ga1-1		Ga4-1	Ga4-2
180				85
265 = 5 * 53

I will now also suggest that number 53 has been used in Saturday on purpose:

Hb9-51	Hb9-52	Hb9-53 (465)	Hb9-54
Hb9-55	Hb9-56	Hb9-57	Hb9-58

The vertical disjunction between the two fishes (ikaika) indicates a gap in time. Ordinal number 465 has been counted from Hb1-1. Rei in Hb9-56 is number 468. 468 = 13 * 36 and 46 * 8 = 368 = 468 - 100 and the last day in the calendar of Q.

Having found Rei in Hb9-56 to be possibly alluding to the end of a year with 368 days, it is then easy to connect Hb9-53 with day 365.

9 * 53 = 477 = 177 (= 6 * 29.5) + 300 (= 10 * 30).

If we instead had counted from Ha1-1, Rei in Hb9-56 would have been number 468 + 666 = 1134 = 377 * 3 + 3. We once concluded we had to reduce the ordinal number of the glyphs in H with 3 and then to add 64 days:

Hb9-51	Hb9-52	Hb9-53	Hb9-54	Hb9-55	Hb9-56 (1134)
440			(1134 - 3) / 3 + 64 = 441

Everything is possible, nothing is certain. If we count with 648 instead of 666 glyphs on side a, day 440 will change to day 434. If we count with only the number of visible glyphs (579), then the day number will be 434 - 69 / 3 = 434 - 23 = 411. Or possibly 412 if we do not subtract the 3 glyphs Ha1-1--3.

However, of all the possible readings which immediately present themselves the following seems to carry most weight: 9 * 52 = 468 indicates this number belongs at Hb9-52 rather than to Rei in Hb9-56 (in which case we have to add 3 glyphs instead of subtracting 3 glyphs as on side a). This is necessary in order to give Saturn day 468 and to let the gap between the fishes coincide with the first glyph beyond 468:

Hb9-51	Hb9-52 (468)	Hb9-53	Hb9-54	Hb9-55	Hb9-56

The oddly designed hua poporo which follows presumably then indicates when a new fire is created. It has 5 instead of the normal 4 'droplets' and 9 * 54 = 486 (where 6 and 8 have changed places). Hb9-53 therefore occupies the 18 time units between the end of fire and its new beginning.

This reading does not exclude for instance counting from Ha1-1 and identifying Hb9-53 with day 1044, the easy interpretation based on simply counting those glyphs which are visible. Interestingly, 1044 is looking very much like 440 (= 10 * 44).
