From an investigation of three hahe glyphs in Tahua it can be concluded that a hahe glyph of standard form probably was used immediately before the beginning of a new 'year', for instance:

398
Aa3-8 Aa3-9 Aa3-10 Aa7-84 Aa7-85 Aa8-1
400

Another such beginning possibly took place a quarter after high summer had ended:

88
Ab2-40 Ab5-65 Ab5-66 Ab5-67 Ab5-68
240 329 330 (= 5 * 66) 331 332

For indicating the 'year' about to be initiated in what apparently is day 236 (= 8 * 29.5) another type of hahe was used:

Ab2-29 Ab2-30 Ab2-31 Ab2-32 Ab2-33 Ab2-34
Ab2-35 Ab2-36 Ab2-37 Ab2-38 Ab2-39 Ab2-40
