Kara etahi means 'one wing'. And indeed we can see only the left wing, the right wing presumably being hidden from view because the bird has both his face and body in the forward direction.

Possibly the kara etahi type of glyph is a compound between manu rere and vae kore:

manu rere	kara etahi	vae kore

If manu rere means the 'life spirit' which is flying up towards the heavens after a 'year' has ended, and if vae kore refers to the other end of life, when a newborn little 'chicken' just has emerged from his shell, then what could kara etahi possibly mean?

The newborn life has his 'beak' open, ready to eat and grow. Not so manu rere and not so kara etahi. Maybe the middle location in my table above is a 'station' when the 'life spirit' just has entered the body of the new one - the single wing implying that the flight of the spirit must be over. But still the new one has not been 'hatched'

The pointed beak could then refer to the point (tara) when the spirit of life returns.

There are very few kara etahi glyphs and they exhibit no distinct character. The glyph type may be nothing more than an artifact created by me in order to classify glyphs.
