What could possibly come beyond these 9 glyphs?

Aa2-28 Aa2-29 Aa2-30 (120)
i areheu ia ka heheu i te nuku

At Aa2-28 Metoro said areheu which maybe means 'dig out the offspring':

Are

To dig out (e.g. sweet potatoes). Formerly this term only applied to women, speaking of men one said keri, which term is used nowadays for both sexes, e.g. he-keri i te kumara, he digs out sweet potatoes. Vanaga.

To dig, to excavate. Churchill.

Are occurs in 13 Roto Iri Are:

Aa2-8
13 Roto Iri Are

Next station is 14 Tama and Aa2-28 is 20 glyphs beyond Aa2-8.

Heu

Offspring of parents from two different tribes, person of mixed descent, e.g. father Miru, mother Tupahotu. Heuheu, body hair (except genitals and armpits). Vanaga.

1. Heheu; ivi heheu, the cachalot, bone needle; hakaheu, spade, to shovel, to grub up, to scratch the ground, to labor; rava hakaheu, laborious, toilsome. 2. Hakaheu, affair. Churchill.

M. Heu, to separate, to pull asunder; the eaves of a house; heu, a single hair; hau. to hew; heru, to comb; huru, hair on the body; down; feathers; maheu, scattered; maheuheu, shrubs; mahuru, scrub; heuea, to be separated. Text Centre.

The location 2-28 could allude to day number 228, because the unusual glyph type occurs at the beginning of side b in G:

Ga8-24 (228) Ga8-25 Ga8-26 Gb1-1 Gb1-2 Gb1-3
Gb1-4 Gb1-5 Gb1-6
Gb1-7 Gb1-8 Gb1-9 Gb1-10 (240) Gb1-11 Gb1-12

8 * 24 = 192 and Ga8-24 is a hanau glyph. To 'dig out the offspring' sounds quite similar to 'birth'.

Beyond the darkest time of the year comes Rogo and a new year is born. A similar situation rules at the end of the lightest time of the year.
