Aa3-26	Aa3-27	Aa3-28
Aa3-29	Aa3-30	Aa3-31	Aa3-32
Aa3-33	Aa3-34	Aa3-35 (210)

Significantly a new sun is emerging and held up high in Aa3-35. A period of birth (maybe 26 / 2 = 13 days long) seems to be over:

	24
Aa3-10 (185)		Aa3-35 (210)
26 / 2 = 13

Tagata (or rather honui) says that a season has ended. His mata ear at left is inclining upwards while his mata at right is of another sort - it is being released like an egg. The form of this 'egg' coincides with the form of the open hole in his abdomen. Aa3-35 must depict midsummer.

From a central position at the top in manu kake ariga erua Sun has descended to his lowest position, central and below the bottom of honui. It looks as if Sun is sinking down between two mountains. His arm in front is making a conspicious bend as if to say that Sun (or rather the closed 'fist' containing his 'fire') is now making a turn upwards.

The high summer reversal entails a sudden change from very hot to cool and pleasant:

"As for the rebirth of the world, another 'Twilight' comes to mind. It is the Kumulipo, a Polynesian cosmogonic myth from Hawaii. 'Although we have the source of all things from chaos, it is a chaos which is simply the wreck and ruin of an earlier world.'

Now turns the swinging of time over on the burnt-out world // Back goes the great turning of things upwards again // As yet sunless the time of shrouded lights; // Unsteady, as in dim moon-shimmer, // From out Makalii's night-dark veil of cloud // Thrills, shadow-like, the prefiguration of the world to be." (Hamlet's Mill)

The 'burnt-out world' possibly refers to the final of 'fire', the end of a solar year. Another interpretation, more in harmony with the rongorongo texts, is the final of 'spring fire'. The latter alternative would pinpoint the time to coincide with midwinter in Hawaii.

The night sky will at winter solstice make a return upwards. Sun, who has only 1 'face', will be reborn then. And he will grow during spring to reach his full stature at summer solstice. Suddenly he then disappears behind rain clouds and this veil (shroud) hides what is happening. He must have gone down.

A star in the night is being born from Mother Earth in the east and ca 180 degrees later on will disappear suddenly as if swallowed by the horizon in the west. This rule has no exception. Therefore it is rational to think that Spring Sun after 180 days must go down. He will make a rendezvous with Mother Earth, a conjunction which results in an 'egg' to be hatched in midwinter.

The 2 + 5 Rei signs probably underline the important regenerative process during these days of 'thrill'.
