After having taken care of the 2 'dark toki' there are 12 + 2 = 14 glyphs remaining:

Ea1-8	Ea1-16	Ea1-24	Ea2-1
Ea2-13	Ea2-14 (46 = 100 - 64)	Ea2-15	Ea2-16
Ea2-24	Ea2-25	Ea2-26	Ea2-27 (59 = 123 - 64)
Ea3-1 (66 = 130 - 64)	Ea3-12 (77)

Ea3-1 and Ea3-12 show signs of darkness (though they have 'normal toki' glyphs, not the kind I have labelled 'dark toki'). The tiny hau tea in Ea3-1 has no mata and there is only a single mata at right in Ea3-12, as if a dark time was on its way to end:

7
	Ea3-1	Ea3-2	Ea3-3 (68)	Ea3-4	Ea3-5	Ea3-6
	Ea3-7	Ea3-8	Ea3-9	Ea3-10	Ea3-11

8
	Ea3-12	Ea3-13	Ea3-14	Ea3-15 (80)	Ea3-16	Ea3-17	Ea3-18

Vae in Ea3-13 and the 'midnight henua' in Ea3-15 ('one more' than 3.14 * 100) probably are indicating that once again light will return. 80 + 64 = 12 * 12.

If we return to the beginning of what presumably is a calendar for the year we find a gradual development of the (Sun) toki signs in the first line:

7		7		7
	Ea1-8		Ea1-16		Ea1-24

3 (as the number of tagata toki in line Ea1) is a sign for spring and the person in Ea1-24 is 'eating' (kai). A gap in time is the central sign in Ea1-16 and a turnover (upside down) sign is seen in Ea1-8.

The single rather flat toki at right in Ea1-8 should be in the position when the 'hourglass' is turned upside down. At right in Ea1-16 the same kind of toki is thinner, taller and separated. Its left part is a vero (sky without any light) - the new year is emerging from the 'primal embrace' (where there cannot be any light).

In Ea1-24 the development has lead further. Light has returned (the kai sign) and the central toki in Ea1-16 has changed into a more normal sign. The added sign 'flat at bottom' seen in the 2 toki in Ea1-16 is no longer present in the single toki in Ea1-24.

8 glyphs later, in Ea2-1, a very similar (though not exactly the same) toki is drawn at right, but kai has disappeared and a small toki sign taken its place:

4
	Ea2-1	Ea2-2	Ea2-3	Ea2-4 (36)	Ea2-5	Ea2-6
	Ea2-7	Ea2-8	Ea2-9	Ea2-10	Ea2-11	Ea2-12

The half reversed moe in Ea2-24 seems to indicate a kind of reversal at what could be day 100 (= 36 + 64).

A complex pattern of the autumn generative process presumably is the subject of the remaining tagata toki glyphs:

5
	Ea2-13	Ea2-14 (46)	Ea2-15	Ea2-16	Ea2-17
	Ea2-18	Ea2-19	Ea2-20	Ea2-21	Ea2-22	Ea2-23

6
	Ea2-24	Ea2-25	Ea2-26	Ea2-27 (59)	Ea2-28
	Ea2-29	Ea2-30	Ea2-31	Ea2-32 (64)	Ea2-33

Ihe tau in Ea2-32 obviously is an important 'land mark'. 2 * 32 = 64 and we should compare with Ea1-32 and Ea4-6:

period number 3
7
	Ea1-31	Ea1-32
period number 6
8
	Ea2-32 (64)	Ea2-33
period number 10
10
	Ea4-5	Ea4-6 (106 = 64 + 42)
