Half 368 = 184 and the singular tagata maitaki (in Qa6-35) apparently is the last glyph of the spring half of the calendar (and his single mata is open as if by a straw):

Qa6-28 Qa6-29 (234) Qa6-30 Qa6-31 Qa6-32 Qa6-33
64 + 234 / 2 = 181 182 183
Qa6-34 Qa6-35 (240)
184
Qa6-36 Qa6-37 Qa6-38 Qa6-39 Qa6-40 Qa6-41
185 186 187

Henua ora in Qa6-40 (where 6 * 40 = 240) seems to be another sign of the spring final. At poporo it has been suggested that the middle vertical line in henua ora is the same type of sign as the 'stem' of poporo glyphs. Maybe it is a picture of a straw. Once upon a time children's games were old memories in action.

Hakaturou in Qa6-36 could allude to 6 * 36 = 216 (= 32 + 184):

66
Qa5-19 Qa5-20 Qa5-21 Qa5-22 Qa6-34 Qa6-35 Qa6-36 Qa6-37
149 150 = 300 / 2 33 184 185
36

Another alternative is to count from a position 5 days (10 glyphs) later than from *Qb5-36 (where 5 * 36 = 180 = 216 - 36). At *Qb6-4 (maybe alluding to 64) a moe with cut-off feet is rising:

...
*Qb5-35 *Qb5-36 *Qb5-37 *Qb5-38 *Qb5-39 *Qb5-40
... ...
*Qb5-41 *Qb5-42 *Qb6-1 *Qb6-2 *Qb6-3 *Qb6-4

Qa6-36--37 will then be in day 180:

66
Qa5-19 Qa5-20 Qa5-21 Qa5-22 Qa6-34 Qa6-35 Qa6-36 Qa6-37
144 = 12 * 12 145 33 179 180 = 242 / 2 + 59
36

At henua ora in Qa6-40 we can imagine 10 times 64 (= 20 * 32), and its day number becomes 182 instead of 187. Counting from *Qb6-4 seems to be a plausible alternative.

At Qa6-30 (where 6 * 30 = 180) the day number will then be 177 and the preceding tagata toki appears to 'generate' a sort of tamaiti (Qa6-31):

Qa6-28 Qa6-29 (234) Qa6-30 Qa6-31 Qa6-32 Qa6-33
59 + 234 / 2 = 176 177 = 6 * 29.5 178
Qa6-34 Qa6-35 (240)
179
Qa6-36 Qa6-37 Qa6-38 Qa6-39 Qa6-40 Qa6-41
180 181 182
