If there is a pattern 531 + 400 + 365 = 1296 glyphs embedded in the text of H, then the first glyph of the last 365 should be mauga in Hb6-30 (where 6 * 30 = 180 is a promising sign - it could mean Sun is once again the subject):

Hb6-26 Hb6-27 Hb6-28 Hb6-29 (931) Hb6-30 (1) Hb6-31

If the source of light in the sky is hidden behind a 'mountain', it could explain the 'feathers' in the background, and the preceding mea ke could illustrate the total darkness after all the fires (including old Sun) were extinguished (at winter soltice).

The parallel text of Q is ending here, and only the upper parts of the glyphs are visible:

*Qb9-7 *Qb9-8 *Qb9-9 *Qb9-10 *Qb9-11 *Qb9-12 (736)
62 63 (736 - 608) / 2 = 64

It does not mean that the bottom parts have been erased by the forces of time, but probably the glyphs have been intentionaly drawn like this. The 'proof' is that hetuu in *Qb9-9 is visible in full. Its glyph number is 733, which could be a sign. For instance, is 73 * 3 = 219 or 60 % of 365. 733 is also equal to 533 (the glyph number of the vanishing pare in Ha10-31) + 200. However, 7 * 33 = 231 may be the best guess, in which case 736 should be 'translated' in 500 + 236.

The overall structure of Q has been mapped (cfr at ariga erua), and a break in time is visible between *Qb5-35 and *Qb5-36:

*Qb5-33 *Qb5-34 (608) *Qb5-35 *Qb5-36
day 368 = 608 / 2 + 64 day 1 (= 369 - 368)

With 5 * 35 = 175 and 5 * 36 = 180 it could mean that the point of 'breaking' (hatiga) is defined by a measure of 6 lunar months (177 days). If the kuhane stations cover half a month each, then this pattern agrees with Hatinga Te Kohe as station number 12.

369 - 177 = 192. Or if we count 368 - 177 = 191 (which maybe means we should add 1 day in the same way as we often add Gb8-30 to the beginning of the front side).

Glyph number 2 * 192 = 384 (counted from *Qb5-36) could end the first (192 day long) part of the cycle. There are 736 - 609 = 127 glyphs beyond *Qb5-35. Glyph number 384 - 127 = 257 counted from the beginning of side a should then be in day 192. It is *Qa7-3:

*Qa7-1 *Qa7-2 *Qa7-3 (257) *Qa7-4 *Qa7-5 *Qa7-6

257 / 2 + 63½ = 192. The parallel glyph in H is *Ha7-22 (where we can read 22 / 7 = π) and where the day number possibly is 366 / 3 + 59 = 181:

*Ha7-20 *Ha7-21 *Ha7-22 (366) *Ha7-23 *Ha7-24 *Ha7-25

When glyphs are 'parallel' it does not mean they automatically will share the same glyph numbers nor the same day numbers, because the space on the tablets are not equal, and the creators of the texts evidently were creative artists capable of shaping original structures.

Maybe, even, they used the same 'melody' not only in different 'keys' but also with different 'texts'. The 'hair' is flowing backwards in *Ha7-23 but forward in *Qa7-4. Although the nuku signs in *Qa7-6 and *Ha7-25 are drawn exactly the same there are 2 mea ke 'chevrons' in Q but 3 in H. Capricorn is the goat at winter solstice, goats climb in trees.

"chevron ... mark of officer's rank ... (O)F. chevron = Pr. cabrion, Sp. cabrio, rafter, chevron, long-service stripe ... Rom. *capriōne, f. caper goat, corr. to ON. hafr he-goat; cf. Sp. cabriol rafter ... L. capreolus (dim. of caper), the pl. of which was applied to two pieces of wood inclined like rafters." (English Etymology)

Maybe 3 'chevrons' are needed to indicate winter solstice. Tagata in *Ha7-22 is drawn en face, but not tagata in *Qa7-3. But the 'baby' in *Qa7-3 is en face, and he has 3 'feathers' at left and 2 at right. The preceding glyph has ordinal number 256 = 8 * 32. If we divide by 2 it becomes day number 128, or with 64 added day number 192 = 6 * 32.
