If a 'person' is falling on his face, we know it means we cannot see his face (mata) any longer - he is finished. A 'person' inhabiting the dark side, on the other side, should fall in another way at the point of his 'finish'. He should fall with the back of his head against the ground. Mutu is the opposite of mata, I guess.

Mutu

1. Cut short, shortened, amputated; at an end, ceased; anything cut off short; short, brief, quick (rare). Ua muku ko'u lole, my dress is shortened. He kanaka wāwae muku, a person with amputated foot. Huli muku a'ela nā wa'a, the canoes turned sharply. (PPN mutu.) 2. A measure of length from fingertips of one hand to the elbow of the other arm, when both arms are extended to the side. 3. Broken section of a wave or crest. See lala 1. 4. Same as Mumuku, a wind. 5. Thirtieth night of the moon, when it has entirely disappeared (muku). 6. Starboard ends of 'iako (outrigger booms), hence starboard sides of a canoe. Wehewehe.

The front arm of rona in Ra2-9 has 3 fingers, while his back side hand is empty. Spring lies in front, winter in the past.

If we begin counting from the last glyph on side b (even if we cannot see it), and given that I have counted glyph line Ra1 right (as 25 more or less visible glyphs + 5 missing glyphs), then Ra2-9 could be number 40. This number (4 times 10) is congruent with those 4 which according to the Hawaiian moon calendar belong in the next month:

26 Kane

27 Lono

28 Mauli

29 Muku

Tane (Kane) is the god who will raise the sky roof high and the other 3 are possibly needed in order to keep it so. Though they are not strong enough, it seems, because the process needs to be repeated again at the beginning of each new light cycle. In the 2nd list of place names the quartet seems to correspond to the end of page 39 in Manuscript E:

26	*ko te hakarava a hakanohonoho.*
27	*ko hanga nui a te papa tata ika.*
28	*ko tongariki a henga eha tunu kioe hakaputiti.ai*
	*ka haka punenenene henua mo opoopo o tau kioe*
29	*ko te rano a raraku.*

Hakarava in item 26 could be a sign of Tane, the spring maker. We must here take the opportunity to enlarge (hakarava) our insight into the 'sacred' geography of the island.
