I have not listed the strange Ga4-26 among my mama glyphs, but I could easily have done so because of the similarity with Ga2-29 (which I included among the mama because of its rounded bottom):

15
Ga4-23 Ga4-24 Ga4-25 Ga4-26 Ga4-27
mama glyphs
Ga1-16 Ga2-25 Ga2-29 Ga3-23 Ga4-23 Ga4-24
Ga7-3 Gb1-9 Gb1-11 Gb1-14 Gb1-19 Gb2-8
Gb2-10 Gb6-18 Gb8-16

Instead of classifying Ga4-26 as a mama glyph I saw it as an example of niu, which indeed is a more appropriate classification. Though I could also perceive the shape of vaha mea:

niu glyphs
Ga2-29 Ga3-13 Ga4-26 Ga6-5 Gb2-28 Gb3-8 Gb7-25
vaha mea glyphs
Ga1-4 Ga3-4 Ga3-13 Ga4-26 Ga6-5 Gb2-10
Gb2-28 Gb3-8 Gb7-25

My method of classifying glyphs is no exact science and therefore some glyphs will be located in more than one place.

Vaha mea in Gb7-25 we recognize from the kea chapter, where kiore-henua without a growing maro string possibly could mark an opposite point in time as compared to that at vaha mea in Ga4-26:

Gb7-25 Gb7-26 Gb7-27 Gb7-28 Gb7-29
Gb7-30 Gb7-31 Gb8-1 Gb8-2
