Returning now to our basic mama table we can restate how there is a difference in kind between the elongated mama glyphs and mama glyphs with a more rounded shape:
If the pair of elongated mama in Ga4-23--24 should refer to a cool Moon leaving, then the single mama in Ga7-3 could refer to a 'cool' Sun leaving, i.e. he has fallen into the sea or been transformed into ashes:
173 + 60 = 233 can allude to Gb1-3:
The shape of a tao glyph could describe a canoe seen from above (or from below): ... The trunk is then uprooted and split into faggots which are added to the flames. The twelve merry-men rush in a wild figure-of-eight dance around the fires, singing ecstatically and tearing at the flesh with their teeth. The bloody remains are burnt in the fire, all except the genitals and the head. These are put into an alder-wood boat and floated down the river ... The tao glyphs at the beginning of side a, though, seem rather to indicate the arrival of a double-canoe after its 2 hulls have been separated:
Although Sun as Rogo (Gb6-26) apparently is standing at the end of winter solstice, his arrival to Easter Island ought to coincide with the arrival of summer. If we add 64 to the ordinal number for the Sun glyph Ga1-26 it becomes 91, i.e. the location is a quarter from winter solstice. The ordinal number of Rei (Ga1-30), on the other hand, should be counted from tamaiti (Gb7-3) and then it becomes 59 + 31 = 90. First comes Sun, Tama-nui-te-ra, and then comes Moon, Tama-iti:
The canoe bringing the queen Ava Rei Pua (Gb1-22) has 2 glyphs (Gb1-23--24) and the canoe with Hotu Matua onboard (Ga1-25) has a single glyph (Ga1-26). When we read the text of G we will first encounter the canoe of the queen (the left hull of the double-canoe), but it will magically arrive later to 'the island' (the beginning of summer) than the canoe of the Sun King. And the distance is 4 days, the same pattern as when we in the Hawaiian Moon calendar will find 'land' 4 days before the new moon (Hilo) will rise. In summary, I imagine the 'old ones' who composed Manuscript E had either counted in the text of G or otherwise learned of the strange change of order between winter solstice and spring equinox - how it was possible for Moon to threaten to arrive before Sun to spring equinox when Sun at winter solstice (Rogo) arrives 4 days earlier than Moon (Tamaiti). 13 weeks after winter solstice equals 91 days whereas the duration for the queen is 12 weeks counted from tamaiti at Gb7-3 (i.e., 59 + 25 = 84 = 7 * 12):
