We must mention the moko accumulation beginning in glyph line Ca10:

Ca10-8 Ca10-16 Ca10-23 Ca11-5 Ca11-15
Ca11-22 Ca11-26 Ca11-30 Ca12-1

We have seen these moko before, at kara etahi where 'trees with thumbs' were noted:

Aa3-64 Aa3-65 (240)
 
Ca10-10 Ca10-11 Ca11-7 Ca11-8
Ca10-18 Ca10-19 Ca11-17 Ca11-18
Ca10-25 Ca10-26 Ca12-3 Ca12-4)

And even earlier, at rima, it was concluded that the little thumb sign indicates 'return of light'. Metoro said te kava at all 6 glyphs. Maybe these 'kava trees' correspond to 'bamboo sections':

... An ancient Vietnamese legend tells of a poor, young farmer who fell in love with his landlord's beautiful daughter. The farmer asked the landlord for his daughter's hand in marriage, but the proud landlord would not allow her to be bound in marriage to a poor farmer. The landlord decided to foil the marriage with an impossible deal; the farmer must bring him a 'bamboo tree of one-hundred sections'. The benevolent god Bụt appeared to the farmer and told him that such a tree could be made from one-hundred sections from several different trees. Bụt gave the him four magic words to attach the many sections of bamboo: 'Khắc nhập, khắc xuất', which means 'put in immediately, take out immediately'. The triumphant farmer returned to the landlord and demanded his daughter. The story ends with the happy marriage of the farmer and the landlord's daughter ...

We need to look once again on the structure and numbers of line Ca10.
