It is obvious that the hua poporo glyphs in H come predominantly on side b, the back side of the tablet. I have suggested (cfr at hua poporo) that this type of glyph has to do with falling rain and falling darkness. The 'balls' are formed like droplets.

Ha9-8 is not typical. But the 'drops' are recognizable. There is no other similar hua poporo glyph, neither in H nor in any of the other texts.

The preceding Mars glyph is a nuku. 45 * 6 = 270 = 9 * 30 could possibly be a sign of autumn equínox (and 4 * 56 = 8 * 28 = 7 * 32):

Ha9-1 (450)	Ha9-2	Ha9-3	Ha9-4

				13 glyphs are missing here
Ha9-5	Ha9-6	Ha9-7 (456)	Ha9-8

There are 786 glyphs from this Mars nuku to Mars vae kore in Hb11-49:

Hb11-46	Hb11-47	Hb11-48	Hb11-49 (1242)	Hb11-50
Hb11-51	Hb11-52	Hb11-53

Therefore also the distance from Ha9-8 (Mercury) to Hb11-50 (Mercury) has this length:

	785
Ha9-8 (457)		Hb11-50 (1243)
	785 = 314 * 250%

Often we can divide the number of glyphs in H by 3 and reach meaningful distances. Possibly this fact is related to my suggestion that 942 = 2 * 471 is a sign of 300 % * 314. If so, then maybe we should count each glyph as a day for the cycle beginning with Hb11-50 and count 3 glyphs per day for the rest of the text. (1296 - 354) / 3 = 314.

An example of how division by 3 gives meaningful results is the Mars vae kore in Hb11-49. The number for this little Mars bird looking ahead will after division by 3 correspond to the day of tamaiti in Gb7-3:

Hb11-47	Hb11-48	Hb11-49 (1242)	Gb7-3
1242 / 3 = 414			414

Hb11-50	Hb11-51	Hb11-52	Hb11-53	Hb12-1	Hb12-2
415			416

Hb12-3	Hb12-4	Hb12-5
417

According to this structure day number 413 (= 14 * 29.5) will in H end with a Saturday:

Hb11-44	Hb11-45	Hb11-46 (1239)	Gb7-2
413 = 1239 / 3			413

My discussion above indicates that the strange hua poporo in Ha9-8 is related to the hura glyphs. If so, then we ought to find a numerical connection also with the similarly formed hura in Ha6-28, and such is indeed the case:

	153
Ha6-28 (303)		Ha9-8 (457)

The numerical connection is not easily found. The trick is to recognize 457 as 300 + 157 (where 157 = 314 * 50%). The connection is that 6-28 alludes to 314 * 200% and that the distance between Ha9-8 and Hb11-50 is 314 * 250%:

	785
Ha9-8 (457)		Hb11-50 (1243)
	785 = 314 * 250%

That is, Ha9-8 is located 314 * 50% beyond glyph number 354 counted from tagata rere hura in Hb11-50:

	53	299
Hb11-50			Ha6-25 (300)
1			354

From Sunday hakaua in Ha6-26 to Hb11-50 there are (50% + 250%) * 314 = 942 glyphs.

				938
Ha6-26	Ha6-27	Ha6-28	Ha6-29		Hb11-50 (1243)
942 = 3 * 314					1

The other texts have a more or less normal hua poporo glyph in parallel with Ha9-8 and there is no sign of any hura:
