2. The text of G has the 10 months of the front side of the year located with 2 of them at the end of side b and this suggests we maybe should regard only 8 of those 10 months as really belonging on the front side of the year.

But in the longer H text there is room for all 10 months on side a. Looking for a 'break in time' after 2 months we indeed can find such signs:

Ha2-1 Ha2-2 Ha2-3 Ha2-4 Ha2-5
Ha2-6 Ha2-7 Ha2-8 Ha2-9 (59) Ha2-10

An empty hand at left (in the past) in Ha2-10 ought to mean the opposite of an empty hand in front, i.e. a season of plenty has arrived.

Counting synodic lunar months the glyph in Ha2-9 will represent the last night of the first 2 months. And here we for once can see a Sign, a clear statement to be observed.

The glyph type is pito, which means navel string, and it is not very common in the texts:

Pito

1. Umbilical cord; navel; centre of something: te pito o te henua, centre of the world. Ana poreko te poki, ina ekó rivariva mo uru ki roto ki te hare o here'u i te poki; e-nanagi te pito o te poki, ai ka-rivariva mo uru ki roto ki te hare, when a child is born one must not enter the house immediately, for fear of injuring the child (that is, by breaking the taboo on a house where birth takes place); only after the umbilical cord has been severed can one enter the house. 2. Also something used for doing one's buttons up (buttonhole?).

H Piko 1. Navel, navel string, umbilical cord. Fig. blood relative, genitals. Cfr piko pau 'iole, wai'olu. Mō ka piko, moku ka piko, wehe i ka piko, the navel cord is cut [friendship between related persons is broken; a relative is cast out of a family]. Pehea kō piko? How is your navel [a facetious greeting avoided by some because of the double meaning]? 2. Summit or top of a hill or mountain; crest; crown of the head; crown of the hat made on a frame (pāpale pahu); tip of the ear; end of a rope; border of a land; center, as of a fishpond wall or kōnane board; place where a stem is attached to the leaf, as of taro. 3. Short for alopiko. I ka piko nō 'oe, lihaliha (song), at the belly portion itself, so very choice and fat. 4. A common taro with many varieties, all with the leaf blade indented at the base up to the piko, junction of blade and stem. 5. Design in plaiting the hat called pāpale 'ie. 6. Bottom round of a carrying net, kōkō. 7. Small wauke rootlets from an old plant. 8. Thatch above a door. 'Oki i ka piko, to cut this thatch; fig. to dedicate a house.

The sense of Ha2-9 seems to be to indicate when Sun is arriving for real, with the composition incorporating signs of toa and henua in addition to Sun himself:

toa henua Ha2-9 red

For comparison I have at right added an ancient Chinese sign for 'red', which is a picture showing Sun behind the stem of a tree. The Chinese used the stem of certain trees to make red colour pigment, but red can also be seen in the colour of the early morning sky when Sun still is hidden behind the trees.

When Sun is poised at the horizon in the east with sky above and the night world below he is being born. A navel string comes easily to mind.
