9. The measure 32 (not a multiple of 6) was evidently used also by the creator of the G text. 64 + 32 = 96 = 16 * 6 is the position of tagata toki in Ga2-1:

The 'Whip':
Ga2-1 (32) Ga2-2 Ga2-3 Ga2-4
Canopus, ψ1  
Ga2-5 (36) Ga2-6 Ga2-7 Ga2-8 (508)
ν Puppis, ψ3 ψ2 ψ4, ψ5 ψ6, τ Puppis, ψ7
Ga2-9 (40) Ga2-10 (510)
ψ8 ψ9

The 'Whip' of ψ stars in Auriga stretches for 10 days. A pair of extra ('tail') days are then added in order to reach 16 * 32 = 512:

Ga2-11 (42) Ga2-12 (512)

We remember that 256 (= 8 * 32) is a major turning point in the text:

Gb1-26 (256) Gb2-1

The fundamental pattern of 2 followed by 1 will thereby be fulfilled, twice 4 glyphs are followed by a single group of 4 glyphs (in the same way as twice 32 glyphs are followed by a single group of 32 glyphs in order to reach the beginning of line a2).

At τ Puppis (Ga2-8) we can count 2 * 8 = 16 or 50 * 8 = 400 (= 25 * 16), and at ν Puppis (Ga2-5) - the day of Mercury and of number 64 + 36 = 100 - we can count 2 * 5 = 10.

The toga variants with open (empty) hands could indicate how the 'women' are eagerly stretching out for 'the fire':

toga
Toga

1. Winter season. Two seasons used to be distinguished in ancient times: hora, summer, and toga, winter. 2. To lean against somehing; to hold something fast; support, post supporting the roof. 3. To throw something with a sudden movement. 4. To feed oneself, to eat enough; e-toga koe ana oho ki te aga, eat well first when you go to work. Vanaga.

1. Winter. P Pau., Mgv.: toga, south. Mq.: tuatoka, east wind. Ta.: toa, south. 2. Column, prop; togatoga, prop, stay. Togariki, northeast wind. Churchill.

Wooden platform for a dead chief: ka tuu i te toga (Bb8-42), when the wooden platform has been erected. Barthel 2.

The expressions Tonga, Kona, Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the quarter of an island or of the wind, between the south and west, and Tokelau, Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the opposite directions from north to east - expressions universal throughout Polynesia, and but little modified by subsequent local circumstances - point strongly to a former habitat in lands where the regular monsoons prevailed. Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona', contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana', signifies 'the setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau', of which the other forms are merely dialectical variations, signifies 'the cold, chilly sea'. Fornander.
