3. Neither is the creature inside broken apart, he looks more like an 'insect' caught in amber:
I guess the absence of a koti sign means it cannot be Moon who is inside, it should rather be Sun (who should loose his head but who has only one 'part'). Maybe he is released from his 'cave' somewhere beyond Ga1-16:
The location very early in the text suggests it could be a picture of Tagaroa in his primeval egg: ... Long ago in the very beginning of time there dwelt within a shell an infant god whose name was Ta'aroa. He was Ta'aroa the unique one, the ancestor of all gods, the creator of the universe whose natures were myriad, whose backbone was the ridgepole of the world, whose ribs were its supporters. The shell was called Rumia, Upset. Becoming aware at last of his own existence and oppressed by a yearning loneliness Ta'aroa broke open his shell and, looking out, beheld the black limitless expanse of empty space. Hopefully, he shouted, but no voice answered him. He was alone in the vast cosmos. Within the broken Rumia he grew a new shell to shut out the primeval void ... When he grew a new shell the change can be illustrated as a change from a single rim into a double rim, and there is one vai glyph among all in the rongorongo texts which could show this type of change, viz. Aa2-37, where we easily could be led to interpret the day number as 237, one more than 8 * 29.5. However, the location early on side a suggests the number could rather be understood as a sign of 'seasonal change' in general (for instance 'the 2nd series of 36 is over and a new series has begun'):
There are no 'crescent' signs outside the single perimeter of the oval in Ga1-16, and I believe this means there is no light. In Egypt the same sign of developing an additional shell was used, we should remember:
 Winter solstice is in the past in the picture at right - where the ship is moving upwards - while at left there is only a single rim around the oval on top of the falcon god. The serpent at left has a head illustrated like a half-open hand seen from the side, but the serpent at right is quite different, with a head like toki and with his breast like one of the maitaki 'balls':
An egg should be a sign of beginning, which agrees with how both Gb3-5 and Ga1-16 are located at the beginning. Ga1-16 is the 2nd glyph of 280, but it could be a sign that this is where the 2nd part of the year is beginning:
