Though such a value is of course potentially less for the 21 last types which neither have been discussed as much as the 71 in my preliminary dictionary nor have their names based on firm statistical methods.

I have redmarked tagata because it can exemplify my attempt at creating a better glyph type dictionary, not so long as the preliminary one:

	Growth proceeds from bottom up, like the text on a rongorongo tablet, and the 'head' will gradually rise higher and higher, like Sun in spring. When 'the man' is fully grown he stops and turns to look straight at us. His movement 'ahead' has stopped, as for instance at summer solstice.
tagata
fully grown man
apex
Tagata Man; human being in general; the plural is gagata. Vanaga. Man, mankind; tagata ke, some one else; tagata no, nation. P Pau.: tagata, man. Mgv.: tagata, man or woman. Mq.: enata, enana, kenana, man. Ta.: taata, id. Tagataa, incarnate. Tagatahaga, human, humanity. Churchill.

The tagata glyph type also exemplifies how it is possible to differentiate a glyph type into 'subspecies', e.g. tagata gagana:

A death skull with holes instead of eyes probably indicates the season when Sun is absent. Beyond high summer rain clouds will cover the sky, and later in autumn the vegetation will wither, turn into 'straw'.

The season with Sun absent has ended, because we can see the whole man looking straight at us. His short winglike arms probably indicates how the sky dome is lying low, close to earth as in midwinter.

tagata gagana

dead man

end of 'the season of straw'

Gagana is close to gagata (pluaral of tagata). Metoro said gagana only once while reading for Bishop Jaussen:

Eb6-24

e gagana

Gaga

Exhausted, strengthless, to faint. Vanaga.

To faint, to fall in a swoon, death struggle. Gagata, crowd, multitude, people, population. Mgv.: A bird. Mq.: kaka, id. Pau.: Gagahere, herbs, grass. Ta.: aaihere, herbs, bush. Ma.: ngahere, forest. Pau.: Gagaoa, confused noise. Ta.: aaoaoa, noise of a rising assembly. Churchill.

... the progeny of Tu increased: Rongo, Tane, Tangaroa, Rongomai, Kahukura, Tiki, Uru, Ngangana, Io, Iorangi, Waiorangi, Tahu, Moko, Maroro, Wakehau, Tiki, Toi, Rauru, Whatonga - these were the sons ... (Moriori myth of creation accoding to Legends of the South Seas.)

Tagata rima aueue ought to be a reasonable name for the following tagata variant (where there is a reversed sign of the glyph type rima aueue at left):

		'215'		82
Ga1-29 (30)	Ga1-30		Gb5-5 (359)		Gb7-31 (442)
	*'216' = 12 18**		*84 = 12 7**
	*300 = 12 25**

tagata rima aueue

'wreck' of a man

end of 'water'

The 'wavy arm' sign I have named rima aueue:

rima aueue

Aue

Ah, alas. Aueue, oh. P Pau., Ta.: aue, alas. Mgv.: aue, auhe, alas. Mq.: aue, oh, alas; auhe, a sigh. Exclamation in general representing the most primordial type of speech, it seems that this may be reduced to recognizable elements. The e is throughout these languages a vocative or hailing sign, commonly postpositive in relation to the person hailed. In the examination of au we have shown that the primal first person singular designation is u. With the comparatively scanty material afforded by this vocabulary we may not attempt to define the use of a but we have no hesitation in noting that proof based on wider studies will show it to have, inter alia, a characteristic function as a word-maker. In a very high degree, then, a-u-e is represented by a common English interjection 'oh my!' in which oh = a, my = u, and e = !. Churchill.

What is this cry which our primitive islanders share with the animals? Look at its elements, all full-throated. First we have a, the sound of mouth open, fauces open, lungs full of air. As air expires the sound recedes in the mouth towards the palate and we find the u. Last comes the conscious finish of the utterance, the muscles begin to retract, the sound-making point is forced forward and the sound is e. If the man had but a few more cubic centimeters of lung capacity he could attain cow volumne for his cry, or interjection, since it amounts to the same thing. Churchill 2.

Uéué, to move about, to flutter; he-uéué te kahu i te tokerau, the clothes flutter in the wind; poki oho ta'e uéué, obedient child. Vanaga.

1. Alas. Mq.: ue, to groan. 2. To beg (ui). Ueue: 1. To shake (eueue); kirikiri ueue, stone for sling. PS Pau.: ueue, to shake the head. Mq.: kaueue, to shake. Ta.: ue, id. Sa.: lue, to shake, To.: ue'í, to shake, to move; luelue, to move, to roll as a vessel in a calm. Niuē: luelue, to quake, to shake. Uvea: uei, to shake; ueue, to move. Viti: ue, to move in a confused or tumultous manner. 2. To lace. Churchill.

Another tagata variant has not yet received any name of its own, but it ought to be based on the characteristically upstretched arms:


Ga1-1	Ga1-2 (3)

Ba8-20 (314)

Ga1-2 (3)

man with upraised arms

winter solstice

The Egyptian sign of upraised arms seems to suggest a solstice:

I have for the moment eliminated my earlier question marks within parenthesis, (?), but this does not mean I have become more certain of the meanings, it is only because gradually things tend to become more and more stable (which is quite another matter).
