3. There are 4 'clear' moe glyphs in the text of G, redmarked below, glyphs which are relatively simple and not complicated by other signs which will make the identification uncertain:

Ga1-20 Ga2-3 Ga3-2 Ga6-6 Gb2-13 Gb2-29
 
Gb2-30 Gb3-12 Gb4-22 Gb8-24

Excepting Ga1-20 these 'clear' moe glyphs have the 'summer leg' sign:

Ga1-20 Ga2-3 Ga6-6 Gb3-12

Ga6-6 and Gb3-12 are very alike, but there are details which are different, e.g. is the beak in Ga6-6 thicker than in Gb3-12. 6 * 6 = 36 = 3 * 12.

In Ga2-3 we can count 2 * 3 = 6, or to be more precise 1 time 6. The 'distance' to Ga6-6 (and also to Gb3-12) is 5 ('fire') times 6. A rich imagination can see a potential in anything, the preceding reflection was such an example.

To be on 'firm ground' we can count the distance between the pair of important (firmly incised) moe glyphs:

155
Ga6-6 (147) Gb3-12 (303)
156

156 could allude to Kuukuu, or to the length of 'the first 3 days of the week':

364 - 156 = 208 days, or the number of days for the rest of 'the sons of Hua Tava'. If we count ahead 26 glyphs (in order to reach number 147 + 182 = 329) we will find the following peculiar glyphs:

Gb4-1 (322) Gb4-2 Gb4-3 Gb4-4
Gb4-5 Gb4-6 Gb4-7 Gb4-8 (329)
Gb4-9 (330) Gb4-10 Gb4-11 Gb4-12
Gb4-13 Gb4-14 Gb4-15 Gb4-16 (337)

The bird in Gb4-8 is like the opposite of moe, his is looking straight up.

According to 'the old system' lines a5 and b3 are not to be counted (because they have 30 glyphs and are not needed to reach 300) and we should notice that the following lines (a6 and b4) are those where we have our hanging respectively upturned head. The beak in front has apparently turned into a kara etahi wing at the back, suggesting a possible opposition between the glyph types moe and kara etahi:

181
Ga6-6 (147) Gb4-8 (329)
182 = 13 * 14
moe kara etahi

6 + 6 = 12 = 4 + 8.
