1. Four. P Mgv., Mq., Ta.: ha, id. 2. To yawn, to gape. 3. To heat. 4. Hakaha, to skin, to flay; unahi hakaha, to scale fish. Mgv.: akaha, to take to pieces, to take off the bark or skin, to strip the leaves off sugarcane. 5. Mgv: ha, sacred, prohibited. Mq.: a, a sacred spot. Sa.: sa, id. Churchill.

Presumably either 20 days in a month or 28 nights in a month could be used, depending on whether the counting was done by Moon or by Sun. Counting must be done with something else than what is counted, for instance with fingers and toes when counting the days of the month in order to follow the solar calendar. Counting the nights according to the lunar calendar was never necessary, it was just to take a quick look at her face. Yet, a close analogy was to say that Sun determined 28 nights in her cycle when her face was lit up.

Once again, then, the name Tiki should make us count with 20 days per son (presumably excepting Whatonga):

0 Rongo	Tane	Tangaroa	Rongomai	Kahukura	5 Tiki
20	40	60	80	100	120

6 Uru	Ngangana	Io	Iorangi	10 Waiorangi
140	160	180	200	220

11 Tahu	Moko	Maroro	Wakehau	15 Tiki
240	260	280	300	320

16 Toi	Rauru	18 Whatonga
340	360	364

Moon measures the cycle of Sun and the last month must be kept short, for instance as 4 days.

As to the name Maroro we can understand it either as Maro-ro or as Ma-roro, which is the alternative I prefer:

1. Of, concerning. 2. Yet, nevertheless, still; kakore ro, our; ka kikiu ro, to importune (? no). Churchill.

Roro

Head, skull, brain. T Pau.: taka-roro, headache. Mgv.: roro, the head, the cranium, milk, coconut milk. Mq.: roro, óó, brains. Ta.: roro, id. There are three senses in this word ... 1. Coconut milk, as in Mangareva, a Proto-Samoan signification; note that coconut milk employed by writers who know the South Sea does not mean the natural water within the nut, which is limpid, but is a tincture obtained by maceration of the bruised kernel, which is white and heavy and thickens to a custardy consistency when cooked. 2. The Tongafiti sense is the brain, palpably the soft contents of the calvarium, sometimes very soft indeed; this sense is lacking to Mangareva but is found in Rapanui. 3. A designation of the hard part of the head, found only in Mangareva and Rapanui, so violently sundered from the germ sense underlying 1 and 2 as to indicate confusion with a stem of similar form but diverse meaning. Churchill.

Mgv.: Roroi, to milk, to squeeze or press with the hands. Mq.: oi, to milk, to knead, to dilute. Sa.: loloi, taro kneaded with coconut water. Ma.: roroi, to grate to a pulp. Churchill.

He Maro is June, the last month of 12 on Easter Island. It may refer to the turnpoint at winter solstice when 'water' turns into 'dry land'. The Egyptian image has water up to the end of the 'night':

The 14th son of Tu was Maroro and 14 * 20 = 280. Alternatively we can count 14 * 28 = 392 (with only 8 nights left to 400). A compromise is 14 * 26 = 364.

To my mind comes the image of the 'wreck of a man' in Ga1-29. His right arm at left is drawn like a flow of water:


Ga1-26	Ga1-27	Ga1-28	*Ga1-29 (502)**	Ga1-30

*502 implies he could be in the Rauru period (if we should count 28 nights per son beginning with Rongo). His intact limbs are slightly deformed which is a Sign. These 3 curious limbs should be observed and contemplated:


Ga1-2 (3)	Ga1-11	Ga1-29

Ga2-1 (32)	Ga2-5	Ga2-7	Ga2-9

The preceding son (Toi) ends - according to my guess - with number 476, which maybe can help us to understand the beginning of side a3:


Ga1-1	Ga1-2	Ga1-3	*Ga1-4 (476)**	Ga1-5


Ga1-6	Ga1-7	Ga1-8	Ga1-9	Ga1-10	Ga1-11

Ariki in Ga1-5 has ordinal number *477 which may be 300 + 177 (= 6 * 29.5). And earlier we have compared Ga1-5 with Eb7-28:


Eb7-23	Eb7-24	Eb7-25	Eb7-26	Eb7-27	Eb7-28	Eb7-29
te hau tea - te takaure	te henua	te veveke	te henua	te vaha	tagata - te kihikihi	hagahaga mai o te ragi

Gb8-30	Ga1-1	Ga1-2 (3)	Ga1-3	Ga1-4	Ga1-5	Ga1-6

7 * 28 = 196 could refer to Uru, i.e. to the son 308 days earlier than Rauru:

0 Rongo	1 Tane	Tangaroa	Rongomai
28	56	84	112

4 Kahukura	Tiki	Uru
140	168	196

7 Ngangana	Io	Iorangi	Waiorangi
224	252	280	308

11 Tahu	Moko	Maroro
336	364	392

14 Wakehau	Tiki	Toi	Rauru	18 Whatonga
420	448	476	504	*532 = 2 266**
