3. Let us now return to the beginning of line a4:

7
Ga4-1 (85) Ga4-2 Ga4-3 Ga4-4
8
Ga4-5 (89) Ga4-6
9
Ga4-7 (91) Ga4-8
10
Ga4-9 (93) Ga4-10

The henua periods 1-2 evidently are special, and maybe also period 10 is special:

period 2 3 4 period 10
15 8
Ga3-6 (*9) Ga3-7 Ga3-8 (68) Ga3-9 (*12) Ga4-9 Ga4-10 (94)

12 (at Ga3-9) + 15 (the remaining glyphs ahead in line a3) = 27, and then we can add 9 at the beginning of line a4 in order to reach 36 = 4 * 9. In other words, beyond period 2 there are 24 glyphs up to and including Ga4-9. Both 36 and 24 are numbers which suggest cardinal points for the path of Sun.

A high neck (and short legs) for tagata rima i ruga in Ga4-9 informs us that this cardinal point for Sun should not be in midwinter:

Sign: Meaning:
high neck high sky high summer
short neck low sky midwinter
Sign: Meaning:
short legs high sky high summer
long legs low sky midwinter
Ga1-2 (3) Ga1-11 Ga1-29
Ga2-1 (32) Ga2-5 Ga2-7 Ga2-9
7
Ga4-1 (85) Ga4-9 (93)

The legs in Ga4-9 are similar to those in Ga2-5, Ga2-7, and Ga2-9. But the neck is different (like a sign of henua) and the head is looking ahead instead of straight at us. The latter sign probably means Ga4-9 is not standing at a solstice.

We should remember to recolour tagata mau in Ga3-7 from Mars to Venus:

Ga3-7 (*10)
Ga3-10 Ga3-20 (80)

I have not yet decided whether to also change the planetary colours for the glyphs beyond Ga3-9 (to increase their ordinal numbers in the line by 3).
