6. Tagata rima i ruga in Ga4-9 could indicate where Sun disappears down into the Underworld, and 5 glyphs later the same tagata rima i ruga person reappears with other adjuncts. He is followed by a kiore with a jaw like a bird's beak upside down and by a special henua with a 'foot' in front (to which a growing maro string is attatched in the same way as we earlier saw in periods 1-2):

period 10		1	period 12		period 13
		3				3
Ga4-9 (93)	Ga4-10		Ga4-14 (98)	Ga4-15	Ga4-16 (100)
	4		3
	7

The 3-feathered strings at left and right, hanging down from his elbows, could be a reference to the last month of the year, He Maro (where he probably means Sun is absent from view). The ordinal number at Ga4-15 (where 4 * 15 = 60) is 99, the last of the two-digit numbers. Maybe a maro string 'growing upwards' has 5 feathers when Sun is present and 6 feathers in his absence.

Manu rere in Ga4-16 exhibits a 'claw' at left which presumably is a sign of inversion compared to the 'beak upside down' of the preceding kiore. The 'fist' held high in front has a 6-feathered maro string hanging down - it could mean an 'unclean' period with 'fire inside' (held tight in his fist) ends here, where the 'living spirit' is returning (and counting begins anew). I have let my imagination play freely.

One (sand) is not dirty (oneone), cfr the last words of Hotu Matua to his firstborn son:

... The king went into his house and laid down. The first child of King A Matua, Tuu Maheke, came and went into the house. He came and kissed his father on the cheek. King Hotu A Matua asked, 'Who are you?' The royal child replied, 'It is I, the royal child, Tuu Maheke'. King Hotu A Matua said, 'Ah, I wish you luck, oh King, for your sand, very fine sand, fleas [in the sand]!' ...

Ga4-16 can allude to glyph number 416, raaraa:

Gb7-1	Gb7-2 (413)	Gb7-3	Gb7-4
Gb7-5	Gb7-6 (416)	Gb7-7

Considering also the fist held high at left in Ga4-14 it is clearly meant to focus our attention on Ga4-15 (glyph number 30 counted from the beginning of period 3). The correlation between the 'beak' of kiore and 'claw' of manu rere should make us list further such possible examples:

Maybe the bottom part of a glyph (like the tail of manu rere) refers to its beginning and the top part (like the 'beak' of kiore) to its end. In e.g. tamaiti the bulb at bottom should refer to the new baby:
