4 * 6 = 24 and 32 * 6 = 192, which indeed are signs which can be interpreted as the end of the side of 'the face'. The living spirit (manu rere) of Sun could show with his fists at left that 3 + 3 'flame periods' are in the past. If so, then it is an example which illustrates how the back side is not only what is at left but also what is in the background.

30 days later will lead us to Gb5-1, or maybe to Gb5-2 because there is a henua in its center (and 5 * 2 = 10):


Gb4-33 (354)	Gb5-1	Gb5-2	Gb5-3	Gb5-4 (358)

The change from summer to winter could in a lunar calendar be defined to take place after 12 * 29½ = 354 days - for instance by counting from autumn equinox - and the reversal of hau tea probably is meant to say so. Tea means white and hau tea presumably refers to the Sun-bleached white bark cloth (tapa):

Working with cloth and making white tapa was the business of women, and one of them, Hina, was dispatched of to the moon because she disturbed the gods by her beating tapa. Ships, houses, darkness, moon, birth, death - and cloth were female. The hau tea glyph must therefore be female - given the name of the glyph. Tea means white and the moon is white.

... There was noise at night at Marioro, it was Hina beating tapa in the dark for the god Tangaroa, and the noise of her mallet was annoying that god, he could endure it no longer. He said to Pani, 'Oh Pani, is that noise the beating of tapa?' and Pani answered, 'It is Hina tutu po beating fine tapa.'

Then Tangaroa said, 'You go to her and tell her to stop, the harbour of the god is noisy.' Pani therefore went to Hina's place and said to her, 'Stop it, or the harbour of the god will be noisy.' But Hina replied, 'I will not stop, I will beat out white tapa here as a wrapping for the gods Tangaroa, 'Oro, Moe, Ruanu'u, Tu, Tongahiti, Tau utu, Te Meharo, and Punua the burst of thunder'. So Pani returned and told the god that Hina would not stop.

'Then go to her again', said Tangaroa, 'and make her stop. The harbour of the god is noisy!' So Pani went again, and he went a third time also, but with no result. Then Pani too became furious with Hina, and he seized her mallet and beat her on the head. She died, but her spirit flew up into the sky, and she remained forever in the moon, beating white tapa. All may see her there. From that time on she was known as Hina nui aiai i te marama, Great-Hina-beating-in-the-Moon ...
