2. Ana-mua is at present located at 16h 26m and its present day number can be counted from winter solstice and the following table:

Let us first remember, though, that day number 266 is autumn equinox both north of the equator and south of the equator. The other 3 cardinal points of the year have day numbers which do not agree across the equator.

South of the equator spring equinox is at day number 87 instead of at day 80, and therefore we can speculate if it possibly corresponds to henua in Ga4-3:

266 - 87 = 179 days	365 + 87 - 266 = 186 days
summer south of the equator	winter south of the equator

But if the G text should happen to refer to autumn equinox north of the equator at Gb2-10, then spring equinox ought to be at glyph number 80 instead:

266 - 80 = 186 days	365 + 80 - 266 = 179 days
summer north of the equator	winter north of the equator

We cannot at present determine whether the G text here describes the summer half of the year up to Gb2-10 according to the situation north of the equator or according to the situation south of the equator. Possibly the text can be read both ways. And of course there is a possibly that the text is not at all meant to be read as I have suggested.

However, I guess Gb2-10 is intended to represent the day of autumn equinox. Toes at left ought to mean the 'limbs of fire' are in the past, and 186 seems to rule out the possibility of a location at midsummer. But the key numbers could be 184 and 181 instead of 186 and 179:

358 - 177 = 181 days	365 - 358 + 177 = 184 days
autumn south of the equator	spring south of the equator
spring north of the equator	autumn north of the equator

181 is an attractive alternative because it has the 'big man' at the end of the preceding cycle. 181 can be the number of days in autumn south of the equator and also the number of days in spring north of the equator.

But the rest of the G text will then stretch for 472 - 181 = 291 days, a number which rather should be 290 or 295, I think.

291	181	472
290	182	472
295	177	472

However, neither 182 nor 177 are among the alternatives tried above (179, 186, 184, 181). Possibly the calendar is based on an ideal world rather than the factual.

177 = 6 * 29½ offers a good solution because 472 = 16 * 29½, but for Sun we need 177 + 5 = 182 days:

Furthermore, 182 is a quarter of the number of rectascension minutes defined by Ana-mua and Ana-muri:

Ana-mua	726m	Ana-muri	712m
986m		1713m
728m (= 2 * 364 = 26 * 28)
24 * 60 = 1440m

Maybe it means we should reduce our full cycle of 1440 rectascension minutes to a corresponding 360 rectascension days on Easter Island.

Ana-mua	726m	Ana-muri	712m
986m		1440 + 273 = 1713m
(986 + 726) / 4 = 428d		360 + 68.25 = 428.25d
728 / 4 = 182d (= 428.25 - 985 / 4)			178d
360d (= 1440 / 4)

Day number 428 possibly is at Ana-muri and at Gb7-17:

Glyph number 246 is once again a tao glyph, and there are only 4 tao glyphs of this kind (with a slight indentation at right) in the G text. There is a weaker one at Gb3-2 (in the line where there are no henua signs, the line with moko where the takaure season is beginning):

289		21		24		134
	Gb1-24 (246)		Gb2-12 (268)		Gb3-2 (293)		Gb7-17 (428)
290		182
