1. Line a7 contains midsummer, given that we assume glyph number 177 corresponds to day number 177 counted from winter solstice:

North of the equator South of the equator
spring equinox 80 autumn equinox 266
summer solstice 172 winter solstice 358 = 266 +172 - 80
autumn equinox 266 (= 80 + 186) spring equinox 87 = 358 + (266 - 172) - 365
winter solstice 356 (= 172 + 184) summer solstice 177 = 87 + (356 - 266) = 6 * 29½

But day 177 also corresponds to the end of 3 lunar doublemonths, 3 * 59 = 177, which could be enough of a reason to motivate why the creator of the G text should have paid special attention to Ga7-7:

30
Ga7-1 (171) Ga7-2 Ga7-3 Ga7-4
31
Ga7-5 Ga7-6 Ga7-7 (177) Ga7-8 Ga7-9 Ga7-10 (180)

There are 8 feather signs at left and 8 at right in Ga7-7 (signs of Moon), and a little dot in front has been placed there to catch attention. There is no such dot in glyph number 180 and no dot in the following glyphs either (not until Ga7-32). Looking in the other direction we will find such a dot sign at right in Ga6-11, though there is a dot also at left in Ga6-15:

22

Oromanga (?)

Ga6-5 (*46) Ga6-6 Ga6-7 (148) Ga6-8
Ana-mua (?)
23
Ga6-9 (*10) Ga6-10 Ga6-11 (152)
24
Ga6-12 Ga6-13 Ga6-14 Ga6-15 (156) Ga6-16

From Ga6-11 to Ga7-7 there are 25 glyphs and from Ga6-15 to Ga7-7 there are 21 glyphs, numbers which could be significant. 152 = 8 * 19 and dot at right. Dot at left and 156 = 12 * 13. In the middle is Ga6-13, where 61 * 3 = 183 (= 154 + 29).

The last henua period is number 31, or number 29 if we do not count those 2 periods which have open henua signs:

11
Ga4-11 Ga4-12 (96) Ga4-13
16
Ga5-1 Ga5-2 (113) Ga5-3

If 7 represents the last 'day' (182 / 7 = 26) of the 'land', then according to the system of correspondences line a7 should also be connected with Saturn and the black last day in the week. Therefore the last period in the henua calendar possibly should be thought of as number 29 (the dark night in the month).

Number 7 is 'underlined' by  Ga7-7. And viri in Ga7-1 is connected to viri in Ga5-11, because they are drawn exactly alike:

18 Hanga Hoonu (?)
Ga5-10 Ga5-11 (122) Ga5-12 Ga5-13 Ga5-14 Ga5-15 (126) Ga5-16
19 Rangi Meamea (?)
Ga5-17 Ga5-18 (129) Ga5-19 Ga5-20 Ga5-21

171 (Ga7-1) - 122 (Ga5-11) = 49 = 7 * 7, and maybe a pointer at Ga7-7.

From viri in Ga5-11 to vero in Ga5-17 there are 6 glyphs, and if we count 6 glyphs from viri in Ga7-1 we will reach glyph number 177. Possibly we should compare vero in Ga5-17 with Ga7-7:

*29
Ga7-5 Ga7-6 Ga7-7 (177) Ga7-8 Ga7-9 Ga7-10 (180)
Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14 Ga7-15 (185) Ga7-16 Ga7-17
