Gb8-10 is a strongly drawn
figure which evidently illustrates the
phenomenon of inversion. Basically we
can see that it is a nuku ('autumn') sign which is
inverted. However, its double form, nuku
rua (cfr at The Arm of Sun),
should have another meaning:

Metoro said ma te nuku rua
respectively i te nuku rua at Ab6-47
and Ab6-54 (both Sundays). Probably these 16
glyphs have been carefully designed in order
to give both visual and numerical signals.
Perhaps both Mars and Venus were thought of
as 'colliding with
mother earth' - Venus when disappearing
during 8 nights and Mars when changing from
his strong to his weak appearance.
65 * 4 (at Ab6-54) =
260 and 64 * 7 (at Ab6-47) = 448, a number
which can be explained as 260 + 188 where 188 = 365 - 177.
Glyph number 177, we should
remember, is also adorned with 'feathers' on
both sides (though here oriented left-right
instead of up-down):

At Cb1-13 Metoro said eaha
te nuku erua, and the orientation
left-right is the same type of arrangement
as at the end of the day in Aa1-35:

Tiki, Uru,
Ngangana,
Io, Iorangi, Waiorangi,
Tahu, Moko, Maroro,
Wakehau, Tiki, Toi,
Rauru, Whatonga - these
were the sons ...
The ordinal numbers of
the glyphs in the Tahua text
should, according to the way Metoro was
reading the tablet, be counted from
Ab1-1.
