A little star (*) is the universal sign of birth. Counting 12 days ahead from δ Hydrae (the Willow star) we will reach Gregorian day 222, coinciding - at the time which I have assumed for the rongorongo texts - with the heliacal risings of both the Nose of the Lion (κ Leonis) and Alphard (the Star star, α Hydrae):

Perhaps the united birds in Ga3-18 were meant to form a suitable opening for birth. I have labelled this type of glyph heuheu (for reasons too early to discuss, but it was not based on Metoro's readings):
|
| heuheu |
| Heu Offspring of parents from two different tribes, person of mixed descent, e.g. father Miru, mother Tupahotu. Heuheu, body hair (except genitals and armpits). Vanaga.
1. Heheu; ivi heheu, the cachalot, bone needle; hakaheu, spade, to shovel, to grub up, to scratch the ground, to labor; rava hakaheu, laborious, toilsome. 2. Hakaheu, affair. Churchill.
M. Heu, to separate, to pull asunder; the eaves of a house; heu, a single hair; hau. to hew; heru, to comb; huru, hair on the body; down; feathers; maheu, scattered; maheuheu, shrubs; mahuru, scrub; heuea, to be separated. Text Centre. |
In K the heuheu birds are looking ahead:

The heuheu glyph in K is open and at the wrong place, which necessitated a birth entrance hole in Ka4-13.
