The period of midsummer seems to begin with June 18 and
end with June 30 (13 days):

Metoro said te henua
3 times and we recognize the glyph type.
But it is a not common variant, and
possibly it indicates there are 5
extraordinary days for the solstice:

Perhaps the
horizontal straight
upper ends of these 3 henua
indicate a high time for Sun. We can compare with
how in Ca2-4 there is a
raaraa type of glyph and in
Ca3-23 a henua with the
opposite design:

Maybe the henua
triplet at midsummer is alluding to
the 3 Belt stars and the ancient
time when they marked the union
between Sun and the sky equator.
Metoro said mauga
hua at the left part in glyph
92, possibly meaning the 'fruit' of
the 'mountain', or rather the 'last
produce':

The 7 'feathers'
around the ovoid top of
mauga could mean 7 months of
'sky' (summer). When once Orion was
at spring equinox
summer was 'ahead'.
But if ahead is at the left in
Ca4-16, then time must here run
from right to left, i.e.
according to the rule of Moon (at
the back side, tua).
Tua 1. Back, shoulder, tu'a ivi, shoulder blade; tu'a ivi more, lumbago; moa tu'a ivi raá, 'sun-back chicken': chicken with a yellow back which shines in the sun. 2. Behind (a locative adverb, used with i, ki, a, o, etc). Tu'a-papa, pelvis, hips. Vanaga.

365 = 172 + 193,
and in the manzil calendar June
19 is day 399 (= the synodic
cycle of Jupiter).
There appears to be
a time reversal at Praja-pāti,
where the goats at the back side
are face to face with the
Charioteer who is turning his
head around:
The same idea of
face to face is presented in the
Chinese illustration of the
Sheep (high summer) and the Goat
(rainy winter):
