Side b is beginning with the heliacal rising of Polaris in April 17, a date when also Mesarthim (γ Arietis) and Sheratan (β Arietis) rose with the Sun. This pair of stars ruled the first Hindu lunar mansion Ashvini:

Sheratan is slightly above Mesarthim on the curved frontal horn of the Ewe and in this picture time runs from right to left, i.e. with Mesarthim as the first Greek lettered 'point' in Aries.

Probably side b is beginning with the beginning of the year.

The brightest star in Aries is Hamal (α) on her head and in rongorongo times Hamal rose very close to right ascension 2h:

Next in the text are 7 glyphs beginning with April 21, where we can count 16 * 21 = 336, given that April is not month number 4 but month number16:

336 is the manzil day number for Almuqaddam 12 (corresponding to April 17). In other words, there are 5 days from the heliacal rising of Polaris, Mesarthim, and Sheratan, to the very complicated glyph Cb1-6 where a kind of separation is illustrated.

April 21 is like March 21 (the northern spring equinox) and June 21 (the northern midsummer) a date connected with radical changes.

Probably Metoro's words are here describing the whole package of glyphs instead of commenting on them each separately. He is beginning by stating that drums (te pahu) are sounding (rutua) as a means of welcoming (te maeva) and this is meaningful if the beginning of the text on side b is related to the onset of a new year.

The 2nd Hindu lunar mansion is Bharani, ruled by 3 stars in the asterism Musca Borealis.

There are 14 days from April 17 (107) to May 1 (121) and also the 1st Arabic manzil station (Sheratan) has 14 days (instead of the normal 13 days).

The central glyph in the following triplet refers to May 5 and manzil day 354 (= 12 * 29½).

Once, a long time ago, Algol, the devil's star, probably represented the northern winter and in rongorongo times it had moved ahead in the year to 3h. Perseus severed the head of the Medusa demon (who's eyes turned men into stone) with Algol as her left eye:

The last quartet of glyphs in the line maybe should be read together with the glyphs in the following line:

In rongorongo times the important star Algenib (α) at the illuminated right side of Perseus was located precisely 50 days after the March equinox. At the other end of the year the Gregorian calendar had day = 130 + 184 = 314 (November 10).
