There is a little dot in front in *Ca14-12 and Metoro said 'ashes' (te kihikihi). The previous glyph, maybe representing manzil day 136, was te heke, a mauga type of glyph with 'Janus eyes'.

When north of the equator the '2nd Frog' (Deneb Kaitos, β Ceti) was close to the Sun in March 29 and suggesting the border between winter and summer, it was south of the equator observed how in the night Mimosa (β Crucis) was close to the Moon. This quickly wilting plant could have served as a Sign of waning, of summer changing to winter:

Possibly Metoro thought of Mimosa when the said kua pua at the 'dry plant' in April 1, the night before RA day 378 (a number equal to the synodic measure of Saturn). He could hardly have said rau hei (branch of Mimosa) because it was not a rau hei type of glyph.

April 1 coincides with manzil day 320 (Saad Al Akhbia 9) and this number occurs also at the beginning of Syrma, when the Gregorian calendar has day 320. Also Syrma is a manzil with no ruling star.
