Once again, these glyphs
could reflect the stars
close to the Full Moon in the
night rather than those
together with the Sun:

Heliacal
(northern) May 25 would
have been
possible to find by
looking at Antares in
the night.
November 25 (329) - May
25 (145) = 184. The
rising kahi fish
probably depicts Antares
and Metoro may have
added
huga in order to indicate that May 25 was not a spring
month on Easter Island
but on the other side of
the equator:
...
They walked in
crowds when they arrived at Tulan, and there was no
fire. Only those with Tohil had it: this was the
tribe whose god was first to generate fire. How it was
generated is not clear. Their fire was already burning when
Jaguar Quitze and Jaguar Night first saw it:
'Alas! Fire has not yet become ours. We'll die from the
cold', they said. And then Tohil spoke: 'Do not
grieve. You will have your own even when the fire you're
talking about has been lost', Tohil told them.
'Aren't you a true god! Our sustenance and our support! Our
god!' they said when they gave thanks for what Tohil
had said. 'Very well, in truth, I am your god: so be it. I
am your lord: so be it,' the penitents and sacrificers were
told by Tohil. And this was the warming of the
tribes. They were pleased by their fire.
After that a great downpour began, which cut short the fire
of the tribes. And hail fell thickly on all the tribes, and
their fires were put out by the hail. Their fires didn't
start up again. So then Jaguar Quitze and Jaguar
Night asked for their fire again: 'Tohil, we'll
be finished off by the cold', they told Tohil. 'Well,
do not grive', said Tohil. Then he started a fire. He
pivoted inside his sandal
...
The Polynesians
had their fire plow but north of the equator the Mayas
produced fire by drilling. A hurricane (huga) is a
powerful wind turning quickly round and round without
stopping.
In G we found Aldebaran illustrated as a
rising vaha mea fish:

I guess Metoro could have said hoea
at Ga1-1 if he had been given the opportunity, although the sign appears to be reversed and with its point high up in
contrast to hoea in Cb1-21:

Hoea could have been
Metoro's sign
for a following dark time (of 'death') and tara (as
in manu tara) for a time of 'life' (light) in
front.
Therefore we ought to consider the 'night
stars' also in the first week of line Cb2:

Possibly Zuben Elakrab ('the Southern
Claw',
γ Librae)
should be connected with May 12 and the 'balanced'
hau tea (with one 'eye' in each direction).
Vrischika
(π Scorpii) - from the name of Scorpio in India
- is
at the opposite side of the year
compared to the Pleiades. In rongorongo times
Vrischika was rising with the Sun in manzil day 185.
The
night numbers (Gregorian 320 respectively manzil 184) could equally
well motivate a great crescent ahead in Cb2-6 as the
day numbers (Gregorian 136 respectively manzil 365).
