Possibly
raaraa in Cb2-12 points
at day 36 and raaraa
in Cb3-11 at day 60 (= 36 +
24).
Perhaps the
creator of the text added
inviting number plays to his
basic calendar structure:

However,
raaraa in Cb2-12 is
obviously different from
that in Cb1-1 and you cannot
count oranges together with
(koira) bananas.
On the other
hand, comparing Cb3-11 with
raaraa at left in
Cb3-16 seems to be a more subtle
game. At first they appear
to be the same. But Cb3-11
is drawn slightly more powerful,
meaning it is a stronger 'Sky
Propper'. If we add a year to
day 166 the result is 531:

531 = 18 *
29½. At the preceding Cb3-10
Metoro said te taketake.
I guess this is the negation
of take:
Take
The
Marquesans are the
only people who own
to a distinctive
national name, and
retain a tradition
of the road they
travelled from their
original habitat,
until they arrived
at the Marquesan
Islands. They call
themselves te
Take, 'the
Take nation'.

Maybe
the rongorongo carvers
had a convention which
meant they
sometimes incised
a glyph once more in
order to show you had to
count beyond the limit
of calendar time, count
'once more'.
