In line a3 there are also 25 glyphs:
Ca3-8 has an obvious gap in front at the top of henua. This phenomenon is mirrored in the prolonged front line of henua in Ca3-16. The thin united kiore henua in Ca3-4 is likewise contrasted with the fat united kiore henua in Ca3-13:
There are 5 groups each beginning with a glyph illustrating a reversed tapa mea (red cloth) and hanau (birth). It could mean red Sun is in the past with a new season being born. There are 2 * 6 + 7 + 2 * 6 = 31 maro 'feathers' on the 5 reversed tapa mea signs. The π glyph has its reversed tapa mea drawn with a vertical straight line. A new season seems to begin with glyph 65 (= 5 * 13), where great fists are held both in front and at the back. If counting should begin anew with Ca3-14, then the previous 64 glyphs resemble how we in G have to add 64 to the glyph numbers on side a in order to reach right ascension days. 80 + 65 = 145 (= 5 * 29) = May 25 (5-25). Perhaps we do not have to add 64 to the glyph numbers in the Mamari text in order to reach the right ascension days. A pair of Rogo figures at the end of line a3 possibly define the length of the year:
32 * (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5) = 15 * 32 = 480 = 5 * 96. At the central great henua 96 = 32 * 3. 80 + 72 (Ca3-21) = 152 = June 1. The first Rei in the Mamari text is 64 glyphs earlier than the one in Ca3-24 and it is also surrounded by Rogo glyphs:
8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 = 77 (= 22 * 3 + 11). Rei in Ca1-11 could, according to my guess, be in Gregorian day 80 + 11 = 91 = April 1. And the beginning of the text could then be as follows:
