Gb2-7 looks as a place where births
occur, an opening resembling the form of a child - a tamaiti
with no eye open as yet:

The preceding ure (X) emerges from Emptiness
and the result of the conjunction with the hole (Y) could then be the 'skull'
(Z) in Gb2-8.
If
the regular year was counted as twice 182 = 184
nights, then "December 31 would be 'empty' (a zero
day, a 'hole' in the regular calendar sequence of
days) - with "January 1 perhaps representing
('personifying') the 1st half year and similarly Gb2-11 the 2nd half
year. Vaha mea in Gb2-10 has a foot at left but a
fin at right and RA day 329 could allude to Antares
in the Scorpion (which rose with the Sun 80 days
earlier, in day 329 counted from January 1).

Suddenly a rat came from the middle of the banana
plantation. Ure Honu saw it and ran after it.
But it disappeared and he could not catch it.
On
the second day of hoeing, the same thing happened
with the rat. It ran away, and he could not catch
it. On the third day, he reached the 'head' of the
bananas and finished the work in the plantation.
Again the rat ran away, and Ure Honu followed
it.
It ran and slipped into the hole
of a stone. He poked after it, lifted
up the stone, and saw that the
skull was (in the hole) of the stone. (The rat was)
a spirit of
the
skull (he kuhane o te puoko)
...
Thus we ought to reconsider
our earlier examples of ure followed by
hanau - the hanau glyph should
not denote the birth as such but the place
of birth (Y in the formula X * Y = Z):

This interpretation seems to imply the
'baby' (Z) at the complex glyph Ga8-19
refers to January 1 and the Rogo
'baby' in Gb1-3 to "December 1. The
heliacal time of
rongorongo could have been the frame of
reference for side a and the time of Bharani
in the night the frame of reference for side b.
