People with one leg like hipu appear:

*Hb8-39 (1046) *Hb8-40 *Hb8-41 *Hb8-42 *Hb8-43 *Hb8-44
Pb10-6 (1048) Pb10-7 Pb10-8 Pb10-9 Pb10-10 Pb10-11

In H their other legs are rather ordinary and normal. In P their other legs are not, right legs are drawn as fish tails. But the first pair (Pb10-6) standing at left in the glyph (in the past) have normal right legs and their left legs like henua instead of hipu.

*Hb8-45 *Hb8-46 *Hb8-47 *Hb8-48 *Hb8-49 (1056)
Pb10-12 (1054) Pb10-13 Pb10-14 Pb10-15 Pb10-16 Pb10-17

In H there are eating (kai) hands (with only 3 fingers visible), whereas in P also thumbs are depicted. From Pb10-14 to Pb10-16 the open hand evolves into a fist.

*Hb8-50 (1057) *Hb8-51 *Hb8-52
Pb10-18 (1060) Pb10-19
 
*Hb8-53 (1060) *Hb8-54 Hb9-1 Hb9-2 Hb9-3
Pb10-20 Pb10-21 (1063) Pb10-22

3 * 354 = 1062. In H this position corresponds to Rogo in Hb9-1. Together with the same Rogo in Hb8-51 there are 5 glyphs with  Hb8-53 in the center. 1060 = 20 * 53.

In P there are 5 glyphs only, and in the center (defined also visually by the complex glyphs Pb10-19 and Pb10-21) is number 1062.

Presumably the subject matter is still the solstice. 20 * 52 = 1040 and the beginning of this time could be here:

*Hb8-29 *Hb8-30 *Hb8-31 *Hb8-32 *Hb8-33 (1040)
Pb9-46 Pb9-47 Pb9-48 (1040) Pb9-49 Pb9-50

9 * 46 = 414 (= 14 * 29½ + 1) and 8 * 29 = 232 (= 5 * 46 + 2). There is 1 hipu sign in P but 2 (counting also the body of Rogo) in H, 1 'calabash' in P but 2 in H. Basically, therefore, Rogo could be a sign of 'offspring' (the new generation).

Venus disappears for 8 nights when changing from her evening to her morning gown and she disappears for 50 nights when changing from morning to evening star. 8 + 50 = 58 = 2 * 29. Possibly this explains why 29 is competing with 29½ in the rongorongo texts.

1062 - 1038 = 24 (P) and 1062 - 1036 = 26 (H).

On the other hand does Rogo appear already where Q ends:

Hb6-39 (942) Hb6-40 Hb6-41 Hb6-42
Pb8-21 (948) Pb8-22 Pb8-23
Hb6-43 Hb6-44 (947) Hb6-45 Hb6-46
Pb8-24 Pb8-25 (952) Pb8-26 Pb8-27

1050 - 947 = 103 (H) and 1052 - 952 = 100 (P). Maro headgears are not common in the rongorongo texts.
