2. The idea of a roof top held up by house beams is separate from the idea of the mata in front:

4. The little 'eye' is normally located at right in hau tea:

Presumably the little 'eye' normally symbolizes sun, which south of the equator will be seen rising at right at the eastern horizon and move towards left and reach a maximum at noon. Then follows the decline towards left and the western horizon.

The pupil of the sun 'eye' cannot be drawn in rongorongo, because only the border line is permitted. Exceptions to this rule indicate how another element (sign) has been inserted between the sign and the viewer. The pupil is part of the eye, and therefore it cannot be drawn (otherwise than as a pupil without the rest of the eye).

Focus is foremost on east, the place of birth of all heavenly bodies except the moon moving 'withershins' from west to east.

The little 'eye' is located above the vertical line in the 'front' of the glyph, the line which may be indicating the eastern horizon in the morning. The horizon in the west may similarly be represented by the vertical line at left.

The central, noon, vertical line is a separate unit, not connected with the rest of hau tea. Which makes sense, because at noon sun is not at any horizon. The vertical line is not a real line, just an imaginary one.

If the Hevelius ('Moon') perspective was used in the rongorongo system - reasonable because Easter Island is far down south compared to the path of Sun - then winter solstice, far north where Sun is born, ought to be of less interest than his arrival in spring.

The word rogorogo, double Rogo, should be a negation - 'no Rogo'.

Rogo

Rogorogo: Originally, 'orators, bards' of Mangareva. Borrowed into the Rapanui language in 1871, it came to generically signify the wooden tablets incised with glyphs, the writing system itself, and the respective inscriptions. Earlier the term ta was used for the writings. Fischer.

Mgv.: rogouru, ten. Mq.: onohuu, okohuu, id. Churchill.
Ta

OR. Write, writing. The name of writing before the term rongorongo in 1871 became current. Fischer.

... the root ta through its long series of known combinations carries a strongly featured sense of action that is peripheral, centrifugal, and there seems to be at least a suspicion of the further connotation that the action is exerted downward ... The secondary sense of cutting will easily be seen to be a striking with a specialized implement, and we find this sense stated without recognition of the primal striking sense only in Mangareva, Nukuoro, Viti, and Malekula. In Indonesia this secondary sense is predominant, although Malagasy ta may come somewhat close to the striking idea ... Churchill 2.

The point of the return of Sun (Ra) can be imagined as ta-Ra, where tara (point, thorn, spike) is similar in meaning to the Maori ngira (needle). Though in ngira the word play obviously could be the reversal of rangi, changing the inside darkness to the outside light.

On Easter Island manu tara (the sea swallow with her pointed beak) presumably was regarded to 'pierce the Cloth of Winter Night'. In Egypt it was the pointed 'beak' of the Ship of Sun which did the work:
