6. But we must be careful. The Bay of Hilo is where Mokuola was buried, not where he was born. Instead it should come close in time after his death, maybe immediately after midsummer (because probably Mokuola is the 'Living Island' of spring).. Spring Sun cannot go on forever, and at the end he will 'cast anchor' somewhere. A 'bay' is where his journey will end. I have named one of my glyph types haga rave and I believe it was used in order to represent the 'harbour' of Spring Sun, where he is ending his journey of life (light):
In E the following important text exemplifies its use:
The empty hand gesture was often named rima by Metoro, and we know it probably indicates 'empty'. Te tagata in Eb6-6 (where we can count 6 * 6 = 36) means 'the man', though more often tagata was used at a picture of a standing ('fully grown') man, not one who is evidently sinking low.
The elbow ornament (in Eb6-6) describes an oval, presumably to indicate a cycle which is closed. The Y-formed arm in front should represents the last quarter of this cycle. In Eb6-9 there is a reversed ihe tau sign. Not reversed it could be a picture of a grave stone - at any rate it is a symbol of 'death' - and reversed it will then become its opposite, a sign of returning back to life:
Counting at this reversed ihe tau glyph should define the moment of returning to life. 51 * 8 (at the preceding Eb6-8) = 408, and by adding 'one more' we will reach 409 where Rogo should be located:
