5. I find it plausible to connect the kuhane
stations Tama and One Tea with Gb7-3 respectively with
Gb8-2:

Gb8-2 (444)

If Waning Moon is the one who is perishing by
slipping down into the waves of the sea at One Tea,
then Te Pei could be a station where Waxing Moon
(together with Spring Sun) similarly is ending her days:

Te
Poko Uri |
Te

Te

|
Roto Iri Are |

One Tea |
|
Hanga Takaure |
Counting in lunar synodic months we can possibly identify Te Pei
with the pair of glyphs
Gb1-6--7:
But perhaps Te Pei covers the 5 glyphs
from Gb1-6 up to and including Gb1-10, or maybe the
first 10 glyphs of line b1.
The 14 kuhane stations from Te Pu
Mahore up to and including Hanga Takaure could be listed
in the text of G (in their proper order according to Manuscript E),
and each kuhane step ahead could measure 29½
glyphs. The meaning (of the kuhane stations and the G text)
could be to present a calendar for the month, but it could also be
to represent a cycle of 14 * 29.5 = 413 nights.
