GD21

The normal 4 'berries' are not necessary for classifying a glyph as GD21, there are only 3 in Aa4-14:

This is also the only example of GD21 in Tahua. Aa6-55 is probably not a combination of GD45 and GD21:

 Instead the left part presumably is GD88 - that can be established by the parallel glyphs Ra3-103--104:

 

Aruku Kurenga (B)

The 'base' is not necessarily like a bud or nut, as seen in e.g. Bb9-43 and Bb6-23:

  

 

Mamari (C)

The right part of  Ca1-19 belongs to GD21:

  

After some hesitation I have classified also the right part of Ca1-20 as GD21:

I have been influenced by L1-19:

Mamari has examples of the second type of glyph which is classfied as GD21, e.g. Ca4-25 and Ca5-5:

  

We can recognize the central figure from the first type.

A special case is Ca9-8, which however must be classified as GD21:

 

Échancrée (D)

The text has only one example, Da4-114:

 

Keiti (E)

Eb6-8 and Eb6-20 (combinations with GD34 respectively GD43) have only 3 'berries':

  

 

The rest of the texts

The texts above have been used as a kind of 'test ground' to see if the definitions could be used.

For the rest of the texts the same principles have been used, although less stringently. The experiences gained have been relied upon rather than what is written above about what characterizes the glyph type.

There may be a few extra glyph added, which would not have been so with a strict application of the written definitions. On the other hand there has been no attempt to ignore glyphs which according to the written definitions ought to belong to the glyph type.
