Now I have found another glyph (Ab1-82) which looks similar to Ea9-26. Interestingly, it is one of four, the last one (not the first). I have picked out a few of the glyphs and created a table with notes and suggestions:

spring GD26 leaning forward, toes visible, right part of 'mouth' small. The last glyph is no. 3 of 8 similar ones. (Possibly no. 2 of 4 if converted, i.e. with 4 'double periods' instead of 8 'single' ones and with 'end of winter' as no. 1)
autumn GD26 with left part of 'mouth' small and with curious 'tail'. Big, straight henua.
beginning of winter 'Tired old bird' (GD54) with GD11 body. GD26 with 'unfinished foot'. Short, straight henua.
end of winter GD26 with 'tail' still just a 'sprout' (or 'spur', tara moa). Big, straight henua, right vertical line in ragi is longer, long flames.

The order between these four seasons is the same as what we saw earlier, but the signs are different. This part of the text in Tahua contains immense amounts of information, quite too much for further investigations at this point. For the moment it is enough to make reasonable the assumption that GD26 has a calendrical meaning.
