All these glyphs contain lots of signs, hands in different shapes and positions, some have feathers on their heads, small fish, medium fish, large fish, no fish.

Especially Aa7-54 looks complex, with an abnormally long neck, an arm in front resembling that when the Sun just has passed noon (= hakaturou), a leg (vai) and a line (tui) from that to a lean fish (ika).

Tui = "1. to sew mats, to make strings. 2. the three stars of Orion's Belt."  

Hanau = "1. race, ethnic group. Hanau eepe, the thick-set race; hanau momoko, the slender race (these terms were mistranslated as long-ears and short-ears). 2. to be born. Hanau tama, pregnant woman; vî'e hanau poki, midwive (also: vî'e hakaa'u)." (Vanaga)
