I would like to take the opportunity to show and remark upon the glyphs at the very beginning of Tahua (on side a):

Aa1-1 Aa1-2 Aa1-3 Aa1-4 Aa1-5 Aa1-6 Aa1-7 Aa1-8

I guess that the four last glyphs (variants of GD32) could represent the four quarters in time-space, the two preceeding glyphs exhibiting ragi being a pair of months, and the two at the beginning a kind of of introduction - a chicken shouting high and an emblem for the lights in the night.

The squarish left (in the past) legs in Aa1-3--4 may well illustrate the concept of period, here perhaps a quarter of a year. Squarish legs, arms, feet, breasts etc could be signs of henua.

Notice also the strange outdrawn lower chins at the opposite side (top right in front) in Aa1-3--4. We have seen that earlier, in Eb2-15, in Eb3-25 and in Eb5-33. This pointed chin could indicate for instance the First Point in Aries, cfr Gb7-25.
