The strange object held up high like a big fish

is similar to how Tahua depicts two parallel glyphs in another sequence containing GD61:

In spite of the very different forms - compared to ordinary GD61-glyphs - we probably should draw the conclusion that they are parallel in meaning. (And I will keep these different glyphs behind the 'door' GD61 for the moment, although form and not meaning should govern where to put glyphs in the catalogue.)

Two more examples in Tahua:

where Metoro once again mentions mago (shark). I am at last beginning to get some returns from the big investment in time and energy needed for documenting all the rongorongo texts.
