The signs clearly tell me to stop here. I will do that by noting that I still haven't presented item GD74 in my dictionary and I do this now. I was reminded of this (GD74) from two more directions too:

1. The occurrence of GD42 and GD23 at locations nos. 1 (Ab3-68) respectively 13 (Ab4-3) in that sequence with 24 glyphs in Tahua which I called A1 some pages ago.

2. Simultaneously with writing all these pages I am struggling to document the text of Tahua (and of H/P/Q) and I have difficulties with presenting the glyphs Aa2-9--67 in the order which surely must be there. They number 59 (= number of nights in a double moon month) so the start and the end I am sure of. I have also noted that these 59 glyphs contain 5 striped henua + a minor one in Aa2-48 (for the monkey, I think!).

A variant of striped henua is also located in that 24-glyph sequence mentioned above, and there it arrives as glyph no. 12, i.e. it presumably announces the end of the first half of this 24-glyph sequence. The picture becomes:

  first glyph last glyph
1st half
2nd half

Young solar bird at the beginning of the 1st half, young moon bird at the beginning of the 2nd half? They are too young to fly. Are they moa then? I take courage and finish these ornithological studies by documenting also GD42 and GD23 in my dictionary. (I can always change their contents later with more experience and insight.)
