As I have been accustomed to, searching and finding analogous glyphs in other calendars, I now search the night calendar in Tahua and - sure enough - there are signs of haga in the three hours in the 2nd half of the night. But it is not so easy to see them, and therefore I refer to two parallel glyphs in H instead:
Ha5-47 Ha5-48

Indeed there we can see double haga in both glyphs. And - instead of the toa tauuru (GD47) we find a GD64 type of glyph. It seems that such a one is equivalent to a toa tauuru. GD47 might be tôa = sugar cane and GD64 to'a = (foreign) warrior, cfr what Barthel has to say about this in my Polynesian dictionary.

In H the double haga are located in the last and the 2nd last hours of the night, wheras a single haga is found in the 3 last hours of the night in Tahua. (If they be hours.)

Does this mean that the daylight is 'breaking' in? The hand outwards oriented in Ha5-48 reminds me of the similar glyph (Aa1-30) at the end of the appearance of the sun (8th period of the day):

And now I am also capable of recognizing a haga in the upper flame at right, perhaps even in the arm.
