In presenting the words of Metoro I have used what may be called 'markers', i.e. glyphs or signs at which I have learnt to recognize that Metoro often tends to use specific words.

These specific words of Metoro I have identified with red colour, as for example Rei in Ab1-5.

Where I have not been able to understand which glyph Metoro means, I have let his words cover more than one glyph, e.g. in the beginning of the text below.

I have copied the Polynesian text of Metoro from Barthel.

Ab1-1 Ab1-2 Ab1-3 Ab1-4 Ab1-5 Ab1-6 Ab1-7 Ab1-8
Te hoea - rutua te pahu - rutua te maeva - atua rerorero - atua ata tuu atua ata Rei - tuu te Rei hemoa i ako te vai Ko te maitaki - ko te maharoga
