Summer measures 3 * 59 = 177 days according to Pachamama, 6 lunar months. It was the moon who gave time anciently, who governed the schedule of growth and death. A full cycle was twice 177 = 6 * 59 = 354 days.

The 'carapace of the turtle' (of the sun animal) is cracked at the top in the picture, meaning a gap not covered by the calendar:

I think Hanga Te Pau stands in front of that gap:

The gap measures 2 * 53 = 106 glyphs. It would be useless to translate those 106 glyphs into 106 days, because they cannot be here on earth where we could see them - we experience only the 'carapace' (the days of the calendar).

Yet, the numbers we can experience. 471 - 365 = 106 and 471 - 354 = 117 = 9 * 13, the measure of high summer according to the skirt of Pachamama. These 9 * 13 days are ominous, because at solstice the head must be cut off from the 'monster'.

How do we explain that high summer in the Pachamama skirt is extending 117 days, when in G those 117 reappear as the number of glyphs beyond 354? In the G text 117 is the number of the 4th quarter, it appears, 16 more than 91 (upside down 16).

9 * 13 could have been chosen as a doubly ominous number for the gap beyond the calendar with 6 lunar double-months. In the skirt 117 is flanked by 5 * 5 + 7 * 5 days. The explorers stayed for 5 days at Haga Hônu and 7 days at Haga Takaúre, also the pattern 5 + 7. Is that coincidence?

We have mapped 25 glyphs from the beginning of the text (Ga1-1--25). Then we have looked at the end of side b and found 5 + 25 glyphs:

5 + 25 + 25 = 55. If we add the following 5 we will reach 60:

Gb7-26	Gb7-27	Gb7-28	Gb7-29	Gb7-30

During the very last days of the calendar round (according to G) there should be a time of rest (sun does not seem to move):

The explorers did indeed stay for 10 days at Haga Te Pau when they arrived there:

When the measure established by the moon for the voyage of the sun has run out (6 lunar double monthts) sun will take a rest at Haga Te Pau for 10 days. He will be 'finished' (decapitated) next day, just after midnight I guess. In Gb5-12 he has already been swallowed ('swollen' must basically mean the same thing) and haga rave is empty.

The explorers took a 7 days rest at Haga Takaúre and rested for 5 days at Haga Hônu. Probably this is because the sun is resting also at summer solstice. 12 days' rest in summer and 10 days' rest in winter will add up to 22 days. These days are not in the 'crack in the shell' if we count with a solar calendar. In such a calendar the 'crack' to leap over is only 1 day (365 - 364).

The carapace of the turtle is broken only at the top. Even if the head of the 1st half of the year is cut off in the middle of summer the calendar remains intact. Maybe that explains why the resting time of the sun in summer has been put in two places in its 'carapace'.

There are two openings in the carapace, though, one in front (mua) and one at the back (muri). These could correspond to Haga Takaúre and Haga Hônu respectively.

They could be located at the equinoxes, but they could also be located at the early morning rising times of Anamua respectively Anamuri.

The crack in the shell apparently was located not at solstice but at autumn equinox (in the west) according to the text in G. The western side of the island was the side corresponding to the side where sun went down in the evening. Therefore, the two openings ought to be at Anakena and at Vinapu, with Poike marking the 'belly of the sun'.

If the explorers behaviour mimics the behaviour of the sun then we maybe should search for haga rave signs at the beginning and end of summer. The openings in the carapace (cfr picture above) are designed in a form similar to that in haga rave.

Let us look again at those glyphs which I have documented as haga rave in my glyph catalogue:

I have redmarked those glyphs which are close to multiples of 73 (= 365 / 5):

The glyph catalogue cannot be relied upon to produce all haga rave signs, the glyph type is too difficult to capture in toto. Therefore we should look at '73- places':

3
	Ga3-10	Ga3-11	Ga3-12	Ga3-13	Ga3-14	Ga3-15	Ga3-16

This is a promising location, with a mago-like glyph in Ga3-13 and with other signs indicating ending and new beginning. I have classified Ga3-13 as a variant of vaha mea:

Next comes 2 * 73 = Ga6-6, with another vaha mea variant immediately before (just as Ga3-13 is the glyph preceding number 73):

22
	Ga6-5	Ga6-6	Ga6-7	Ga6-8

22 - 3 = 19 may be significant.

Ga8-16 (= 3 / 5 * 365 = 219) is presumably also relevant in this 5-star pattern of the sun cycle:

Ga8-11	Ga8-12	Ga8-13	Ga8-14	Ga8-15
Ga8-16	Ga8-17	Ga8-18	Ga8-19	Ga8-20

Ga8-15 has a curve at top which once persuaded me to classify the glyph as having a sign of haga rave. The head has gone in Ga8-18. But there is no vaha mea glyph in the surroundings. The parallel K text has just ended, and - I have inferred - summer is past.

The 4th 'corner' is Gb3-2, and I have redmarked also two vaha mea glyphs in the surroundings:

Gb2-27	Gb2-28	Gb2-29	Gb2-30	Gb2-31
Gb2-32	Gb2-33	Gb2-34	Gb2-35	Gb3-1
Gb3-2	Gb3-3	Gb3-4	Gb3-5	Gb3-6
Gb3-7	Gb3-8	Gb3-9	Gb3-10	Gb3-11

I imagine we have here a description of the arrival of new light (as it seems in a canoe, Gb3-2). Notice the 'equation' vaha mea = tapa mea in Gb3-9. Notice also the takaure glyphs, vaguely resembling in general form the vaha mea glyphs.

The vaha mea glyphs in the catalogue are much safer to rely on than the haga rave glyphs. I have redmarked those we have found close to '73-glyphs':
