Ca2-1 Ca2-2 Ca2-3 Ca2-4 Ca2-5 Ca2-6 Ca2-7
7+6+7=20
Ca2-8 Ca2-9 Ca2-10 Ca2-11 Ca2-12 Ca2-13
Ca2-14 Ca2-15 Ca2-16 Ca2-17 Ca2-18 Ca2-19 Ca2-20

Beyond Ca2-6 there are more glyphs of the vai type. If I have guessed right, then it is hardly a coincidence that both line Ca2 and Aa2 have vai glyphs.

Aa2 Aa6 Aa8 Ca2 Ca10 Cb8
2 3 1 4 1 1
6 6
Only vai with double rims (including Aa2-37 and Ca2-5).
Aa1 Ab2 Ab3 Ab6 Ca9 Ca10 Ca11 Ca12 Cb11 Cb12 Cb14
1 1 2 5 1 2 3 1 1 1 1
9 10
Vai with single rims.

I have red-marked Ca2-7 because I suspect that vai and manu rere have similar meanings. In Sunday they both occur:

Hb9-17 Hb9-18 Hb9-19 Hb9-20 Hb9-21

Maybe Hb9-19 corresponds to Na5-113:

Na5-110 Na5-111 Na5-112 Na5-113 Na5-114 Na5-115 Na5-116

A closer look at the surroundings reveals more similarities (for example between Na5-106 and Ca2-4):

 

Na5-101 Na5-102 Na5-103 Na5-104 Na5-105 Na5-106 Na5-107
Na5-108 Na5-109 Na5-110 Na5-111 Na5-112 Na5-113
Na5-114 Na5-115 Na5-116 Na5-117
Probably some 3-4 glyphs are missing here.
Na5-118 Na5-119 Na5-120 Na5-121 Na5-122

Beyond Ca2-20 we find what probably is solar periods:

1 3 glyphs in period 1, 10 in periods 2-4 and 12 in periods 5-7.

Ca3-17 Ca3-18 Ca3-19 Ca3-20

Furthermore, there are 26 glyphs at the beginning of the Mamari text and they are divided into two groups with 18 respectively 8 glyphs:

Adding Ca1-18 and Ca1-25--26 to the 7 periods above we reach 9 periods.
Ca1-1 Ca1-2 Ca1-3 Ca1-4 Ca1-5 Ca1-6
Ca1-7 Ca1-8 Ca1-9 Ca1-10 Ca1-11 Ca1-12
Ca1-13 Ca1-14 Ca1-15 Ca1-16 Ca1-17 Ca1-18
Ca1-19 Ca1-20 Ca1-21 Ca1-22 Ca1-23 Ca1-24 Ca1-25 Ca1-26

Possibly, though, we should add also a period which ends with Ca2-5, thereby reaching a more reasonable 10 periods.

1 18 5 3 8 5
Ca1-18 Ca3-1 Ca3-13
2 8 6 3 9 3
Ca1-25 Ca3-4 Ca3-16
3 5 7 4 10 4
Ca2-5 Ca3-8 Ca3-20
4 18 (6+4=10) + (8+4=14) = 24

(18+18=36) + (14+8=24) = 60

60+13 = 73

Ca2-23

There is, furthermore, another set of these glyphs, presumably defining moon periods:

Ca14-211 Cb2-7 Cb2-16 Cb2-22 Cb2-24 Cb2-25
Cb3-2 Cb3-6 Cb3-12 Cb3-15 Cb3-20 Cb4-2
15 glyphs
Cb4-7 Cb4-12 Cb4-16
