GD17 glyphs at which Metoro neither said honu, tagata nor tamaiti:

The takaure glyph type will be GD95. In the same manner as when GD94 (vero) will be integrated with the rest of the dictionary I do not intend to delete the corresponding glyphs (from GD17 respectively GD22). The more general identifying characteristics needed to classify glyphs according to how they look will remains as earlier and the glyph catalogue will not be changed to include new glyph types added in the glyph dictionary.

I have already earlier assembled in the Polynesian dictionary a hyperlink takaure in the vocabulary of Metoro. Similar links lead from the words veveke, pepe and koka to the same page:

I have here red-marked three glyphs (Ca6-14, Ea9-11 and Eb7-23) which do not appear among the 98 glyphs above. I could have classified Ea9-11 as GD17, but not the other two glyphs. As it is, Ea9-11 has been classified among 'glyphs which seem to be partly destroyed and cannot be identified'. There is no reason to change that although Metoro probably is correct in suggesting takaure for the glyph.

Ca6-14 and Eb7-23 will not be included among the takaure (GD95) glyphs. The classification for the extended part of the dictionary (GD91 etc) must be based on how glyphs look and not on the words of Metoro.

On the other hand, Ba7-11 and Ca6-13 - which appear redmarked among the 98 glyphs above - must be considered to belong to GD95:

In C the situation is complicated. I have classified Ca6-13 and Ca6-15 as GD95, while Metoro has mentioned takaure at Ca6-14. Is Ca6-14 a kind of insect with 4 + 5 = 9 legs?

Interesting is how in Ca6-12 vai appears immediately before the sequence Ca6-13--15. I have guessed that the takaure glyph type represent spring sun in some incarnation and when sun now appears (as vai) we have a kind of confirmation. We should also note the sun eye in Ca6-13.

In Ca6-11 niu has two creatures dangling, maybe the 1st 'year' and the 2nd 'year'?

The key word makere in Ba7-11 made me search for more makere glyphs, and I found one more example, and I thereafter added both makere glyphs to the vocabulary of Metoro:

In Barthel 2 we find information about makere:

"... Teke said to Oti, 'Go and take the hauhau tree, the paper mulberry tree, rushes, tavari plants, uku koko grass, riku ferns, ngaoho plants, the toromiro tree, hiki kioe plants (Cyperus vegetus), the sandalwood tree, harahara plants, pua nakonako plants, nehenehe ferns, hua taru grass, poporo plants, bottle gourds (ipu ngutu), kohe plants, kavakava atua ferns, fragrant tuere heu grass, tureme grass (Diochelachne sciurea), matie grass, and the two kinds of cockroaches makere and hata.'

Oti and all his assistants went and took the hauhau tree with them. All kinds of things (i.e., plants) and insects were taken along ..."

We haver earlier noted how the plants evidently were arranged (according to manuscript E and Barthel) into a system structured as 7 * 4 = 28:

The first 6 plants (A-F in the first column) were enumerated earlier in the text of manuscript E, while toa (sugarcane) was added as a last item in the inventory.

The insects (makere and hata) completes the cycle of the month, representing the dark nights of new moon.

"... The division into quarters of a 28-series can be applied to the main phases of the moon during the visible period as well as to a (reflex of the old world?) sidereal month.

The separate subgroup (29 makere - 30 hata) consists of the names of two types of cockroaches, but in related eastern Polynesian languages these names can also be explained on a different level. MAO. makere, among others, 'to die', and whata, among others, 'to be laid to rest on a platform', deserve special attention.

The theme hinted at is one of death and burial. In our scheme they occur at just that time when the moon 'has died'! This lends further support to the lunar thesis." (Barthel 2)

I reflect. First: There is no indication in the Mamari moon calendar of any 'insects' nor of Metoro having seen any:

Secondly: I remember vai o hata:

Barthel has suggested  'to be laid to rest on a platform' (Ma. whata) as a possible reading for the very last part of a month. At the same time hata is a kind of cockroach. I imagine that the dry status of rustling cockroaches is the goal for those who have laid the dead body on the platform:

They continually puncture the body all over with fine needles. Yet I think it is rather farfetched to allude via choking on a fishbone (Ca9-6):

Ca9-4--5 is, though, similar to Aa2-2--3. There is vai and there is a bend. Maybe, after the body fluids of the sun have been drained he has a single rim?

I have now inserted a hyperlink with the label makere leading to the takaure page, where all the insect glyphs (as defined by Metoro) are assembled.

Next logical step is to assemble a page also for the hata glyphs. It proves to be rather easy, only four instances can be found:

No glyphs of the takaure type are near these hata glyphs. Insects are not depicted here.

The very small marks at bottom left in Aa2-2 and Aa2-20 may be fishbones, though, which could illustrate how the fluid is being tapped from the 'bowl'.

As to to hata it seems to be an ancient formulation:

I think there are similarities between the glyphs around Bb5-2 and those around Ca9-6 (ku hakaraoa):

In Bb4-42 we have the last glyph in line b4 and the combination 4-42 suggests final indeed, the last quarter and beyond 42 there will be a kind of rebirth. Bb5-3 with the famous tanu te tau moko, bury the stone lizard, points to the season when

...  on amassait des vivres, on faisait fête. On emmaillotait un corail, pierre de défunt lezard, on l'enterrait, tanu. Cette cérémonie était un point de départ pour beacoup d'affaires, notamment de vacances pour le chant des tablettes ou de la priére, tanu i te tau moko o tana pure, enterrer la pierre sépulcrale de lézard de sa prière ...

At Bb1-24 Metoro said kua hupe and that leads me to the following passage in Barthel 2:

Although it all becomes very long and complicated it is now necessary to proceed with another hupe(e) story in B.
