The last of the pages for the kiore - henua glyphs in G still has 94, but maybe I ought to add an excursion later on to change it into 96:

 Beyond Gb5-6 to the end of the takaure season there are 112 + 84 = 196 glyphs:

67

111

82

Gb3-1

Gb5-6

Gb8-30 Ga1-1 Ga4-1

Ga4-2

68 112 84
264

Adding 68 glyphs we reach 264 (i.e. 364 - 100), as if it was a lesser kind of year. Adding Ga4-2 we reach 265 (= 365 - 100). This we should do because Ga4-2 does not belong to the following summer season.

265 = 5 * 53, and 53 is a number similar to 29 (the dark night of the month). 52 * 7 = 364 and 53 * 7 = 371 = 471 - 100.

112, the number of glyphs beyond the end of summer to the end of side b, is equal to the number of glyphs beyond the growing light season to what we have assumed is the beginning of declining light:

92 55 55 67
Ga4-3 Ga7-10 Gb1-6 Gb3-1 Gb5-6
94 112 68
180
274

Here Gb3-1 is not counted twice. Instead takaure is described as a 'lesser kind of year' (only 265 instead of 365).

94 + 112 = 206 and 471 = 206 + 265. Summer ends with Gb3-1. Maybe Gb3-1 is Hanga Hoonu? I have initially classified all takaure glyphs as honu.

In summer 94 up is followed by 112 level, in takaure 68 down is followed by 112 level. If 265 + 206 = 471 is a good map, then we should notice how 68 + 112 = 180, while 94 + 112 = 180 + 26. In other words: Summer has 180 + 26 days, and takaure has 180 + 84 days.

Can we identify 26 glyphs which will support this map? They must be located in the interval Ga4-3 to Ga7-10. Reasonably they must be at the end of this interval, because in the beginning takaure is adjoining. Let us count from the end, then:

23
Ga6-9 Ga6-10 Ga6-11
64 65 66
24
Ga6-12 Ga6-13 Ga6-14 Ga6-15 Ga6-16
67 68 1 2 3
25 Appropriately Ga6-13 is a simple henua glyph, and the period number for change 24.

68 + 112 = 180

Ga6-17 Ga6-18
4 5
26
Ga6-19 Ga6-20
6 7
27
Ga6-21 Ga6-22 Ga6-23
8 9 10
28
Ga6-24 Ga6-25 Ga6-26
11 12 13
29
Ga6-27 Ga6-28 Ga6-29
14 15 16
30
Ga7-1 Ga7-2 Ga7-3 Ga7-4
17 18 19 20
31
Ga7-5 Ga7-6 Ga7-7 Ga7-8 Ga7-9 Ga7-10
21 22 23 24 25 26

It fits. I must add a page in the glyph dictionary to discribe it. A modified map for summer will be:

65 25 55 55
Ga4-3 Ga6-12 Ga6-13 Ga7-10 Gb1-6 Gb3-1
68 26 112 →
94
206

Is Ga6-12 at Hanga Hoonu? The distance between Hanga Takaure and Hanga Hoonu would be the magical 68. It appears to be a too small number, I would like 96 instead. That would take us 28 steps ahead arriving at:

Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14
27 28 29 30

7 * 12 = 84 = 3 * 28, and the creature has 4 + 4 = 8 limbs. The 'mouth' looks like a haga rave sign. The kuhane should measure with 28, being a female, and the Mamari moon calendar has 8 periods. I think we may have found Hanga Hoonu. But then we definitely need to adjust Barthel's coordinations for the kuhane map. This is the latest renovated version:

-

Te Piringa Aniva

-

Roto Iri Are

-

Maunga Teatea

Nga Kope Ririva

Te Pu Mahore

Te Pei

Te Pou

Tama

One Tea

Mahatua

Taharoa

Te Poko Uri

Te Manavai

Hua Reva

Akahanga

Hanga Takaure

Poike

Hanga Hoonu

Rangi Meamea

Te Kioe Uri

-

Hatinga Te Kohe

-

Pua Katiki

 

Peke Tau O Hiti

Mauga Hau Epa

-

84 = 6 * 14

96 = 6 * 16

112 = 7 * 16

68 = 4 * 17

180

180

We notice how beyond Hanga Hoonu comes the very red mountain (Rangi Meamea). This mountain is according to its name in the middle of summer and it agrees with the map of G (as I have interpreted its text).

From Rangi Meamea we can count 7 redmarked kuhane stations, presumably 112 days (7 * 16 = 112). From Ga7-11 there are 112 glyphs to the end of summer. We cannot expect an exact correspondence between different 'maps', but the number measures should in general agree.

We must include the extra 4 stations and go back to basics, counting stations:

Te Pei Te Pou     5
Hua Reva Akahanga Hatinga Te Kohe  
Roto Iri Are Tama One Tea   13
Hanga Takaure Poike Pua Katiki Maunga Teatea
Mahatua Taharoa Hanga Hoonu  
Rangi Meamea Peke Tau O Hiti Mauga Hau Epa  
Nga Kope Ririva

Te Pu Mahore

Te Poko Uri Te Manavai
Te Kioe Uri Te Piringa Aniva
Oromanga Hanga Moria One
Papa O Pea Ahu Akapu

5 + 13 = 18 stations (from Te Pei to Mauga Hau Epa) would according to the above be a measure the first part of the year.

Beginning with 'growing light' - corresponding to what happens beyond the 'fire generator' and Rei - I imagine Roto Iri Are is the proper first kuhane station (the 5th of them):

Ga2-26

Ga2-27

6 periods in G could be equal to 3 kuhane stations in this region of time, which means Hanga Takaure will correspond to the 7th period:

7
Ga4-1 Ga4-2 Ga4-3 Ga4-4

31 - 6 = 25 'growth season' periods follow. Then we will arrive at Hanga Hoonu:

Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14

7 kuhane stations will cover the whole distance, 96 days. If we count beyond the 7th station instead from it (which is the normal way to count), there will be 16 * 6 = 96 days, a very reasonable measure.

We do not have to continue beyond that point, it is the beginning of summer (kiore - henua) which is the current subject.
