As summer is beginning with moa in Ga3-3, we ought to count 8 * 29.5 = 236 glyphs ahead (half the cycle of the text around) in order to find some kind of end. Half that distance is the season of growth (according to the measure of the moon):

19 66 25
Ga3-3 Ga3-4 Ga3-5 Ga4-1 Ga4-2 Ga4-3 Ga6-13 Ga7-10
24 68 = 4 * 17 26
118 = 4 * 29.5

Beyond the special 26 glyphs at the end of the first moon 'Quarter' (to differentiate from the normal moon 'quarter' = a week), the next moon 'Quarter' is beginning with what I earlier have regarded as a special 32nd period:

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

Ga7-12 (with 7 * 12 = 84 = 3 * 28) I have imagined to be Haga Hônu, because of how it looks, but also for numerical reasons. I wanted to have 96 instead of 94 (counted from Ga4-3) as the season of growing sun. 96 = 4 * 24.

Counting instead from Ga3-3 (exactly one glyph line earlier), the number of days in the season of growing sun will be 120 (96 + 24 = 120). The first 'quarter' of those 120 glyphs belong to the takaúre season, a highly meaningful statement I think, because the structure 3 + 1 for the quarters of the year (with the last quarter 'without' sun) is here repeated, though in opposite order.

Quite possibly we can keep the sun measures without the moon measures disturbing them. Haga Hônu is a sun station, not a moon station, a point where sun has to stop in order to reorientate his 'canoe', while taking a pause for rest. Ga7-14 may be an important sign of this. The 'sails' are at left and have been shifted around. At Ga5-10 the sails are at right, and Ga7-14 therefore presumably indicates their new orientation:

59
Ga5-10 Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14
35 95 96 97 98
59 119 120 121 122

7 * 14 = 98, the canoe belongs to the sun. 98 is one of the numbers counted from henua in Ga4-3, while the second line with ordinal numbers 'belongs to the moon' (they are counted from moa in Ga3-3).

We must avoid being led astray. Our task was to go to the end of the sequence of 236 glyphs. From moa in Ga3-3 to the end of side a there are 229 - 30 (a1) - 29 (a2) - 2 = 168 glyphs! And 236 - 168 = 68! I.e. 8 * 29.5 - 8 * 21 = 8 * 8.5 = 4 * 17 = 4 * 59 - 4 * 42. Counting 68 glyphs from the beginning of side b we arrive at: 26 (b1) + 35 (b2) + 7 (b3):

Gb2-34 Gb2-35 Gb3-1 Gb3-2
Gb3-3 Gb3-4 Gb3-5 Gb3-6
Gb3-7 Gb3-8 Gb3-9 Gb3-10

Beyond Gb3-7 there are lots of 'feather' signs, and Gb3-9 probably illustrates vaha mea, a red opening (new fire) in midwinter. Gb3-8 resembles Ga7-12 somewhat, but is rather a mixture between niu and the glyph type vaha mea.

Gb2-35 has the same kind of sign (though inversed) at left as that at right in Ga8-19 (68 glyphs earlier), and it also appears in Gb1-15:

21 45
Ga8-19 Gb1-15 Gb2-35
161 183 229

The location is the beginning of the takaure season. We have counted with Gb3-2 as its first glyph. Gb3-7 is located 5 days later, and the difference possibly is to be explained as 365 - 360.

57 58
Ga3-3 Ga5-10 Ga7-10
118 = 4 * 29.5
57 58
Ga7-11 Gb1-9 Gb3-7
118 = 4 * 29.5

34 - 11 = 23 (a7) + 26 (a8) + 10 (b1) = 59. Gb1-9 is close to Gb1-6:

Gb1-5 Gb1-6 Gb1-7 Gb1-8
173 174 175 176
Gb1-9 Gb1-10 Gb1-11 Gb1-12
177 178 179 180

6 * 29.5 = 177, which comes close to 6 * 30 = 180 days. As a measure of the summer 'half' of the year south of the equator 177 is better than 180. If we count with 29 we will come to Gb1-6 and we at last can understand where that imposing glyph is standing - halfway around the cycle of the year from Ga3-3 and counted  as 12 * 29 = 348 days .

Ga1-26 should also be counted by the measure 29 (it is a viri too):

208 = 4 * 52
Ga1-26 Gb1-6

30 - 25 = 5 (a1) + 29 (a2) + 3 (moa in a3) = 37 (from Ga1-26 up to and including moa). I.e. the distance covered with these two viri glyphs is 36 + 174 = 210, a number not congruent with 29. But counting the other way, the distance becomes 471 - 210 = 261 = 9 * 29.

  261 = 9 * 29
Ga3-3   Gb1-6 Ga1-26
174 = 6 * 29
435 = 15 * 29

It was important to put moa on the same map as Gb1-6 and Ga1-26. These three key glyphs strengthen each other. 471 - 435 = 36 (which we already knew because we have just measured the distance from Ga1-26 to moa).

We must add the end of the year according to the measure 12 * 29 = 348 to our earlier description:

 
Gb4-26 Gb4-27 Gb4-28 Gb4-29 Gb4-30 Gb4-31 Gb4-32
347 348 349 350 351 352 353
Gb4-33 Gb5-1 Gb5-2 Gb5-3 Gb5-4 Gb5-5 Gb5-6
354 355 356 357 358 359 360
Gb5-7 Gb5-8 Gb5-9 Gb5-10 Gb5-11 Gb5-12
361 362 363 364 365 366

Although Gb4-27 is not on the 'same map' as moa and the two viri glyphs, because the counting is here based on a start with Gb8-30.

Beginning with moa in Ga3-3 glyph number 348 becomes Gb6-27:

  173 87
Ga3-3   Gb1-6 Gb6-27 Ga1-26
174 = 6 * 29 261 = 9 * 29
435 = 15 * 29

The 'sun flame' at top right in Gb6-27 has a shape similar to that in Gb4-28, and it also agrees with that in Gb2-23:

79 60
Gb2-23 Gb4-28 Gb6-27
208 = 13 * 16 287 348 = 12 * 29

Maro in Gb2-23 indicates we should count 471 - 79 = 392 = 7 * 7 * 8.
