I need to describe the next pages about poporo here, and mirror-wise I need to discribe in the glyph dictionary the most relevant discoveries pertaining to Te Pei - and of necessity also the kuhane structure found in G. The last mentioned problem I plan to solve by including, in the poporo summary page, a link to an excursion searching for Te Pei among the glyphs in G. But the first mentioned problem should be solved here and now:

4. There is only one inversed henua ora sign in the whole corpus of rongorongo texts, viz. towards the end of the K calendar, and its meaning should be similar to the meaning of the parallel Ga7-15, where hua poporo has a sign of darkness: Kb4-15 Kb4-16 Kb4-17 Kb4-18 Kb4-19 Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 Ga7-14 Ga7-15 Ga7-16 Ga7-17 Ga7-18 Ga7-19 Ga7-20 In the following Ga7-20 a closed fist (meaning 'full' and 'not emitting any light') is held high with all fingers inside so nothing can emerge. But the fist will soon open up, letting the fingers (fire) loose one by one, so the light (life) can flow out. In South Pacific the islands have a dark side and a light side, and - somewhat surprisingly - it is the east side which is 'black' and the west side which is 'white'. Although sun of course is rising in the east, his companion the moon (Hina) is rising in the west, and she has always been regarded as 'white' (in opposition to the red or yellow sun). "The veil of Latona, the mother of Apollo and Diana (Sun and Moon), was black. The Hindus of north-west India still worship 'Suria', the sun, under the emblem of a black stone. The colour of the Egyptian bulls Apis and Mnevis was black, and in the hieroglyphic representations of acts of consecration or anointing, the officiating priests is painted black, and the recipient of the ceremony is painted red; this more especially in upper Egypt. Hence the black colour would seem to indicate superior sacredness. It is possible that from these and similar considerations of superiority or sacredness arose the Polynesian proverb (in Hawaiian), 'he weo ke kanaka, he pano he alii', red is the common man, dark is the chief. In 'Polynesian Researches' the Rev. Mr. Ellis explains a similar expression in Tahiti, from the fact that a dark and bronsed complexion was looked upon, among the chiefs, as a sign of manliness, hardihood, and exposure to fatigue and danger, and a pale complexion was considered a sign of effeminacy. The probable reason and explanation of the proverb may be found in the grander amount of tattooing with which the bodies of the chiefs were adorned. As late as the time of Kamehameha I of Hawaii, his rival, Kahekili, King of Maui, had one half of his body entirely blackened by tattooing. The connection of the black colour with Siwa's symbols may be found in the Hindu legend, according to which, at the churning of the sea of milk for the production of Amutham (the Ambrosia of immortality) Siwa, the supreme, was appealed to by the other gods to remove the poison vomited in the Ambrosia by the serpent Vasuke. He complied with their request by drinking up the poison, but from that time he was known by the name of 'the azure-necked one' , because the colour of the poison remained on his neck as a sign of what he had done. - See Oriental Illustrations, by J. Roberts, p. 6." (Fornander)   To express it concisely: Both Apollo (sun) and Diana (moon) had the black veil of Latona as their mother. The beginning is black, and the black cloth recovers her progeny when they fall on their faces.

Ga7-11 is tama and Ga7-16 mago. Recently I said Tama (the kuhane station) was expressed in G by the tama glyph type because mago would be misleading.

... On the other hand, tama primarily means child, not shark, as we have noted in the text of G. Moving inland from the sea a shark is a good vehicle for the sun child and from that he will arrive at the moon beach One Tea., prior to moving further up (= east to Hanga Takaure, and then also vertically upwards to Poike). But the shark (mago) glyph type has a special function and meaning, therefore a tama glyph is quite in order at the Tama station, I think. I.e. we should disregard the inedible shark at Tama - the station has nothing to do with sharks according to G. Only the contrast between I E and I G remains valid. If one wished to contrast II E with II G it must be in the dimension of life (real children contra flies = spirits for the future children).

Here we can see that tama is close to mago. And both are in the midst of the 'potential black', immediately beyond the kiore - henua season. Using the map of the moon, instead, the time of Nga Kope Ririva has not yet arrived, and it is the shadow from Maunga Hau Epa which creates the darkness:

Hanga Takaure		Te Piringa Aniva
	Ga1-1 (1)		Ga1-29 (29)	Ga1-30 (30)
Te Kioe Uri		Te Manavai
	Ga2-29 (59)		Ga4-5 (88)	Ga4-6 (89)
Te Poko Uri		Te Pu Mahore
	Ga5-8 (118)		Ga6-7 (147)	Ga6-8 (148)
Nga Kope Ririva		Maunga Hau Epa
	Ga7-8 (177)		Ga8-3 (206)	Ga8-4 (207)

There are several mago glyphs in G, but not until (sun time) Ga7-16 does his mouth open (maybe meaning 2 as in the two phases of the moon):

Ga2-14	Ga3-23	Ga7-16
Gb6-11	Gb6-13	Gb7-13	Gb7-16

We should notice the same ordinal numbers for the last mago glyphs on each side. 16 equals the number of kuhane stations on the south coast.

Tama and mago on side a should be compared with tama and mago on side b:

Te Pei		Te Pou
	Gb1-7 (236)		Gb2-10 (265)	Gb2-11 (266)
Hua Reva		Akahanga
	Gb3-5 (295)		Gb4-4 (324)	Gb4-5 (325)
Hatinga Te Kohe		Roto Iri Are
	Gb5-1 (354)		Gb6-1 (383)	Gb6-2 (384)
Tama		One Tea
	Gb7-3 (413)		Gb8-1 (442)	Gb8-2 (443)
Hanga Takaure
	Ga1-1 (472

The moon is soon arriving to her end station (One Tea), and possibly on side a it is the sun who by the signs of tama and mago reaches his end station:

Ga7-11	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14	Ga7-15
Ga7-16	Ga7-17	Ga7-18	Ga7-19	Ga7-20

Gb6-17	Gb6-18	Gb6-19	Gb6-20	Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24
Gb6-25	Gb6-26	Gb6-27	Gb6-28	Gb7-1	Gb7-2	Gb7-3	Gb7-4
Gb7-5	Gb7-6	Gb7-7	Gb7-8	Gb7-9	Gb7-10	Gb7-11
Gb7-12	Gb7-13	Gb7-14	Gb7-15	Gb7-16	Gb7-17

There are 5 glyphs (sun) from Ga7-11to Ga7-16, but 13 from Gb7-3 to Gb7-16.

Obvious, once you have noted it, is the single version on side a contrasted with the double version on side b (cfr Gb6-17 together with Gb6-25, and Gb7-5 together with Gb7-12). Maybe sun is the first of the two on side b.
