108 is also the number of glyphs (counted from the beginning of the calendar) up to the special ua immediately before two vae kore glyphs in the 17th period of Keiti: Eb4-32 Eb4-33 Eb4-34 Eb4-35 Eb4-36 Eb4-37 (108) Furthermore, 108 is the ordinal number (counted beyond the 1st Rei) for the only ua glyph in K. Eb4-38 Eb4-39 Eb4-40 Eb4-41 Eb4-42 Eb5-1 Eb5-2 Eb5-3 The summary page at ua: "The ua glyph type seems to be associated with the arrival of the season when sun no longer is high in the sky ..." We can now add another example: Aa6-4 Aa6-5 Aa6-6 (464) Aa6-7

108 was on preceding page used for moving from 364 to 472 in Tahua:

Ab8-43 (1)		Aa4-71 (364)		Aa6-5	Aa6-6 (464)		Aa6-14 (472)
... By adding 108 (a numinous number) to vae kore at Aa4-71 we can identify what in A corresponds to the end of the text in G (viz. Hanga Takaure) ...

The statement is both false and true, we now know. It is Hanga Takaure, but not the same station as at Ga1-1.

Presumably we can in Tahua count with two glyph per day, in which case Aa4-71 will be located 182 days from Te  Pito (we should use Capital Letters and definite article because it is a sun station).

From Aa4-71 to Aa6-14 there will be 108 / 2 = 54 days. 182 + 54 = 236 days is the 'life' of the sun.

We recognize that number, it is equal to 4 * 59, the number of Te Pei, half the cycle of the text in G.

In G (as in the kuhane stations) pito is not determined, it is indefinite. There is no glyph of the pito type in G.

108 glyphs (52 days) beyond day number 182 comes the point where sun is finished. With two glyphs per day we should show both:

1		182		236 = 8 * 29.5

The sun version of Hanga Takaure (at Aa6-14) is halfway to the moon version of Hanga Takaure (at Ga1-1).

108 in E and K are numbers connected with ua. In Tahua the ua season seems to arrive 4 days before the end of sun:

Aa6-4	Aa6-5	Aa6-6 (464)	Aa6-7
231		232 = 8 * 29

With Hanga Te Pau at day 366 (according to G), we should count twice 366 = 732 glyphs in A.

732 - 42 (side b) = 690. Glyph Ab1-20 should be the one:

1		182		232
236		366

But there was another glyph, a glyph with double pau signs, and it arrives 29 glyphs beyond Aa6-14 (Te Pei):

Aa6-39	Aa6-40	Aa6-41	Aa6-42 (500)	Aa6-43 (501)	Aa6-44	Aa6-45	Aa6-46

We can look for the corresponding glyph in G by counting 14 beyond Te Pei:

Gb1-2	Gb1-3	Gb1-4	Gb1-5	Gb1-6	Gb1-7 (1)
Gb1-8	Gb1-9	Gb1-10	Gb1-11	Gb1-12	Gb1-13
Gb1-14	Gb1-15	Gb1-16	Gb1-17	Gb1-18	Gb1-19
Gb1-20	Gb1-21 (15)	Gb1-22	Gb1-23	Gb1-24	Gb1-25

Gb1-21 is a unique glyph, not like any other in all the rongorongo texts.
