In Q
a pure glyph instead is the first among
the 4, and the pair of tagata (Qa6-16--17)
corresponds to the single tagata
in Aa1-71 (which incorporates also a
kai sign). If we read Qa6-15 together with
Qa6-16 it seems to say that the season of
'eating' (spring) is completed (tagata).
If we regard Aa1-71 as standing at day 371 the
signes do not fit with the day number.
But
if we rely on day number 177 it makes sense,
because 6 * 29.5 = 177. Maybe the Tahua
text makes a jump in time beyond rona in
Aa1-69:

Day
number 177 at pure in Aa1-70 was derived
from the idea that a.m. of day 171 is
represented by tagata in Qa6-8 (213) and
that this glyph corresponded to hakaturou
in Aa1-64. If we ignore (jump over) Aa1-69 when
we are counting glyphs, tagata in Aa1-71 will be at day
177, which is the difference between 369 and 192
(= 6 * 32):

In
other words, possibly we should regard Aa1-71 as
the last representative of 3 lunar doublemonths
(59), with
- presumably - the following 192 glyphs
measuring 3 sun doublemonths (64). The 5 feathers
in front in Aa1-72 will be in harmony with such
a thought - high summer 'fire' comes beyond
spring.
In Q it is instead autumn which will
'grow' - there are 4 waxing doublefeathers in
Qa6-17. The 5 feathers in Aa1-72 are not double
feathers, because that would imply the end of
Sun. 'Double' is a character of Moon and Venus,
and they belong in the 'night' (the season after
high summer). There are 2 tagata in Q
above.
Furthermore, towards the end of the year (up to
rona in day 369) also Tahua
exhibits 'double' - cfr the pair flanking
tagata in Aa1-62 and the pair flanking 'The
Temple of Two Truths'. In autumn there are two
'truths', not only waning but also the growth of
'fruits'.
If
this reasoning is correct, we have two
alternatives to chose from. Either the 177th day
of the Moon arrives not far beyond the
birth of the new 'baby' (poki) in Aa1-61 or else the
Tahua text jumps ahead 6 months from Aa1-69 (or
Aa1-70) to Aa1-71. The latter alternative seems
improbable, while the earlier is what could be
expected - the 'Queen' dies in the month One Tea after
having 'given birth' to her 'baby' in the preceding month Tama.
The sands (one) of time have run down and
the hourglass must be turned around.
I.e.
at Aa1-1 it could be lunar day number 177 - 69 = 108.
This number assumes we ignore Aa1-69 when
counting glyphs. Possibly we should ignore also
Aa1-70, because pure could be a 2nd
'zero' glyph. We have to calculate with 108 ± 1.
In
the two tables below my guess for the
end-of-the-year series of day numbers (360 etc)
is based on hakaturou in Aa1-64 standing
at the end of 26 times 14, while Aa1-61 (poki)
could confirm 108 at Aa1-1 if we thought it
reasonable to have 168 at the beginning of a new
'rule' (168 + 24 = 192):

The
shark with a closed mouth will be regarded as
either the last day of the year (368) or as day
number 7 * 25 = 175. Uncertainty does not come
only from Aa1-69, though, because 368 - 175 =
193 (not 192). Maybe we should paint Aa1-66
black instead of Aa1-69? No, that would destroy
the harmony between Aa1-68 and 368. The other
alternative is to
set Aa1-1 as lunar day number 109 (which gives
368 - 109 - 67 = 192). If we then count to Aa1-72
without skipping any glyphs, we will find number
180, which seems to be quite in
agreement with its haga rave sign).

Pure in Aa1-70 is a 'zero' glyph in
agreement with pure in Qa6-14. 6 * 14 = 84 and the force of
3.14 will unavoidably put a 'full stop' at 14.
72 (in Aa1-72) is equal to twice 36 (as the
number of glyphs in the Mamari moon
calendar).
