i areheu ia	ka heheu	i te nuku

At Aa2-28 Metoro said areheu which maybe means 'dig out the offspring':

Are To dig out (e.g. sweet potatoes). Formerly this term only applied to women, speaking of men one said keri, which term is used nowadays for both sexes, e.g. he-keri i te kumara, he digs out sweet potatoes. Vanaga. To dig, to excavate. Churchill. Are occurs in 13 Roto Iri Are: Aa2-8 13 Roto Iri Are Next station is 14 Tama and Aa2-28 is 20 glyphs beyond Aa2-8.

Heu Offspring of parents from two different tribes, person of mixed descent, e.g. father Miru, mother Tupahotu. Heuheu, body hair (except genitals and armpits). Vanaga. 1. Heheu; ivi heheu, the cachalot, bone needle; hakaheu, spade, to shovel, to grub up, to scratch the ground, to labor; rava hakaheu, laborious, toilsome. 2. Hakaheu, affair. Churchill. M. Heu, to separate, to pull asunder; the eaves of a house; heu, a single hair; hau. to hew; heru, to comb; huru, hair on the body; down; feathers; maheu, scattered; maheuheu, shrubs; mahuru, scrub; heuea, to be separated.

The location 2-28 could allude to day number 228, because the unusual glyph type occurs at the beginning of side b in G:

Ga8-24 (228)	Ga8-25	Ga8-26	Gb1-1	Gb1-2	Gb1-3
Gb1-4	Gb1-5	Gb1-6
Gb1-7	Gb1-8	Gb1-9	Gb1-10 (240)	Gb1-11	Gb1-12

8 * 24 = 192 and Ga8-24 is a hanau glyph. To 'dig out the offspring' sounds quite similar to 'birth'.

Beyond the darkest time of the year comes Rogo and a new year is born. A similar situation rules at the end of the lightest time of the year.

It has been discovered that kara etahi is a glyph type which is connected with a peculiar sort of manu rere, for instance is Aa2-33 related to manu rere in Ab6-37:

	547	440
Aa2-33 (123)			Ab6-37
	988 = 19 * 52

The distance from kara etahi to manu rere is here 988 (= 19 * 52 glyphs), and 9 * 88 is equal to 8 * 99.

Number 123 (counted from Aa1-1) possibly alludes to  12 * 3 = 36, because the number of glyphs beyond Ab6-37 to the end of side b (223) could mean 2 * 23 = 46. Though it is also a fact that 1 * 23 + 2 * 23 = 69, which number has 6 ('one more' than 5, rima) at the beginning and 9 at the end. There are 5 feathers at left in Aa2-29.

We can count 2 lunar months from 'hakaturou':

	58
Aa1-64		Aa2-33 (123)
	59 = 2 * 29.5

This suggests that kara etahi could represent the beginning of the 'front side' of the calendar. In G there are 59 glyphs from tamaiti in Gb7-3 (414) to the end of side b.

The end of the 'back side' would then be:

Aa2-28 (118)	Aa2-29	Aa2-30	Aa2-31	Aa2-32
i areheu ia	ka heheu	i te nuku	henua noho ragi	koia kua hua

The nuku glyph type has no hands (rima, fire). Neither has the sky (ragi) in Aa2-31 any moon crescent sign - the sky is dark. And mauga in Aa2-32 (where 2 * 32 = 64) has no mata.

The strange Aa2-29 has 5 feathers at left and 2 at right, as if to suggest a conjunction between fire (rima) and water (the 2nd season). In the very beginning there was no light, only darkness. Sky and earth were close together and the offspring were in between them. Metoro has expressed it as henua noho ragi - the earth is residing together with the sky.

It was anticipated:

						53
Aa1-59	Aa1-60	Aa1-61	Aa1-62	Aa1-63	Aa1-64		Aa2-28 (118)
	59

Maybe the unusual glyph type in Aa2-28 represents a picture of the cosmic domains: Sky, Earth, and Underworld. In Gb1-9 the Sky part (i.e. spring sun) is in the past:
