Comparing with the first 16 glyphs on side a of G we will find hardly any similarities. The ordinal numbers in the glyph line are 32 higher in A. Only at position 15 counted from the beginning of the 'front side' is there a parallel in form of tapa mea:

Aa2-33 (1) Aa2-34 Aa2-35 Aa2-36 Aa2-37 Aa2-38
Ga1-1 Ga1-2 Ga1-3 Ga1-4 Ga1-5 Ga1-6
Aa2-39 Aa2-40 Aa2-41 Aa2-42 Aa2-43
Ga1-7 Ga1-8 Ga1-9 Ga1-10 Ga1-11
Aa2-44 Aa2-45 Aa2-46 Aa2-47 Aa2-48 (16)
Ga1-12 Ga1-13 Ga1-14 Ga1-15 Ga1-16

The sun light (tapa mea) is in front - it is still a dark time. If the structure in G is useful as a kind of parallel to the first 16 glyphs of the 'front side' beginning with kara etahi in Aa2-33, then it can be stated that both Aa2-48 and Ga1-16 are standing at the end of a dark season which seems to be 192 nights long. Evidence from investigations at haati says so.

And there is a 'full stop' to the right in Ga1-16; glyph number 17 should stand at the beginning of next 'season'.

 

 

According to a page at haati:

 

Twice 244 (= 4 * 61) is 488, which means we have to continue on to side a:

240
Gb1-14 (244) Gb1-15 Gb1-16 Gb1-17 Ga1-16 (488)

The unusual glyph with a figure inside the oval has some resemblance with that at Hua Reva:

Gb3-2 Gb3-3 Gb3-4 (295) Gb3-5 Gb3-6

The distance between them (488 - 296) is equal to 192 glyphs, the same number as the number of glyphs in K.

 

And now it can be added: The glyph which has a parallel position in A, number 16 counted from Aa2-33, is Aa2-48 - where 24 * 8 = 192:

Aa2-48 (16) Ga1-16 (488)

And 2 * 48 = 96 is half 192. Adding another 96 glyphs to Aa2-48 will move us to number 90 + 48 + 96 = 234 (counted from Aa1-1), viz. to Aa3-59, a glyph which is locted 5 glyphs earlier than the 'cosmic tree producing an egg':

Aa3-56 (231) Aa3-57 Aa3-58 Aa3-59 Aa3-60 Aa3-61 Aa3-62
Aa3-63 Aa3-64 Aa3-65 Aa3-66 Aa3-67 Aa3-68 Aa3-69

Aa3-64 could refer to day number 182 (= half 364), in which case Aa3-59 will represent a.m. of day 360 / 2 = 180 and Rogo in Aa3-67 a.m. of day 184.

Counting 2 glyphs per day would also make Aa2-48 refer to day (90 + 48) / 2 = 69. According to the structure of G, where 1 glyph stands for 1 day, it would correspond to Ga1-5:

Gb8-30 (65) Ga1-1 Ga1-2 Ga1-4 Ga1-5 (69) Ga1-6
Aa2-39 Aa2-40 Aa2-41 Aa2-42 Aa2-43 Aa2-44
65 66 67
Aa2-45 Aa2-46 Aa2-47 Aa2-48 (138) Aa2-49 Aa2-50
68 69 = 138 / 2 70

Vaero in Aa2-45 clearly refers to a cardinal point. Aa2-45 together with Aa2-46 define it as day number 68 and both glyphs illustrate a gap in time. Metoro expressed it clearly at Aa2-49: ma te nuku vae, i.e. the nuku season (autumn or winter) is leaving (vae).

Day 68 in G is a vaha mea glyph, the red opening at the beginning of spring. In Aa2-45 this idea is illustrated by the opening in front at the bottom of vaero.

 

 

The following two pages can be regarded as an excursion - it is done because we have stumbled over an important part of the Tahua text. It enables us to correlate Tahua with the text in G, thereby throwing light on both texts and their structures.

Other connections between Ga1-16 and crucial glyphs have been found earlier, for instance:

242 242
Gb8-30 Gb1-14 Gb1-15 Ga1-16
244 244

24 * 4 = 96 and twice 96 = 192. Furthermore, the distance from Gb1-18 to Ga1-16 is 240:

180 58
Gb1-18 Gb7-18 Ga1-16 Ga1-17 Ga1-18 Ga1-19
1 240 242 243 244

The hakaturou glyph in Gb1-18 stands in high summer, and in Aa1-64 it is turned upside down:

Gb1-18 Aa1-64

Gb1-18 is number 248 (counted from Gb8-30), a number we also have in Aa2-48.

Gb1-14 (244) has '2 moon crescents', while in Aa1-60 there is 1 'sun fist':

239
Gb1-14 (244) Gb1-15 Gb1-16 Gb1-17 Gb1-18 Ga1-16 (488)
4 240
Aa1-60 Aa1-61 Aa1-62 Aa1-63 Aa1-64
4

The 240th glyph beyond Aa1-64 is Aa4-53, and we can try with the equation 2 glyphs per day:

Aa4-44 (295) Aa4-45 Aa4-46 Aa4-47 Aa4-48 Aa4-49
296 / 2 = 148 149 150
Aa4-50 Aa4-51 Aa4-52 Aa4-53 Aa4-54 Aa4-55
151 304 / 2 = 152 153
Aa4-56 Aa4-57 Aa4-58 Aa4-59 Aa4-60 Aa4-62 (312)
154 155 156

Day number 150 ends with Aa4-49 (where 4 * 49 = 196). Glyph number 295 would with 1 glyph per day be equal to 10 * 29.5 days. With 2 glyphs per day it becomes p.m. of day 148.

4 days later maitaki in Aa4-53 marks a time for measurement (the straight vertical line). In the following hau tea there are 2 cracks at left. Then follows a glyph illustrating the 'birth' (hanau) of next season (where the right 'mata' is leaning downwards).

Beyond half 300 days Sun is moving downwards. The 2nd pare glyph (Aa4-60, where 4 * 60 = 240) could possibly illustrate the sky of the new season - Metoro: e pare tuu ki te ragi.

If we use the hint 4 * 60 = 240 as a way to read day 156, then day 236 will be at day 152. It means we would have to add 84 days (or 168 glyphs) to the numbers in the table above. If we add 168 to 304 (at Aa4-53) we will reach 472 = 16 * 29.5.

 

 

Moving in the other direction, in order to locate the glyph from which the ordinal number becomes 192 at Aa2-48, it must be the glyph which comes 192 - 48 - 90 (line Aa1) = 54 glyphs before the end of side b. It is the glyph beyond Ab8-30 (where 8 * 30 = 240, as in Gb8-30):

Ab8-26 Ab8-27 Ab8-28 Ab8-29 Ab8-30 (1280)
 
Ab8-31 (1) Ab8-32 Ab8-33 Ab8-34
Ab8-35 Ab8-36 Ab8-37 Ab8-38 Ab8-39
Ab8-40 Ab8-41 Ab8-42 Ab8-43 Ab8-44
Ab8-45 Ab8-46 (16)

8 * 46 = 368 and 84 * 6 = 504 (4 more than 500). The strange Ab8-30 should be compared with Aa2-31:

1158
Aa2-31 (121) Ab8-30 (1280)
1160 = 40 * 29

The warm and tight embrace between Earth and Sky in Aa2-31 is ending after 40 'dark nights'. The 'fish' is going down and the feeding hands are empty. Evidently (according to G where glyph number 240 is the 10th on side b) the time beyond the abrupt end of Spring Sun, falling into the sea like Ikaros, is similar to the beginning of cosmic time when there was no light. 1280 / 2 = 10 * 64.
