Arranged
according to the rule of planets Moon will define an end at Aa3-20. Then a new
sequence is commencing with Mercury in position 196, or in position 196 +
54 = 250 if we count from manu rere in Ab8-31, or in position
196 + 64 = 260 if we count from Ab8-11:
Aa3-13 (188)
Aa3-14
Aa3-15
Aa3-16
Aa3-17 (192)
Aa3-18
Aa3-19

Aa3-28
Aa3-29
Aa3-30
Aa3-31
Aa3-32
Aa3-33 (208)
Aa3-34
Aa3-35
Mars appears
only in Aa3-14 (π) and
Aa3-27 (where 3 * 27 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3). 8 * 26 = 208 is the position of Rei in
Aa3-33.
Saturn at
Aa3-18 (where 3 * 18 = 54 will remind us of the 54 last glyphs on side b)
is described by manu rere holding a vaero sign in front. This
vaero is on closer inspection found to have a puo sign:
Aa3-18
vaero
puo
Light is hidden.
The preceding moa glyph (192) perhaps
is saying that Moon is on her way to take over (in form of her 'Venus garment'):
Aa3-17 (192)
Aa3-18
Aa3-19
Aa3-20
The body is formed like a reversed S and the 'tail'
like a moon
crescent, possibly representing the old month. Venus then returns in
Aa3-23 at position 2 * 99:
Aa3-21 (196)
Aa3-22
Aa3-23 (198)
Aa3-24
Aa3-25
Aa3-26
Aa3-27 (202)
Aa3-28
Aa3-29
Aa3-30
Aa3-31
Aa3-32
Counting from
manu rere in Ab8-31 hetuu is in day number (54 + 198) / 2 = 126. In day number
128 (= 2 * 64) the rising kahi (Aa3-27) is fat. A 'square' of 'growth'
(4 * 32 = 128 days) results in a fat fish. 101 - 8 = 93 days and with 27 (=
9 * 3) added it becomes 120:
Aa3-8
Aa3-9
Aa3-10
Aa3-11 (186)
119
(54 + 186) / 2 = 120
Aa3-12
Aa3-13
Aa3-14
Aa3-15
121
122
It is not
yet midsummer. If we compare with G we can count 120 - 64 = 56 glyphs
(days) from Gb8-30 and find Ga2-25. Manu kake comes 5 positions
later as the first glyph in line a3 and is the 120th day beyond Tama
(Gb7-2, where 7 * 2 = 14 alludes to 413 / 29.5):
Ga2-21
Ga2-22

Ga2-25 (56)
Ga2-26
Ga2-27
Ga2-28
Ga2-29

Ga3-2
Ga3-3
Ga3-4
Ga3-5
The
reversed S (like a flame) in moa (Ga3-3) corresponds to the
reversed S of the moa in Aa3-17 (and both are days of Venus). The
curious rising 'fish' in Ga3-4 corresponds to Aa3-18:
Ga3-3 (63)
Ga3-4
Aa3-17 (192)
Aa3-18
192 / 2 =
96 and 63 + 33 = 96. Three (toru) is a sign connected with the
appearance of 'the bird with 2 faces' (te manu aringa erua).
Manu kake in Aa3-10 appears to be standing on the threshold to the 2nd phase of
the year, the season which in G is represented by a calendar with
kiore+henua glyphs.
The vaero glyphs in
glyph line Aa3 could represent 'land which is being uplifted from the
sea like fishes'. Spring equinox lies in Pisces. The celestial 'land'
ought to be the halfyear from spring equinox to autumn equinox. I guess
the Rat (kiore)
is treading on Land (henua) in summer, first of all during a
period of 36 days:

Ga4-18

Ga4-20
Ga4-21
Ga4-22
Ga4-23
Ga4-24
Another kind of
vaero is seen in Ga4-18 (where 4 * 18 = 2 * 36). On
land there are poultry rather than fishes and I guess it is
a tail feather (vaero). Instead of land being 'fished
up' the tail of the bird has been devoured by a fish
(Ga4-21).

When it is
spring equinox north of the equator (and Pisces can be observed) it
is autumn equinox south of the equator. The idea of fishes
and a square (the Pegasus square) can though be associated with
spring equinox also south of the equator. It hardly matters if the
time of observation must be changed in order to see Pisces and the
square.
Indeed, the
model of the path of the sun (with constellations, planets,
equinoxes etc) was probably so well defined already from a very long
time ago that it would have been impossible to change it without
destroying it.
Astrology will not
change the position of Pisces when the sky dome has moved spring
equinox (north of the equator) to Aquarius. At hua the
situation has been described:
... At the
beginning of time there is water everywhere, and Noah in
his square-formed ark must wait until land will
reemerge. The picture language is universal.
Saturn
with his sickle is by this instrument defined to be
connected with the patch of land. He is the reaper of
the crop grown last year.
Therefore he must appear in time just before the
appearance of the new year, when the new 'land' emerges.
Once
Pisces (and therefore also the Pegasus Square) was
located around winter solstice. Due to the precession of
the equinoxes it has now moved to spring (north of the
equator). The fishes have been moved up onto 'land'.
But
astrology is a conservative business. Therefore the
square and Saturn are still remembered as located at the
darkest of times, when new land not yet has risen above
the 'waters' which 'inundated the old fire'.
Land
is in contrast to the sea. Land is therefore close in
meaning to light (and fire which is the source of
light). And land is henua:
The
vertical staff serves to show how the sky roof is
propped up to let in the light, a light which will shine
on the fields to make them fruitful.
The
horizontal direction is the opposite - defined by the
surface of the cold sea ...
Possibly, therefore, the rhomb seen for instance in vaero
glyphs may depict the Pegasus square:
vaero
The tail part will then be understood as referring to fishes.
The orientation of the square depends on perspective, and the
corners of this picture of 'earth' should be the equinoxes and
the solstices.
If land is being
'fished up' after 4 months (120 days), then what was it that
happened in line a2? Once again, let us look at the larger map:

We have found
'the primal embrace' to be in day 88, and then an important kara etahi in
position 123 (or in position 54 + 123 = 177 = 3 * 59) will initiate a long new season
(ending 988 = 19 * 52 glyphs later with its manu rere in Ab6-37).

Vaero at right in a.m. of day (54 + 136) / 2 = 95 seems to be a
tail feather (vaero), similar to the one in Ga4-18. A break
in time is announced and maybe it is 'the tail feather' of the old
one which has been cut off from the 'arm' (cfr the embracing arms in
Aa2-31 a week earlier).
We have,
furthermore, tentatively connected the earlier 2 vaero glyphs with
kuhane stations:
2
Aa2-14
Aa2-16 (15)
19 Maunga Teatea
21 Taharoa
Aa2-18
Aa2-20 (19)
23 Rangi Meamea
25 Maunga Hau Epa
Although
these 2 vaero signs obviously form a pair,
they also belong in a triplet together with vaero in Aa2-45:
26
Aa2-14
Aa2-15
Aa2-16
Aa2-17
Aa2-18
Aa2-45
16 days
But at Aa2-45 these
kuhane stations are in the past and a primal darkness rules:
Aa2-28
Aa2-29
Aa2-30
Aa2-31
Aa2-32
i areheu ia

Evidently the separation of sky and earth
occurs in line a2, and it can be said to commence with kara
etahi in day 89. Yet, this day number is counted from manu rere
in Ab8-31. A better number is achieved if we add 10 more days (and count
from Ab8-11).
Comparing
with the text of G it becomes evident that kara etahi in Aa2-33
is in the same position as Ga1-1, but Aa1-59 is not at the same day position
as
Rogo (in Gb6-26):

Possibly the separation of heaven and earth took a week, with Sky
represented by the vaero sign and Earth by the special
henua sign in Aa2-46:

Aa2-34
Aa2-45

Tagata in Ab2-46 is similar to tagata in Aa2-17 (located
at 22 Hanga Hoonu):
26
Aa2-17
Aa2-18
Aa2-45
Aa2-46
But the straight hair in Aa2-46 is an added mea ke sign
and the figure therefore seems to mean 'a dark Sky in the past'.
The flowing hair is seen also in honu in Aa2-44:
Aa2-44 (12)
Aa2-45
Aa2-46
Aa2-47
Aa2-48 (16)
Ga1-12
Ga1-13
Ga1-14
Ga1-15
Ga1-16
The position of this honu can be counted as 90 + 44 + 54
= 188, or (presumably more correct) from Ab8-11 as 188 + 20 =
208 (= 13 * 16).
