Gb8-30 (61)		Ga4-23	Ga4-24 (168)

168 can be read as 16 and 8, numbers which probably are referring to the cycle of Moon. In view of our long and tedious investigation so far it has become rather clear that this mama pair could define the end of a Waxing Moon season, and it apparently should be counted from the end of the previous Moon cycle.

Furthermore, 10 glyph lines beyond the mama pair we can suspect a relationship with the 4 curious haú ke:

Let us once again state where the 4 extra glyphs in the total number 472 presumably have been inserted, those which turn (3 + 5) * 13 = 8 * 13 = 104 glyphs into 108:

	37
Gb5-11 (365)		Gb6-20 (403)	Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24
3 * 13 = 39			4 extracalendrical glyphs

	76
Gb6-25 (408)		Gb8-30 (472)
5 * 13 = 65

In the extraordinary Gb6-20 the 3 hanging 'balls' at left and right could refer to 300 days at left and 300 days at right:

26	Kane	It is a day of very low tide but joyous for men who fish with lines and for girls who dive for sea-urchins.
27	Lono	The tide is low, the sea calm, the sand is gathered up and returned to its place; in these days the sea begins to wash back the sand that the rough sea has scooped up. This is one account of the night of Lono.
28	Mauli	...a day of low tide. 'A sea that gathers up and returns the sand to its place' is the meaning of this single word.
29	Muku	...a day of low tide, when the sea gathers up and returns the sand to its place, a day of diving for sea-urchins, small and large, for gathering sea-weed, for line-fishing by children, squid-catching, uluulu fishing, pulu fishing and so forth. Such is the activity of this day.

One way to explain it - i.e. how there can be 'ebb' = light (cfr at hupee) at the end of waning moon - is to point at how Sun is being 'reborn' earlier than Moon at winter solstice:

Gb6-26 (409)	Gb6-27	Gb6-28	Gb7-1	Gb7-2 (413)
1	2	3	4	5
Kane	Lono	Mauli	Muku	Hilo

If we count the beginning of the Moon cycle from the end of the previous cycle, viz. from hau tea with one 'eye' looking back and one 'eye' looking forward in Janus fashion, it will be number night number 5 (rima) counted from Rogo (or Tane, Kane).

Hilo

On the evening of Hilo there is a low tide until morning. On this night the women fished by hand (in the pools left by the receding sea) and the men went torch fishing. It was a calm night, no tide until morning. It was a warm night without puffs of wind; on the river-banks people caught gobey fish by hand and shrimps in hand-nets in the warm water. Thus passed the famous night of Hilo. During the day, the sea rose washing up on the sand, and returned to its old bed, and the water was rough.

The central glyph is Gb6-28 - where we can count to 6 * 28 = 168 as a measure for how many nights Moon is shining from the rays of Sun during 6 months - and it corresponds to Mauli.

Then light seems to disappear (Muku). Although it is said to be ebb it is also said that the sea goes up on the beach in order to return the sand, i.e. to build up the 'land' again.

Gb1-24	Gb1-25		Ga1-24	Ga1-25	Ga1-26 (91)

I have here blackmarked in order to bring number 242 into focus, it is the number of glyphs on side b of G and as such suitable for the duration of 'absent Sun'. At rau hei the following table was assembled:

winter solstice	moon		242
		Ga6-22		Gb6-23
	sun		242
		Ga6-25		Gb6-26 (409)
spring equinox	moon		242
		Gb1-22		Ga1-22
	sun		242
		Gb1-25		Ga1-25 (26)

If we trust in numbers we can rearrange the glyphs for 'moon' into the following structure:

	239
Ga6-22		Gb6-20	Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24	Gb6-25
	239
Gb1-22		Ga1-19	Ga1-20	Ga1-21	Ga1-22	Ga1-23	Ga1-24	Ga1-25

Gb6-26 (1)	Gb6-27	Gb6-28	Gb7-1	Gb7-2 (413)
Ga1-26 (91)	Ga1-27	Ga1-28	Ga1-29	Ga1-30

Rei in Ga1-30 is number 59 + 31 = 90 counted from tamaiti. Counted from the 'Janus' hau tea (Gb7-2) it is number 91. At spring equinox Moon once again evidently arrives 4 days beyond Sun (in Ga1-26).

The number of nights in the interval beyond rau hei (Ga6-22 and Gb1-22) is 239 + 1 + 5 + 4 = 249 respectively 239 + 2 + 5 + 4 = 250. What does it mean? I do not know. Possibly, though, there should be 2 glyphs (Ga1-19--20) instead of 1 (Gb6-20) because the counting begins on the back side of the tablet.

Ga1-19 has been discussed at tara, and although G has no clear tara glyph this marama glyph seems to have a tara sign at bottom right:

My explanation in the summary, that tara indicates a 'point of return', seems to be justified. There is also a 'tara' in front in rau hei in Ga6-25, which probably refers to Spring Sun with his single 'limb in front'.

Judging from its form also rau hei in Ga6-22 should refer to Sun rather than Moon, I think. It has 'limbs' pointing Janus fashion in both directions, and 22 can be thought of as 7 * π.

Furthermore, haú ke in Gb6-23 has 15 feathers at its back, and this should refer to Sun rather than to Moon. I have consequently changed my mind since writing about rau hei:

A sense of order will demand that Moon (without any limbs) should be depicted in the remaining pair of rau hei, and therefore also in the corresponding pair of tao glyphs. This idea agrees with moving from rau hei on side a to rau hei on side b.

Without using much effort several new numerical relationships can immediately be perceived:

As for 7 * 36 = 252 for rau hei in Gb1-22 the number evidently is related to that of tara in Eb7-36.
