The summary page for hahe::

 

From an investigation of three hahe glyphs in Tahua it can be concluded that a hahe glyph of standard form probably was used immediately before the beginning of a new 'year', for instance:

398
Aa3-8 Aa3-9 Aa3-10 Aa7-84 Aa7-85 Aa8-1
400

Another such beginning possibly took place a quarter after high summer had ended:

88
Ab2-40 Ab5-65 Ab5-66 Ab5-67 Ab5-68
240 329 330 (= 5 * 66) 331 332

For indicating the 'year' about to be initiated in what apparently is day 236 (= 8 * 29.5) another type of hahe was used:

Ab2-29 Ab2-30 Ab2-31 Ab2-32 Ab2-33 Ab2-34
Ab2-35 Ab2-36 Ab2-37 Ab2-38 Ab2-39 Ab2-40

 

In Mamari the following glyphs have been regarded as possibly including hahe signs:

Ca4-22 Cb2-24 Cb2-25 Cb6-24 Cb14-2

The last of them has ordinal number 331 counted from Cb1-1 and the double inoino together with the Janus type of hau tea is striking:

Cb13-24 Cb13-25 Cb13-26 Cb13-27 Cb13-28
Cb13-29 Cb13-30 Cb14-1 (330) Cb14-2
Cb14-3 Cb14-4 Cb14-5 Cb14-6 Cb14-7
Cb14-8 Cb14-9 Cb14-10 Cb14-11 Cb14-12
Cb14-13 Cb14-14 Cb14-15 Cb14-16
Cb14-17 Cb14-18 Cb14-19 (348)
