In Q there are 7 toki glyphs and one of them is similar
to Ga2-1:
*Qa4-17
Qa6-20
Qa6-29
*Qa7-20
*Qa7-40
Qa9-20
*Qb6-25
But the location of this tagata toki is not in line a2:
Qa6-29 (234)
Qa6-30
Qa6-31
Qa6-32
Qa6-33
Qa6-34
Qa6-35 (240)
Qa6-36
At
ariga erua it has been determined that the Q
text has
2 glyphs per day. A break in time is seen between
*Qb5-35 and *Qb5-36, beyond day 608 / 2 + 64 = 368:
*Qb5-23
*Qb5-24
*Qb5-25
*Qb5-26
*Qb5-27
*Qb5-28
*Qb5-29
*Qb5-30
*Qb5-31
*Qb5-32
*Qb5-33
*Qb5-34 (608)
...
*Qb5-35
*Qb5-36
*Qb5-37
*Qb5-38
*Qb5-39
*Qb5-40
We can conclude
that the day number
at tagata toki ought to be 234 / 2 + 64 = 181.
However, a further study seems
to be necessary.
Half 368 = 184 and the singular tagata maitaki (in
Qa6-35) apparently
is the last glyph of the spring half of the calendar (and his single
mata is open as if by a straw):
Qa6-28
Qa6-29 (234)
Qa6-30
Qa6-31
Qa6-32
Qa6-33
64 + 234 / 2 = 181
182
183
Qa6-34
Qa6-35 (240)
184
Qa6-36
Qa6-37
Qa6-38
Qa6-39
Qa6-40
Qa6-41
185
186
187
Henua ora in Qa6-40 (where 6 * 40 = 240)
seems to be another sign of the spring final.
At poporo it has been suggested that the
middle vertical line in henua ora is
the same type of sign as the 'stem' of
poporo glyphs. Maybe it is a picture of
a straw. Once upon a time children's games
were old memories in
action.
Hakaturou in Qa6-36 could allude to 6
* 36 = 216 (= 32 + 184):
66
Qa5-19
Qa5-20
Qa5-21
Qa5-22
Qa6-34
Qa6-35
Qa6-36
Qa6-37
149
150
= 300 / 2
33
184
185
36
Another alternative is to count from a position
5 days (10 glyphs) later than from *Qb5-36
(where 5 * 36 = 180 = 216 - 36). At *Qb6-4 (maybe
alluding to 64) a moe with cut-off
feet is rising:
...
*Qb5-35
*Qb5-36
*Qb5-37
*Qb5-38
*Qb5-39
*Qb5-40
...
...
*Qb5-41
*Qb5-42
*Qb6-1
*Qb6-2
*Qb6-3
*Qb6-4
Qa6-36--37 will then be in day 180:
66
Qa5-19
Qa5-20
Qa5-21
Qa5-22
Qa6-34
Qa6-35
Qa6-36
Qa6-37
144 = 12 * 12
145
33
179
180 = 242 / 2 + 59
36
At henua ora in Qa6-40 we can imagine
10 times 64 (= 20 * 32), and its day number becomes 182
instead of 187. Counting from *Qb6-4 seems to be a plausible
alternative.
At Qa6-30 (where 6 * 30 = 180) the day
number will then be 177 and the preceding
tagatatoki appears to 'generate'
a sort of tamaiti (Qa6-31):
Qa6-28
Qa6-29 (234)
Qa6-30
Qa6-31
Qa6-32
Qa6-33
59 + 234 / 2 = 176
177
= 6 * 29.5
178
Qa6-34
Qa6-35 (240)
179
Qa6-36
Qa6-37
Qa6-38
Qa6-39
Qa6-40
Qa6-41
180
181
182
The last glyph in line a5 is also a
hakaturou, though cut off at its bottom
end:

Qa5-19
Qa5-20
Qa5-21
Qa5-22
Qa5-55
Qa6-1 (206)
144
145
16
206 / 2 + 59 = 162
18 = 2 + 16
26
6
Qa6-28
Qa6-29 (234)
Qa6-36
Qa6-37
(242)

4
18 = 14 + 4
Qa5-22 is different from the preceding 3
hakaturou glyphs. Possibly we should
count 5 * 19 + 5 * 20 + 5 * 21 = 300 as an
allusion to the duration of the cloudless
spring sky.
The day numbers maybe are meant to be
counted 'by the sun' up to 'noon' and 'by the
moon' from that point onwards:
Qa5-41
Qa5-42 (192)
Qa5-43
Qa5-44
Qa5-45
Qa5-46
160 = 192 / 2 + 64
161
162
Qa5-47
Qa5-48
Qa5-49
Qa5-50 (200)
Qa5-51
Qa5-52
163
164
165 = 202 / 2 + 59 + 5
Qa5-53
Qa5-54
Qa5-55
Qa6-1
Qa6-2
Qa6-3
(208)
166
167
168
Tagata in Qa5-52 (where 5 *
52 = 260) will be at day number 160
if counted by the moon, wheras day
number 160 counted by the sun is
located at glyph number 192 (counted
from *Qa1-1).
Number 160 seems to be important.
Perhaps it sometimes is to be
understood as 8 * 20 (cfr at Qa6-3).
If we count with 40 days for each
doublemonth when Sun is dominant and
59 days for each doublemonth when
Moon has taken over we will reach 4
* 40 + 4 * 59 = 160 + 236 + 396.
Which can be played with: 3 * 96 =
288 = 12 * 24.
Day 164 is important because by
adding 200 (= 10 * 20) we will reach
day 364 (= 14 * 26 = 13 * 28):
Qa6-4
Qa6-5

= 210 / 2 + 59

*Qb5-36 (610)
*Qb5-37
*Qb5-38

610 / 2 + 59 = 364
365
Anyhow, day number 176 at
tagata toki seems to be
verified and the following day
will then be number 17 counted from
'noon':
Qa6-24
Qa6-25
Qa6-26 (231)
Qa6-27
Qa6-28
Qa6-29 (234)

175 (= 180 - 5)

At Qa6-26 a reversed vae kore
is looking back, and we know
that ordinal number 6-26 in G
refers to Rogo:
