Now there are many ideas whirling around. First a little note considering 'the zero season of sun' in K:

1
Ka3-15 Ka3-16 Ka3-17 Ka3-18 Ka3-19 Ka3-20 (66) Ka3-21
2
Ka4-1 Ka4-2 Ka4-3

The 3-fingered tail feathers of moa in Ka3-19 may be the same type of sign as the hand hiding the light in e.g. Kb5-15:

121
Ka3-19 (65) Kb5-15 (187)

Altough the 'thumb' has been shifted to the left.

5 * 13 = 65 could mean the 'fire' is 'liquidated'.

Next, I have decided to take up the 'Twin Quarters' (according to G and K) in an excursion at the end of the maitaki chapter. It leads potentially to several interesting questions and conclusions.

'Dark' (uri) means 'greenery', but to have such growth the rains from heaven are necessary. The sky must become dark (clouded) first.

"The Timorese sacrifice a black pig to the Earth-goddess for rain, a white or red one to the Sun-god for sunshine." (The Golden Bough)

The islands in the Pacific have their eastern half as 'black' and their western half as 'white' (like old dry bones).

The double necessities (sunshine and rain) are not contradictory forces, they are allied in creating growth.

A piece of bamboo has both qualitites, it can burn and it can hold fluid.

Maybe we should shift Te Kioe Uri and Te Poko Uri two steps (2 * 29.5 = 59 days) ahead in G? Wouldn't it be good to get rid of Nga Kope Ririva?

Te Kioe Uri
Ga5-8 (118)
Te Poko Uri
Ga7-8 (177)

Or should we change their order into:

Nga Kope Ririva
Ga2-29 (59)
Te Poko Uri
Ga5-8 (118)
Te Kioe Uri
Ga7-8 (177)

If we manage to understand the design of maitaki in Ga7-8, this problem presumably would be solved.

Uri should anyhow come after the 'fire' ('flames lifting up the sky roof'). Tangaroa Uri is said  to be October ('April') and the greenery comes at the beginning of summer. Before that Mars will raise the sky roof.

The 3 rocks standing upright in the water are, maybe, responsible for pushing the sky roof up. They should then be standing upright before the rain arrives, before Ga5-8 according to the measures 4 * 66 and 4 * 52:

148 115 207
Ga5-5 (116) Gb4-3 (324)
264 = 4 * 66 208 = 4 * 52

The black hand at Ga5-1 says the clouds are assembling, I guess:

13
Ga4-16 (100) Ga4-17 Ga4-18 Ga4-19
14
Ga4-20 (104) Ga4-21 Ga4-22
15
Ga4-23 (107) Ga4-24 Ga4-25 Ga4-26 Ga4-27
16
Ga5-1 (112) Ga5-2 Ga5-3
17
Ga5-4 Ga5-5 Ga5-6 Ga5-7 Ga5-8 Ga5-9 (120)

The strangely downward leaning sky roof in Ga4-27 could refer to the cloud roof.

Tagata at Ga4-1 says the first season is over, and in Ga4-2 the 3 feathers are in the past:

 

7
Ga4-1 (85) Ga4-2 Ga4-3 Ga4-4
8
Ga4-5 Ga4-6
9
Ga4-7 Ga4-8
10
Ga4-9 Ga4-10

There are no berries on hua poporo (Ga4-7). But soon the dry 'insect' time is over. The mouth of kiore changes shape:

11
Ga4-11 (95) Ga4-12 Ga4-13
12
Ga4-14 Ga4-15

A map over kiore mouths shows that it serves as a sign:

7-10
11-12
13-14
15-16
17

The straight back in 17 presumbly says the sky roof has been raised enough. The ordinal number is 12 * 10 = 120.
