We must move on. Next pages:

The longer part towards right in the two manu kake glyphs could mean a higher sky roof in front. In Ga4-21 we can see a later development:

Manu kake is 'wilting', the drought has made it so. But the longer part is in the past (left), meaning the sky is becoming lower. Earlier I could not understand it, because midsummer is in front. But now I can interpret it to mean that the rain clouds are coming, they make the distance upwards shorter.

The 14th period has a prominent dot at right in Ga4-22, and the mouth of kiore is going to change shape. Does it mean that the mouth of kiore represents the sky roof? There are 84 glyphs (counted from Gb8-30) up to tagata at Ga4-1, equal to 3 * 28 days

The parallel period in K also has a tagata, here with a kai gesture:

Ka5-1 is needed to reach 3 * 28 days. The leg at right in Ga4-1 is markedly thinner - maybe suggesting that the new season arriving with rain clouds not only is shortening the space upwards but also making the sun rays weaker. But Ka5-1 has still a rising henua.

I think it is fairly clear that 'raising the sky roof' (= letting more sun light in) takes place during 3 months at the beginning of the year, and that after this quarter focus is shifted towards the rain.

If we can rely on our 'twin map', glyph line a4 in G should then be interpreted to tell about the 'war' (shifting winds and hurrying clouds) between the old sky-lifting season and the new rainy spring season:

The shape-shifting mouth of kiore is evidence. Also the hau tea in the early half of line a4 indicate sun light:

In Ga4-9 (where 4 * 9 = 36) there is a complete elbow ornament at left which says the sky-lifting is done. 4 + 6 = 10 glyphs at the beginning of line a4 and period number 10 says the early spring sun season is over. Next period (11) shows a newborn season (tamaiti) as its first glyph (Ga4-11). 95 = 5 * 19 means the 'fire' is in the past.

The 12th period has a long-necked tagata with 3 'feathers' at left and 3 at right. It is the same 'person' as in Ga4-9, i.e. the old skylifting figure.

Here he has his fist at left and at right a now empty hand uplifted. In Ga4-14 (where 4 * 14 = 2 * 28) the balanced elbow ornaments indicate a point of equilibrium in time. Maybe we should add these two months to the first 3 (in lines a1-a3), i.e. find that time has reached 5 months from the beginning of the year. 5 * 28 = 140 could refer to period 14.

With period 13 a new sun season is beginning, the firm fist is at right and the mouth of kiore shows the sky is cleared from clouds. A new start comes with Rei at Ga4-17 (with ordinal number 100 + 1).

Manu kake at Ga4-21 has ordinal number 100 + 5. Both the number and the wilting shape says it is time for rain. 4 * 21 = 84 = 3 * 28 or perhaps this time 6 * 14.

Ga4-20 is very interesting. From the arguments above we can guess the bottom part (presumably the earliest part) is referring to 3 months of kai (when sun is 'eating' and growing, but still 'absent'). The top part would then be the next sun season, evidently only a third as long, and the whole shape will stand for 4 months, the first tertial of the year. 104 = 4 * 26.

Counting with 30 days in a month, we can identify the 8th period as the end of the first quarter. The empty uplifted hand is evidence which supports the numbers (8, 90, 4 * 5 = 20, 4 * 6 = 24).

Ga4-20 must be related to Ga7-18 and probably also to Gb8-17:

Ga7-18 comes 3 months later, counted as 3 * 28 glyphs. And then 9 * 30 days further on comes Gb8-17.

84 + 270 = 354 = 12 * 29.5, i.e. Hatinga Te Kohe, which explains the release at the top of a dark 'offspring'.

In other words, Ga4-20 in period 14 identifies the end of a first tertial of skylifting, and beyond that a 'sun is present' time is counted from zero (at Ga4-16, with 4 * 16 = twice 32). This season will reach its end at Hatinga Te Kohe (Gb8-17, with 8 * 17 = 136).

At Ga7-18 the sun symbols have disappeared. 3 * 29.5 = 88.5 and a quarter added to the first terial means 7 months. We have reached high summer where sun goes down:
