Fornander:

"The poisoned arrow hit its mark, and Kahahana returned to Oahu filled with mistrust and suspicion of his faithful high-priest. A coolness arose between them. Kahahana withdrew his confidence from, and slighted the advice of, the high-priest, who retired from the court to his own estate in Waialua and Waimea, and caused himself and all his people and retainers to be tatooed on the knee, as a sign that the chief had turned a deaf ear to his advice."

The light from the chief had disappeared and the high-priest made his knee black as a sign of this.

In rongorongo the knee is black already, but can be turned white by applying a little 'sun':

In the Swedish language we say 'vågorna går höga' (the waves are 'walking' high) in stormy weather. The ua glyph type probably depicts u'a (waves).

The number of glyphs in K has been reconstructed by me to as *192, a number which is half 384 - presumably the number of days for the full time-space cycle.

13 * 29.5 = 383.5 is close to 384 and 192 is close to 6.5 * 29.5 = 191.75. If the basic year is 12 * 29.5 = 354, then leaping over the difficult dark phase and landing on 384 is a solution to the problem of measuring the solar year. 384 - 354 = 30 days, or even better 383.5 - 354 = 29.5.

In G the glyphs do suggest a cardinal point at Gb5-29 - obviously depicting only 'half a person':

Counting has been done from Gb8-30.

In Tahua we ought to find this point at 2 * 384 = 768. We now will reduce with only 41 (instead of earlier 42) to see how many glyphs of these 768 belong on side a: 768 - 41 = 727. Or rather at the beginning of side b: 727 - 670 = 57:

Ab1-44 Ab1-45 Ab1-46 Ab1-47 Ab1-48 Ab1-49 Ab1-50 Ab1-51 Ab1-55 Ab1-56 Ab1-57 (768) Ab1-58 Ab1-59 Ab1-60 Ab1-61 Ab1-62 Ab1-63 Ab1-70 Ab1-71 Ab1-72 Ab1-73 Ab1-74 Ab1-75 Ab1-76 Ab1-77 Ab1-78

As always Tahua is difficult, but if we know there should be a reversal from old year dying to new year being born at Ab1-57 we can see it. The normally thicker left 'limb' of the tara 'gap' is here at right, and the 'foot' looks like an upside down fish tail.

767 / 29.5 = 26, i.e. the redmarked glyphs above represent the 13th kuhane station, one would think. Hatinga Te Kohe is at day 354 = 12 * 29.5, which means glyph number 708 in Tahua:

 

Aa8-67	Aa8-68	Aa8-69	Aa8-70	Aa8-71	Aa8-72
Aa8-73	Aa8-74	Aa8-75	Aa8-76	Aa8-77	Aa8-78	Aa8-79
Aa8-80	Aa8-81	Aa8-82 (708)	Aa8-83	Aa8-84	Aa8-85

By reducing with only 41 instead of 42 number 708 will advance to Aa8-82, and we can see that day 354 is on the other side of the 'crack in time'. The new light at the wave 'knee' in Aa8-81 should be the moon.

 

1. Nga Kope Ririva	2. Te Pu Mahore
3. Te Poko Uri	4. Te Manavai
5. Te Kioe Uri	6. Te Piringa Aniva
7. Te Pei	8. Te Pou
9. Hua Reva	10. Akahanga
11. Hatinga Te Kohe	12. Roto Iri Are
13. Tama	14. One Tea
15. Hanga Takaure	16. Poike
17. Pua Katiki	18. Maunga Teatea
19. Mahatua	20. Taharoa
21. Hanga Hoonu	22. Rangi Meamea
23. Peke Tau O Hiti	24. Mauga Hau Epa
25. Oromanga	26. Hanga Moria One
27. Papa O Pea	28. Ahu Akapu
(29. Te Pito O Te Kainga)

Hatinga Te Kohe is the 11th kuhane station, however, and maybe a more natural way to count the stations would be to start with Te Pito O Te Kainga as number 1. We have found pito (Ab8-43) to be at the end (as number 1334), and for the moon it should be the beginning.

The 13th kuhane station should therefore be Roto Iri Are, and we should here look again at the last page at poporo:

The kuhane stations in the text of G end with 15. Hanga Takaure, but there are 16 stations in the text anyhow, because 7 * 29.5 = 206.5 implies we have to add a station number zero, which presumably is Maunga Hau Epa:   0. Maunga Hau Epa 8. Te Pou Ga8-3 (206) Ga8-4 (207) Gb2-10 (265) Gb2-11 (266) 2. Te Pu Mahore 10. Akahanga Ga6-7 (147) Ga6-8 (148) Gb4-4 (324) Gb4-5 (325) 4. Te Manavai 12. Roto Iri Are Ga4-5 (88) Ga4-6 (89) Gb6-1 (383) Gb6-2 (384) 6. Te Piringa Aniva 14. One Tea Ga1-29 (29) Ga1-30 (30) Gb8-1 (442) Gb8-2 (443) There are 8 odd-numbered stations in the text: 1, 3, 5, ... 15 (those glyphs with ordinal numbers i * 59 counted from Ga1-1), and there must be 8 even-numbered too. Mauga Hau Epa is kuhane station number 24, and we know that when 24 hours have passed a new day will begin. Time is cyclical and the station before the first one must be the last one of the cycle. The cycle measures 24, and not 28, because the last 4 are of another nature. The last station of the cycle is characterized by 'black' (as in the 'black cloth'). A variant of hua poporo is at right in Ga8-3 (where 8 * 3 = 24). In Ga8-4 the top sign indicates a turn and Rei is initiating the new season. Rearragning the even-numbered stations in order to make room for number zero results in a more symmetric table, with the first half beginning in the dark and the second half beginning with the brightest star in the sky. Rei in Ga1-30 presumably initiates the second half, and tagata at left marks both the end of the first half and shows a discontinuity (the outline is not closed). In the flow of glyphs there is a jump (206.5 glyphs long) from Te Piringa Aniva to Te Pei:   6. Te Piringa Aniva 7. Te Pei Ga1-29 (29) Ga1-30 (30) Gb1-7 (236) The jump is caused by the first 7 stations having been arranged in a line from the end of side a up to its beginning, contrary to the flow of the glyphs. 236 = half 472, and beyond Te Pei the flow of the glyphs and the flow of kuhane stations move in the same direction.

An essential glyph at Roto Iri Are is Gb5-29 where the time cycle ends. 13 * 29.5 = 383.5.

And the numbers of the kuhane stations should be raised by 1 (a process which has begun already by incorporating a station number zero at first place).

Instead of the suggested Maunga Hau Epa as the first kuhane station, though, the beginning must be Te Pito O Te Kainga.
