The torrents from the sky meets the torrid earth, and then the vegetation explodes. 118 = 4 * 29.5 is the time when water (vai) sets it all running:

'Fire' is realighted at 4 * 29 = 116, when sky is set in contact with the earth. The tamaiti sign follows very soon:

tamaiti	Ga5-8

Te Manavai (the hollows for collecting rain) and Te Poko Uri (the thunder which announces greenery), are twin months. 118 + 59 = 177. The sky is once again clearing up, but the important time is over:

Ga7-5	Ga7-6	Ga7-7 (177)	Ga7-8	Ga7-9	Ga7-10 (180)

The mouth of kiore is closing. Ga7-9 is a straight hakaturou, possibly the same kind of sign which indicates the summer 'square' in Aa1-5--8:

Aa1-1	Aa1-2	Aa1-3	Aa1-4
Aa1-5	Aa1-6	Aa1-7	Aa1-8
Aa1-9	Aa1-10

Ga6-6 is smack in the middle of the most important growth time:

17
	Ga5-4	Ga5-5	Ga5-6	Ga5-7 (118)	Ga5-8	Ga5-9
22
	Ga6-5	Ga6-6	Ga6-7 (148)	Ga6-8
31
	Ga7-5	Ga7-6	Ga7-7 (177)	Ga7-8	Ga7-9	Ga7-10 (180)

5 * 6 = 30, 6 * 6 = 36, and 7 * 6 = 42.

It is time for the 'child' (tamaiti) to appear in full stature - at Ga5-8 he was just an egg and alluded to by the body form of the mother bird:

 

32
	Ga7-11 (181)	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14
