The wooden tongs (uru) used for handling the redhot stones of the umu should not be dry, I think. Aa1-37--38 ought to belong to the daytime:

Aa1-46	Aa1-47	Aa1-48
Aa1-16	Aa1-17	Aa1-18	Aa1-19	Aa1-20	Aa1-21
Aa1-22	Aa1-23	Aa1-24	Aa1-25	Aa1-26	Aa1-27
Aa1-28	Aa1-29	Aa1-30	Aa1-31	Aa1-32	Aa1-33
Aa1-34	Aa1-35	Aa1-36
Aa1-37	Aa1-38

This will result in 26 glyphs for the daytime (and 7 for the nighttime), but 33 glyphs is not acceptable. Instead we must put Aa1-46 away: 25 + 7 = 32. But if we do that, we must also put away Aa1-23 and Aa1-29.

The remaining parts of the daytime puzzle will be:

Aa1-46	Aa1-47 (1)	Aa1-48
Aa1-16	Aa1-17 (4)	Aa1-18 (5)	Aa1-19	Aa1-20	Aa1-21
Aa1-22 (9)	Aa1-23	Aa1-24 (10)	Aa1-25	Aa1-26	Aa1-27 (13)
Aa1-28	Aa1-29	Aa1-30 (15)	Aa1-31	Aa1-32	Aa1-33
Aa1-34 (19)	Aa1-35	Aa1-36
Aa1-37	Aa1-38

Collecting the true tapa mea glyphs, they will appropriately be only 5:

Aa1-19	Aa1-21	Aa1-25	Aa1-31	Aa1-36
a.m.		noon	p.m.

Their force seems to abate towards right. Did Metoro perceive this pattern?

Aa1-19	Aa1-21	Aa1-25	Aa1-31	Aa1-36
i uhi tapamea	e uhi tapamea	e uhi tapamea	e uhi tapamea	e uhi tapamea

Yes, he did! Only at the 5 glyphs above did he say uhi tapamea:

Aa1-17 (4)	Aa1-23	Aa1-27 (13)	Aa1-29	Aa1-34 (19)
ka tapamea	e hokohuki	ki te henua	ma te hokohuki	te tapamea

I decide to put an excursion at the end of the toa chapter in order to show how the intricate signs of the glyphs, their numbers, and the words of Metoro can be used together into determining structure.
