Kb4-14 marks the end of the sun cycle on the mainland:

						...	19
Kb4-14	Kb4-15	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18	Kb4-19	*Kb5-1
167	24

Tamaiti at Kb4-15 is therefore the beginning of something new. Kb4-16 tells us it is the egg of the shark which is new - we should read these glyphs as a pair with the general denomination ('child') coming first and the following making a more definite statement (ika hiku, the 'tail fish', meaning the very last part). The beginning of the very last part arrives after Kb4-14 and it measures 24 glyphs.

In G the shark (mago) marking the space between the main land and the three islets outside presumably has several functions:

Ga7-11	Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14	Ga7-15	Ga7-16	Ga7-17

First it probably refers to the sharks who are taking their toll of the swimmers in these waters. Then it may also suggest by way of its open jaws how in the west there is an opening through which sun will be swallowed. Nga Kope Ririva do not belong to Hau Maka. Sun has no place there.

When the jaws are closed, as in Ka4-14, the meaning possibly is 'east' (in contrast to the open jaws meaning 'west'):

 

Ka4-13	Ka4-14 (81)	Ka4-15
Ga3-22	Ga3-23 (83)	Ga3-24

The oval in Ka4-13 forms a hole through which, it seems, mago is being born. 4-14 is a sign which connects to Kb4-14. East means birth (*) and west means death (†).

If we reduce 192 with 167 we get 25, which possibly refers to the same idea as those 25 glyphs which come beyond the end of One Tea in G:

 

							23
Gb7-31	Gb8-1	Gb8-2	Gb8-3	Gb8-4	Gb8-5	Gb8-6		Gb8-30
One Tea						25

The queen dies at One Tea and the king at the other end of the island. In both cases 5 * 5 days will follow.

Here the vacant space at Kb5-1 does count, which is not very strange because a vacant space is also a mark of absence.

Gb8-6 illustrates how out from the black ghostly mountain (mauga) a new generation will grow - there is hope. In Gb8-30 the vertical cycles of time possibly illustrate the equality of end and beginning, the glyph being both the beginning and the end of counting. The new year in time lies at the pole. The old queen is dead and a new one is coming.

Gb8-2, on the other hand, shows a new little sun being generated (5 + 5 = 10 feathers).

The conclusion seems to be that from Ka1-1 up to and including (possibly twice) Kb4-14 'sun is shining'. Then he is not:

 

	58				104
Ka1-1		Ka3-14 (60)	Ka3-15	Ka3-16		Kb4-14
167
					...	19
Kb4-15	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18	Kb4-19	*Kb5-1
25

104 happens to be a number which needs further investigations. It is the ordinal number of manu kake in Kb1-7:

 

Ka5-13	Ka5-14	Kb1-1	Kb1-2	Kb1-3 (100)
Kb1-4	Kb1-5	Kb1-6	Kb1-7 (104)	Kb1-8	Kb1-9	Kb1-10
Kb1-11	Kb1-12	Kb1-13	Kb1-14 (111)	Kb1-15	Kb1-16
...	...
*Kb1-17	*Kb1-18	*Kb1-19	*Kb1-20	*Kb1-21	*Kb1-22

When the tablet is turned around it should mean that half the text and half the days have passed away. In Kb1-3 the top of henua is cut off obliquely and in Kb1-22 the feet of kiore are no longer in touch with the earth (henua) - the beginning of the sun season is 'at left' (at bottom).

What in a male is future is past for a female. Therefore the feet of kiore represents the past, while in henua it represents the future - compare how in Kb1-3 (without any growing maro) it is the top part which is lopped off, no future for that part of the 'land'.

In Kb4-14 it is the bottom part of henua (with growing maro) which is cut off. It is the growing part which stops. Grasses grow down at the root.

Kb1-7 says the head of the fat fish is gone, and only the long rest of the fish remains. The bird neck at left is broken and not so soft and pliant as the bird neck at right. The male part of the sun is gone and his female part remains. But it has a shorter duration, it seems, because the horizontal space between the fish and the end of the beak is shorter at right than at left.

The poporo sign in the fish presumably means it is the time of regeneration, of birth. Maybe it means the birth of the season without the head of the 'fish', the season which has clouds and rains. We should remember the Tahua glyphs:

Aa6-66	Aa6-67	Aa6-68

104 - 60 = 44 = 2 * 22:

		42		65		22
Ka3-14 (60)	Ka3-15		Kb1-7 (104)		Kb4-17 (170)
	2 * 22 = 44			3 * 22 = 66
60 + 6 * 22 = 192

Kb1-7 is close to the beginning of line b1 and should therefore represent a 'station'. It is time we try out 22 (= 7 * π) as measure for locating the 'stations' in K.

104 / 22 does not work. But (192 - 104) / 22 = 88 = 4 * 22:

59			42			86
	Ka3-14	Ka3-15		Kb1-7 (104)	Kb1-8		*Kb5-20 (192)
	π	2 * 22 = 44			4 * 22 = 88
60		6 * 22 = 132

2½ glyph lines apparently come at the beginning, outside the 6 sun-defined periods à 22 days. Not until the π glyph (Ka3-14) has closed the first season will sun emerge on the land.

132 / 24 = 5.5, which together with 2.5 will be exactly right in order to reach 8.
