The first of our 4 'giving birth' hanau glyphs, Aa4-55, has a peculiar type of ear, looking like a hemispherical cap leaning down towards right:


Aa4-55	Ab1-37	Ab3-62	Ab4-29

This is a sign. It is used at 4 hanau glyphs (from A4-36 to Aa4-61). Earlier the same sign is at left, with the 'cap' leaning upwards:


Aa2-26	Aa2-73	Aa3-48	Aa4-8	Aa4-9

Aa4-36	Aa4-47	Aa4-55	Aa4-61

Aa5-61	Aa7-15

Aa5-61 and Aa7-15 seem to be special cases. Aa7-15 is one of 6 hanau glyphs in a calendar covering the whole glyph line Aa7. The strange Aa5-61 (sharing number 61 with Aa4-61), on the other hand, could be a 6th member in the group with cap at left.


Aa5-61	Aa2-26	Aa2-73

Aa3-48	Aa4-8	Aa4-9

Aa4-36	Aa4-47	Aa4-55	Aa4-61

6 + 4 = 10 suggests cap at left (which arrives before cap at right) may be related to 10 months for the sun, 6 in spring and 4 in autumn. We should notice that there are no 'toes' in the red-marked hanau glyphs. A further study of Aa4-55 follows here.

There are 7 tagata glyphs in glyph line a7:


Aa7-5	Aa7-8

Aa7-11	Aa7-27	Aa7-49

Aa7-71	Aa7-80

Significantly, it seems, cap at left comes early in this series.

In Aa7-11 the cap is drawn to show it is behind the head, possibly also in Aa5-61:


Aa5-61	Aa7-11

Furthermore, the 3 'hairs' in Aa7-27 and Aa7-49 could be the same as in Aa5-61 (though 'blowing' in the other direction):


Aa5-61	Aa7-27	Aa7-49

In Aa7-11 the cap is leaning more than in Aa7-8:


Aa7-8	Aa7-11

Possibly it indicates that it is a part of the left side of maitaki (the right side of which is visible at the upheld arm).

On the other hand, a gradual development with an increasing slope can be seen in these three glyphs:


Aa2-26	Aa3-48	Aa4-8

It may be connected with a tendency to increase the height of the neck and the apex of the head.

Furthermore, there is a general phenomenon of leaning glyphs and any definite judgment as to the meaning of the angle of the cap must take the general phenomenon into consideration.
