9-10 respectively 12-13 are numbers which suggest sun is leaving for his winter maid respectively coming to the exit of the solar year. The corresponding Omotohi numbers (14 respectively 18) could refer to an old 10-month lunar year (295 nights long) respectively to a more modern solar year with 360 (= 20 * 18) days.

In both versions, though, Ohua is located at an earlier stage than Omotohi:

26 Antares, Ana-mua, is the star which announces the beginning of summer in Polynesia. It has the role of Aldebaran (Ana-muri) north of the equator. South of the equator spring occurs when it is autumn north of the equator, and when anciently Taurus was located at spring equinox, Scorpio announced autumn equionox. The list of 10 Tahitian 'pillar stars' (ana) gives to Antares and Aldebaran the first two places, and Aldebaran is associated with tattooing (which suggests dark marks): 1 Ana-mua, entrance pillar Antares, α Scorpii -26° 19'  16h 26 2 Ana-muri, rear pillar (at the foot of which was the place for tattooing) Aldebaran, α Tauri 16° 25'  04h 33 3 Ana-roto, middle pillar Spica, α Virginis -10° 54'  13h 23 4 Ana-tipu, upper-side-pillar (where the guards stood) Dubhe, α Ursae Majoris 62° 01'  11h 01 5 Ana-heu-heu-po, the pillar where debates were held Alphard, α Hydrae -08° 26'  09h 25 6 Ana-tahua-taata-metua-te-tupu-mavae, a pillar to stand by Arcturus, α Bootis 19° 27'  14h 13 7 Ana-tahua-vahine-o-toa-te-manava, pillar for elocution Procyon, α Canis Minoris 05° 21'  07h 37 8 Ana-varu, pillar to sit by Betelgeuse, α Orionis 07° 24'  05h 52 9 Ana-iva, pillar of exit Phaed, γ Ursae Majoris 53° 58'  11h 51 10 Ana-nia, pillar-to-fish-by North Star, α Ursae Minoris 89° 02'  01h The association (south of the equator) of Antares with spring made it natural to connect it with the sun. It announces that sun is coming back from his stay with the Winter Maid. And when sun leaves in autumn, going north again to Hine-Takurua, it is Aldebaran who announces that event. In the week Monday comes after Sunday, and Aldebaran (coming in 2nd place in the list of 'pillars') should be associated with the moon - the mirror image of sun. The declination of Ana-muri is positive (16º), while the declination of Ana-mua (-26º) indicates a position in the south. After Monday comes Tuesday, the day of Mars. If the pattern continues, the middle pillar (Ana-roto) should be connected with Mars. The name Antares is probably to be understood as the star opposite to Mars (Ares, who has his 'house' in Aries, the Ram). North of the equator Mars has a role closely connected with the return of light and the planet was therefore in opposition to Antares. South of the equator a third pillar should have a negative declination (if the third pillar is to be connected with sun light), and Spica has been chosen. Its declination happens to be -10º, which then presumably will associate it with the 10 months of the year. 26 is a prominent number in the rongorongo texts, and we can now appreciate its meaning - it indicates the sun by way of the declination of Antares. The Gilbertese saw Antares as marking the southern boundary in the sky: The kuhane stations also indicate that 26 is the last station of the 'king': 1 Nga Kope Ririva Tutuu Vai A Te Taanga 9 Hua Reva 17 Pua Katiki 2 Te Pu Mahore 10 Akahanga 18 Maunga Teatea 3 Te Poko Uri 11 Hatinga Te Kohe 19 Mahatua 4 Te Manavai 12 Roto Iri Are 20 Taharoa 5 Te Kioe Uri 13 Tama 21 Hanga Hoonu 6 Te Piringa Aniva 14 One Tea 22 Rangi Meamea 7 Te Pei 15 Hanga Takaure 23 Peke Tau O Hiti 8 Te Pou 16 Poike 24 Mauga Hau Epa (24/2) * 30 = 360 25 Oromanga 26 Hanga Moria One residences of the current king at Anakena 27 Papa O Pea 28 Ahu Akapu residences for the future and the abdicated kings (28/2) * 30 = 420 26 * 14 = 364 has in the G text a telling open mouth waiting to swallow the sun: Gb5-6 Gb5-7 Gb5-8 Gb5-9 Gb5-10 Gb5-11 Gb5-12 5 * 10 (in Gb5-10) says it in numbers: 5 ('fire', i.e. the sun) has now reached to the end of his 'fingers' (10). Fingers are associated with fire, cfr Maui and Mahuika.

If sun moves 26 (in some measure) up from the equator to a maximum at summer solstice, he will need an equal amount (26) for 'waning'. But he does not stop at the equator, he moves on another 16 stations, to Hine Takurua. 26 + 16 = 42, a number which we now can feel descriptive of the waning side of sun.

If 26 is to be coupled with fortnights, sun will need 13 such to move from winter solstice to summer solstice (13 * 14 = 182). But another 10 days are necessary to reach 192. They seem to be necessary for his stay with the summer maid, to produce next generation. Spica (spike) - in the Virgin - means 'inflorescence of sessile flowers on a long axis' (English Etymology).

Clearly the positive declination of Aldebaran indicates the measure 16 for the moon and the negative declination for Antares the measure 26 for the sun. We have found new evidence strengthening the earlier suggestion of 26 as being connected with the sun:

		summer
Ka4-14	Ka4-15 (82)		Kb2-15 (134)	Kb2-16
	52 = 2 * 26

The K text possibly has used 4 * 13 = 52 glyphs to identify the period from Ana-mua to Ana-muri. If so, then it is not strange to find a sequence of 6 glyphs at the end of the text (instead of the expected 10 if midsummer was the final):

 

Kb5-14 (186)	Kb5-15	Kb5-16	Kb5-17	Kb5-18	Kb5-19	Kb5-20 (192)

5 * 20 (in Kb5-20) is equal to 100. Haú in Kb5-14 has 3 + 5 = 8 'feathers' and 186 = 6 * 31. In Kb5-18 there are 3 'feathers' in front - presumably representing spring.

Are there 10 (or 5?) glyphs in the center of the summer which could be interpreted as Spica (Ana-roto)? The 13th kuhane station Roto Iri Are is a location of regeneration, and another such should be expected half a year earlier.

82 (Ka4-15) + 25 = 107. The next half of summer begins with 108 = 4 * 27 at Kb1-11. And indeed we find 10 glyphs immediately preceding at the beginning of side b:

 

Ka5-14 (97)	Kb1-1	Kb1-2	Kb1-3 (100)	Kb1-4	Kb1-5
Kb1-6	Kb1-7 (104)	Kb1-8	Kb1-9	Kb1-10	Kb1-11

104 at manu kake obviously refers to 4 * 26. The 'earth' of spring sun is finished. In Kb1-3 we can see maximum approaching, and then 10 * 10 surely means the final of spring sun.

186 (Kb5-14) - 97 (Ka5-14) = 89 is close to a quarter if each glyph is equal to one day. If equal to 2 days, 89 is close to half a year.
