In G there are two hoea glyphs, rather similar yet with completely opposite meanings. Ga2-26 ('the fire generator') precedes the 1st period of spring when the sky roof is beginning to be pushed up, while Gb3-30 exhibits signs of its negative or opposite - beyond comes a dark season (the sky roof is lowered): Ga2-23 Ga2-24 Ga2-25 Ga2-26 Ga2-27 Ga2-28 Ga2-29 Ga3-1 Ga3-2 Ga3-3 Ga3-4 Ga3-5 b3-25 Gb3-26 Gb3-27 Gb3-28 Gb3-29 Gb3-30 Gb4-1 Gb4-2 Gb4-3 Gb4-4 Gb3-30  is followed by a reversed hau tea (Gb4-1) and the location is Akahanga (where the sun king will be buried). The bottom part of Gb3-30 is not open at right like Ga2-26, the right limb is drawn down to the same level as at left. Furthermore, a little pau sign is added to tell that it (light from the sun) is 'finished' (pau).

In Eb6-3, at the beginning of the new sun cycle after a leap over the gap between the years (cfr Eb6-1), the right limb of hoea is hardly uplifted at all from the bottom level - light has not yet increased noticeably: Eb5-29 Eb5-30 Eb5-31 Eb5-32 Eb5-33 Eb5-34 Eb5-35 Eb6-1 Eb6-2 Eb6-3 Eb6-4 Eb6-5

Eb6-1 obviously describes a leap between the years. Such a leap ought to be a construct of the human mind, and therefore indicate a gap in the calendar. On the other hand, what the human mind constructs is only reflections of impressions from nature. Eb6-1 could be winter solstice or it could be a gap in the calendar or both.

The inside of Gb3-30 is blocked from light (which seems always to arrive from the right), if we regard the bottom part of hoea as a kind of house. In Eb6-3 a little light is allowed in. We should remember from hau tea in Tahua how a similar sign was used in what presumably is spring:

Eb6-3	Aa4-46

The little gap in Aa4-46 (and other hau tea close by in the text) is though in every respect the opposite: it is at left and it is at the top of the glyph. If we invert and reverse we can begin to appreciate a kind of relationship between Eb6-3 and Aa4-46:

(Eb6-3)	((Eb6-3))	Aa4-46	Eb6-3	(Aa4-46)	((Aa4-46))

Both (Eb6-3) and (Aa4-46) are rotatated 180º. ((Aa4-46)) and ((Eb6-3)) are in addition reversed (mirrored).

Curved (paupau) is contrasted with straight (tu). The spring time hau tea are located in the season of tu, while the paupau glyphs belong to the opposite season.

In Aa4-46 sun is at top right, and at left is the past - already in the past the sky roof has been reaised.

In Eb6-3 the bottom could refer to the curve of sun, i.e. the time when its light is finished (pau), with winter solstice at the top. From that point emerges 'bent' sunlight. In winter the distance to the sky is short, therefore the 'rays' are short and bent.'

In Gb4-2 (vai) the left bottom 'crescent' is uplifted, as if to indicate that in the past (left) there was light (but not now), a sign similar to the little sun 'eye' at left in the preceding hau tea glyph.

I ought to document some of these ideas in next page (of the glyph dictionary):

If we compare hoea with hau tea we can discern a common model: Eb6-3 Aa4-46 In Aa4-46 the sky roof (top part of the glyph) is high, because it has been pushed high during spring. The proportion of the glyph between roof and ground gives the roof little vertical space, because the 'rays' take much space. In Eb6-3 the 'rays' are bent and short, because the sky roof lies low at winter solstice. The 'roof' is not shown, because the sun (the little 'eye') is far off over the sea and absent. Instead there is a bottom part which exhibits the traits of a house - there is an inside which is dark. By lifting the right side of this 'house', though, a little light will come in from the outside. high ('present') sun and light spreading out low ('absent') sun and confined darkness

That which is 'finished' (pau) in Gb3-30 is the right 'wall' of the 'house', but at the same time as the 'house' is finished also light has disappeared:

Gb3-30	Gb4-1	Gb4-2	Gb4-3	Gb4-4

The 'wall' could be the light from the sun. It may be constructed from 'beams'. But the 'house' (with its 'beams') is not real, it is only a fiction (the circumference is not closed). This 'house' made from 'sun beams' is female in character (as all houses are).

In Gb4-3 a tagata glyph marks the end of a great season. Akahanga (Gb4-4) says it is the sun king who is buried - that is the great season which has ended. Probably the head (maitaki) in Gb4-3 represents the old sun year. In Nga Kope Ririva the bottom 'stone' should indicate this old year:

Ga8-6	Ga7-8 (177)
