Gb2-27 is located as the first glyph at Hua Reva:


Gb2-27	Gb2-28	Gb2-29 (285)	Gb2-30	Gb2-31

Gb3-30, hoea with a little pau sign at bottom right, comes at the 11th station, Akahanga:


Gb3-27	*Gb3-28 (319 = 11 29)**	Gb3-29	Gb3-30	Gb4-1

Gb4-17 is located in the midst among glyphs describing the end of the 'burial':


Gb4-13 (334)	Gb4-14	Gb4-15	Gb4-16

Gb4-17	Gb4-18	Gb4-19	*Gb4-20 (341 = 11 31)**

Gb4-21	Gb4-22	Gb4-23 (344)

4-13 (in Gb4-13) presumably alludes to 4 * 13 = 52 weeks in a year, and we can see what can be read as a hipu sign at bottom right. It is - like the hipu sign in Ga7-33 - a 'closed fist' on its way down.

334 = 2 * 167 is no coincidence. 167 is one less than 168 (= 7 * 24), and counting twice 168 we arrive at the magnificent manu rere in Gb4-15 (where 4 * 15 = 60, the number of days in a solar double-month). Its ordinal number is 336.

Gb4-14 has ordinal number 335 = 5 * 67, and we should immediately remember Ga3-7 (with the identical magnificent manu rere at right, at position 68):

			266
Ga3-6 (66)	Ga3-7	Ga3-8		Gb4-14	Gb4-15 (336)
	*4 67 = 268**

A square with 67 days on each side measures the difference between 300 and 4 * 8 = 32. Gb4-14 can then be compared with Ga4-14:

	*236 = 8 29.5**
Ga4-14 (98)	*236 = 8 29.5**	Gb4-14 (335)

First comes 32 days of spring growth (Ga3-7 -- Ga4-14), where 32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2. Then follows 8 lunar synodic months.

Hipu in Gb4-17 is a 'ghost', it cannot contain anything living because its outline is not closed. It is like a Christmas sock emptied of its contents, still hanging there in the fireplace. Its ordinal number is 338 = 13 * 26.

The two months (338 - 282 = 2 * 28 days) from hipu in Gb2-27 up to and including its emtpy 'carcass' in Gb4-17 describe the events in Hua Reva and Akahanga.

The two magnificent manu rere glyphs evidently are connected with what happens to the sun. I have redmarked 6 manu rere which seem to be the same 'person':


Ga2-18	Ga2-19	Ga2-22	Ga3-6	Ga3-8	Ga3-18

Ga4-16	Ga5-8	Ga6-14	Ga6-19	Ga8-20	Gb1-4

Gb1-12	Gb3-14	Gb3-20	Gb3-22	Gb4-6	Gb4-15

Gb7-7	Gb7-28	Gb8-5	Gb8-18	Gb8-20	Gb8-22

Gb8-23	Gb8-25	Gb8-26	Gb8-27

The head form and the beak, but also the feet, are characteristic.


Ga2-22	Ga3-8	Gb1-4	Gb4-6	Gb4-15	Gb8-5
53	68	234	327	336	447
*472 - 380 = 92 = 4 23**	*268 = 4 67**			*112 = 4 28**
*472 - 380 = 92 = 4 23**	*380 = 20 19**

We can read that 472 = 4 * 90 (i.e. 23 + 67) + 4 * 28 = 4 * 118.

360 + 112 seems to be the measures of the sun cycle respectively of the moon cycle.

I ought to document this in the glyph dictionary:

... 334 = 2 * 167 is no coincidence. 167 is one less than 168 (= 7 * 24), and counting twice 168 we arrive at the magnificent manu rere in Gb4-15 (where 4 * 15 = 60, the number of days in a solar double-month). Its ordinal number is 336 ...

Among the 28 manu rere glyphs in the text of G we can perceive different 'personalities', e.g.:


Ga3-8	Gb8-18

We can identify 6 birds belonging to the type exemplified by Ga3-8 ('magnificent manu rere'):


Ga2-22	Ga3-8	Gb1-4	Gb4-6	Gb4-15	Gb8-5

They are distributed in a way which enables the reader to understand that the 472 glyphs represent a combination of 360 and 112.

If we focus on the non-complex (redmarked below) glyphs and count the distances between them, we can identify three multiples of 4:


Ga2-22	Ga3-8	Gb1-4	Gb4-6	Gb4-15	Gb8-5
53	68	234	327	336	447
*472 - 380 = 92 = 4 23**	*268 = 4 67**			*112 = 4 28**
*472 - 380 = 92 = 4 23**	*380 = 20 19**

We can read that 472 = 4 * 90 (i.e. 23 + 67) + 4 * 28. The fundamental building blocks are 360 and 112. Obviously 360 stands for the regular solar year with 12 months and 30 days in each, but the moon measure 112 is not as known for us in Western Civilisation.

There are 3 months in a quarter and 4 quarters in a year, there are 4 weeks in 28 nights and 4 'quarters' will be 16 weeks = 112 nights. We should remember that 112 has been noted before:

	92		55		55		67
Ga4-3		Ga7-10		Gb1-6		Gb3-1		Gb5-6 (360)
94 ↑			112 →				68 ↓
			180
274

	67		111			82
Gb3-1		Gb5-6		Gb8-30	Ga1-1		Ga4-1	Ga4-2
	68		112		84
	264

112 + 68 = 180 and 112 + 84 = 196. 180 = 6 * 30 and 196 = 7 * 28.

472 = 6 * 30 + 7 * 28 + 96, where 96 of course must be a multiple of 8 (96 = 8 * 12).

And we could have gone further and said that 472 = 4 * (4 * 29.5) = 4 * 118, where 118 is a 'cousin' of 112 and 360.

If we think of 472 as 4 * 112 + 24, we can understand why the strange figure in Gb8-7 has a dark sky (ragi) at right, as if a consequence of the 'sock' in the center - there are two vancies at the top and the main figure has dived deep:


Gb8-6 (448)	Gb8-7	Gb8-8	Gb8-9	Gb8-10

Gb8-11	Gb8-12	Gb8-13	Gb8-14	Gb8-15

Gb8-16	Gb8-17	Gb8-18 (460)	Gb8-19	Gb8-20

Gb8-21	Gb8-22	Gb8-23	Gb8-24	Gb8-25

Gb8-26	Gb8-27	Gb8-28	Gb8-29	Gb8-30 (472)

The game can be perceived. It is the old problem of 'squaring' the circle. A square is carved on the circumference of the circle so that it divides it in 4 equal parts (an equal amount of days). The square can be called 'earth' and the circle 'sky'.
