I have not used examples of haati from other texts than G. In B we have a pair arranged around niu:

Bb2-2	Bb2-3	Bb2-4

Vae glyphs are oriented with knee towards right (maybe a sign of sun), while haati can be either oriented with knee at right or at left. I have noted this difference earlier, while classifying glyphs:

Probably we have not arrived at the true meaning of haati, though it surely does depict a 'leg'. In order to come further it certainly is necessary to consider haati together with kava, which in a way would have been a better subject for the excursion. But I have chosen the 'map' over the G text instead, because it offers a broader field to work on. We also need to consolidate all facts and ideas. At rima aueue there will be an opportunity to compare it with both haati, vae, and kava.

The first excursion page:

There are 8 + 8 = 16 feathers in Ga7-7 and 9 + 9 = 18 in Gb1-6. 8 and 16 are numbers used in connection with the moon, while 9 and 18 are numbers relating to the sun. The ordinal numbers 7-7 respectively 1-6 are probably used to indicate moon respectively the sun. There are two 'faces' in the moon but only 1 sun appearance, which presumably has forced not only 1-6 but also the idea that sun visits the winter maid and is absent half of the year.

Sun is above and the feathers in Gb1-6 can be interpreted to indicate this fact. Yet there are two parts, as if there were 2 quarters. He cannot be seen while below. Moon should therefore inhabit the other dimension (left-right). At top left in Ga7-7 a ghostly henua sign says the spring sun has gone north. At top right is ihe tau.

At Nga Kope Ririva spring sun has left. The limit at the end does not belong to the period preceding. Number 6 is equal to zero for the sun, an empty eye socket. Henua ora in Ga7-7 is the recycling station for the sun.

For the kuhane Nga Kope Ririva instead is the station of beginning spatially seen. She moves towards east. But in time east and west are irrelevant. Side a moves spatially from east to west, side b moves temporally from beginning to end. However, from Ga7-7 the spatial movement ends and beyond One Tea the temporal movement ends. We have yet to discover what happens beyond these final events.

Next page:

By changing from the measure 29½ to e.g. 30 days per month, another 'map' (calendar) can be read among the glyphs. The distance is gradually increased from the 'stations' defined by 29½: Nga Kope Ririva Te Pei Hua Reva Hatinga Te Kohe Ga7-7 Gb1-6 Gb3-4 Gb4-33 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 Ga7-10 Gb1-10 Gb3-9 Gb5-6 180 = 6 * 30 240 = 8 * 30 300 = 10 * 30 360 = 12 * 30 Ga7-10 is the last glyph of its kind, marking the end of the first half of the regular solar year (which ends with tagata at Gb5-6). The names of the 'stations' have beeen used above also after the measures have been changed - the ideas connected with each of the stations remain.

The ordinal numbers from Gb8-30 dictate that time is advancing when sun moves from east to west on side a.

On side b, of course, time will also advance but without any spatial connection (I think). In the dark the spatial dimensions (3) are irrelevant.

The calendars do not end, however, until a multiple of 16 has been reached. Working with for instance 30½ glyphs per month it is possible to locate yet another calendar: 242 242 Gb8-30 Gb1-14 Gb1-15 Ga1-16 244 = 8 * 30½ 244 = 8 * 30½ Here the exemplified stations are defined by adding 6, 8, 10, and 12 to the ordinal numbers as defined by the multiples of 29.5: Nga Kope Ririva Te Pei Hua Reva Hatinga Te Kohe Ga7-7 Gb1-6 Gb3-4 Gb4-33 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 Ga7-13 Gb1-14 Gb3-14 Gb5-12 183 = 6 * 30½ 244 = 8 * 30½ 305 = 10 * 30½ 366 = 12 * 30½ Conceptually Hanga Te Pau (Gb5-12) is very close to Hatinga Te Kohe - both describe the end of the year. Already at Hua Reva, though, the sun of the year has left - there is a hole where the sun 'eye' used to be.

In the night, watching the sky and the stars, the advancement of time will become apparent. The whole sky roof with the fixed stars slowly move north and south and back again, making a cycle in 365.25 nights.

Yet, there are the moving planets which complicate matters. They have different cycles. The Maya forced the pattern of Venus into what they regarded as a good pattern, even though they must have observed another behaviour. Likewise I supposed the various cycles described in the rongorongo texts to be more in harmony with thought than observation. Numbers are ruling, not observation. 3-14 must be a zero point:

 

3
	Ga3-10	Ga3-11	Ga3-12	Ga3-13	Ga3-14	Ga3-15	Ga3-16

The important numbers certainly have deep impact on how the glyphs are drawn. We can conclude that haú glyphs are used at zero. All zero glyphs are not haú, though.

The game can be pushed even further, to 16 * 31 = 496: 246 246 Gb8-30 Gb1-18 Gb1-19 Ga1-24 Ga1-25 248 = 8 * 31 248 = 8 * 31 Tao at Ga1-25 probably says this is the maximum length of the calendars in G. Nga Kope Ririva Te Pei Hua Reva Hatinga Te Kohe Ga7-7 Gb1-6 Gb3-4 Gb4-33 + 9 + 12 + 15 + 18 Ga7-16 Gb1-18 Gb3-19 Gb5-18 186 = 6 * 31 248 = 8 * 31 310 = 10 * 31 372 = 12 * 31 Gb1-18 indicates Te Pei is the station where the journey of the sun over the year turns around from waxing to waning.

The important sign at Gb1-18 unquestionally means 'noon'. From this we can conclude that half the cycle of the text has been reached, and that the final comes with tao in Ga1-25.

If I am correct in identifying Gb1-18 as the point where sun turns around, then there will be only 2 months left before he goes away (at Hua Reva):

5		1		1
	6		8		10

Half 10 is 5, which agrees with Nga Kope Ririva being outside the sun cycle (not A Hau Maka but A Taanga). It is as if the sun cycle jumps over 2 months and begins again at Gb1-18, giving the pattern 5 + 3 = 8.

The last two months are once again special, being the time of dark cloth:

	1		1
6		8		10

Considering the names beginning with Te it is evident, though, that the last station of the living sun must be Te Pou, i.e. living sun has only 7 months:

The three groups have 7 (a moon number) on side a, and on side b 5 (a sun number) and 4 (an earth number).

5 (fire) kuhane stations on side a belong to Hau Maka. Also 2 on side b, as if to indicate the 2nd season of sun.

We will not go further. Instead, an overview: 246 246 Gb8-30 Gb1-18 Gb1-19 Ga1-24 248 = 8 * 31 248 = 8 * 31 242 242 Gb8-30 Gb1-14 Gb1-15 Ga1-16 244 = 8 * 30.5 244 = 8 * 30.5 238 238 Gb8-30 Gb1-10 Gb1-11 Ga1-8 240 = 8 * 30 240 = 8 * 30 234 234 Gb8-30 Gb1-6 Gb1-7 Gb8-30 236 = 8 * 29.5 236 = 8 * 29.5 With Gb8-30 appearing as 16 * 29.5 = 472 (i.e., twice in the last table), the game seems to be finished - there are 4 ways to measure in the G text, by using 29.5. 30, 30.5, or 31.

We know there are more than 4 ways to measure, but we should not complicate matters at this point. I have given a hint by writing the game 'seems' to be finished.
