We had better gradually extend the table. Hua Reva can now be incorporated:

 

Te Pei

8 * 29.5 = 236

Gb1-6 Gb1-7 (236) Aa6-12 Aa6-13 Aa6-14 Aa6-15 (472)
Te Pou

9 * 29.5 = 265.5

Gb2-10 Gb2-11 (266) Aa6-72 Aa6-73 Aa6-74 Aa6-75 (532)
Hua Reva

10 * 29.5 = 295

Gb3-4 Gb3-5 (295) Aa7-46 Aa7-47 Aa7-48 Aa7-49 (590)
Hatinga Te Kohe

12 * 29.5 = 354

Gb4-33 Gb5-1 (354) Aa8-79 Aa8-80 Aa8-81 Aa8-82 (708)
Hanga Te Pau
Gb5-11 Gb5-12 (366) Ab1-16 Ab1-17 Ab1-18 Ab1-19 (730)

The oval at the elbow in Aa7-49 could correspond to the oval in Gb3-5, both indicating how the sun cycle is finished. Ihe tau in Aa7-48 is the 4th and last of its kind and the fundamental meaning of ihe tau maybe is similar to our sign †.

The reversal illustrated by shifting the side of the 'eye' in hau tea at Hatinga Te Kohe has not been used at Hua Reva, but the takaure signs in Gb3-4--5 have shifted the side of the short 'arm'. Takaure in Gb3-5 is not, though, a reflection in the 'water surface' of takaure in Gb3-4, because the 'eye' has not shifted side from right to left (and the sign at left in Gb3-4, where a left 'eye' could have been, has disappeared in Gb3-5).

Vai in Aa6-75 with glyph number 532 has 'run out' at vai in Gb3-5. There cannot be any 'water' in Gb3-5 to give reflections. Or rather, sun is no longer present. 295 means the dark time (29.5) of the sun (10). 532 is expressing 'fire' (5) is at its last stage (32 - half the chess board). 6 * 75 (in Aa6-75) = 450 = 9 * 5 * 10.

The oval in Gb3-5 has a takaure inside, but no 'water'. Possibly the idea has been at work also in Gb5-12, where the pau 'knee' could incorporate the 'spirit' of the sun, protected by the surrounding 'black' oval. If so, then a similar design could be the 'squared knee ball' in Aa7-27:

 

1
Aa7-8 Aa7-9 Aa7-10 Aa7-11 Aa7-12 Aa7-13
3
Aa7-22 Aa7-23 Aa7-24 Aa7-25 Aa7-26 Aa7-27
5
Aa7-44 Aa7-45 Aa7-46 Aa7-47 Aa7-48 Aa7-49

The half-circle head ornaments in Aa7-8 and Aa7-11 probably refer to high summer, and then the 3 threads in Aa7-27 and Aa7-49 could mean the opposite, viz. 'low winter'.

Once we have noticed the half-circle ornaments at the 'eye' in hanau glyphs. We can compare e.g.:

 

Aa2-26 Aa2-73 Aa3-48 Aa4-8 Aa4-9
Aa4-36 Aa4-47 Aa4-55 Aa4-61 Aa5-61

From being located at left (the first 5 glyphs) they become located at right, and then - at Aa5-61 - a complex design shows 3 threads. Presumably there is an element of time involved in what 'head gear' should be used.

The idea of 16 * 24 = 384 marking the point of safe landing after a leap over the crack in regular time, as if jumping over a dangerous river, is connected with 16 * 29.5 = 472 = Hanga Takaure. The text flow in G here makes a jump, from the end of side b to the beginning of side a:

 

Hanga Takaure

16 * 29.5 = 472

Gb8-30 Ga1-1 (472) Ab3-63 Ab3-64 Ab3-65 Ab3-66 (944)

3-65 and 3-66 obviously refer to the end of the sun year, and we noticed the similarity between Gb8-30 and Ab3-58:

 
Ab3-58 Gb8-30

Maybe the double ihe tau sign in Ab3-65 should be compared with the strange 'tara' gap in Ga1-1:

Ab3-65 Ga1-1

Both pairs of glyphs seem to say: 'We are two yet one and the same.' It could be a way to consolidate the time flow, to show there is no real gap in time'.
