The text of K gives an impression of being older and less sophisticated than that of G. I tend to regard the absence of the tamaiti glyph type as a sign of it not yet having been created when K was drawn:

Kb4-12	Kb4-13	Kb4-14	Kb4-15 (168)
Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18	Kb4-19

Though the little missing knob at bottom possibly has been used as the fist in Kb4-19.

Ga7-7	Ga7-8	Ga7-9	Ga7-10	Ga7-11 (181)
Ga7-12	Ga7-13	Ga7-14	Ga7-15	Ga7-16

Not even C, which has been claimed (Fischer) to date before the arrival of the missionaries, is without the tamaiti glyph type. C has no pure glyph type, but in K there is one (a sign, not a glyph type):

Ka3-7 (52)

Maybe the pure glyph type was recognized as a possibility later than when C and K were created. The Santiago Staff has no pure glyph, but tamaiti glyphs can be found there.

If K is older than G, we should be careful when drawing conclusions from G to K. We must try to let the text of K speak for itself.

The association from viri = 'the sea' to viri = '29' may have originated from the conjunction of ordinal number 29 with the first viri, at the end of the misty past of creation (in Te Piringa Aniva):

28	'sky emerges'	81	'land emerges'	47	'land sinks'	33
	Ka2-5		Kb1-14		Kb4-6
	29		111		159
192

3 before sun comes on land (111 etc) mirrors 3 (islets) after sun has left land.

Land measures 159 - 111 = 48 = 4 * 12, which does not mean that we automatically can translate 48 glyphs into 48 days. It presumably is more of a symbolic message.

In order to use the text as a calendar, we possibly can take the cues from K and G together. The Rei glyphs say so:

 

Te Kioe Uri (59)
Ka3-9	Ka3-10	Ka3-11	Ka3-12	Ka3-13	Ka3-14	Ka3-15 (60)	Ka3-16
Ga2-23	Ga2-24	Ga2-25	Ga2-26	Ga2-27 (58)	Ga2-28	Ga2-29	Ga3-1 (61)

Nga Kope Ririva (177)
Kb4-12	Kb4-13	Kb4-14	Kb4-15	Kb4-16	Kb4-17	Kb4-18	Kb4-19 (172)
...							...
*Kb5-1	*Kb5-2	*Kb5-3	Kb5-4	Kb5-5 (177)	Kb5-6	Kb5-7	Kb5-8
Ga6-24	Ga6-25	Ga6-26	Ga6-27	Ga6-28	Ga6-29 (170)	Ga7-1	Ga7-2
Ga7-3	Ga7-4	Ga7-5	Ga7-6	Ga7-7 (177)	Ga7-8	Ga7-9	Ga7-10 (180)

Once again 111 emerges, this time applied as a measure between the beginning and end of the calendar proper (beyond the misty beginning and before sun has left the island proper):

 

	111
Ka3-15 (60)		Kb4-19 (172)
Ga2-27 (58)		Ga6-29 (170)

Presumably we should count from the glyph following Rei, in which case we have 112 glyphs = 112 days. Moon measures time and 8 * 14 = 112. But the time of sun on the island is shorter:

 

	61
Kb1-14 (111)		Kb4-19 (172)

Once again, we cannot read 62 as days but should read them symbolically:  111 - 61 = 50 = 5 * 10.

In G a similar idea apparently rules:

 

Ga4-23	Ga4-24	Ga4-25	Ga4-26	Ga4-27 (111)	Ga5-1	Ga5-2	Ga5-3

Ga5-1 has a hand at left and downwards - the season of maximum growth is in the past:

	53		57
Ga2-27 (58)		Ga5-1 (112)		Ga6-29 (170)

A somewhat similar pattern is found in K:

	43		67
Ka3-15 (60)		Kb1-7 (104)		Kb4-19 (172)
