Maybe both hua and toga appear basically in two shapes, one for the sun and one for the moon:

hua toga
sun moon moon  sun

The moon hua above is distinguished by the fact that there are two 'individuals', two separate figures (which can be explained by the left one being the 'mother' and the right one being the 'son'). But no female is necessary in order to die.

In K the sequence ending with a 'fire generator' has a toga glyph with a broad ihe tau, not a whole waning moon crescent but only its top:

 
Ka3-12 Ka3-13 Ka3-14 Ga2-24 (4) Ga2-25 (5) Ga2-26 (6)

Possibly K describes events from the perspective of the moon (nighttime) instead of from the sun (daytime) perspective.

With my colour chart I have translated the ordinal numbers into colours. Ka3-14 is at an important spring station and Mars is the obvious choice. Sun is not visible in the night, but Mars is.

But we will not here continue to discuss the different formulas used in K and G. We are still looking at toga glyphs with empty hands and it is time to focus on those with Y hands.

 

We may here have stumbled on the explanation of why the texts of K and G differ so much in their details. The reason presumably is that K has short glyph lines - they cannot be used for a 'sun perspective'.

14 is the waxing moon maximum and 26 the waxing sun maximum. The glyph lines in K never go as far as to 26 glyphs:

a1 *24 b1 *22
a2 22 b2 *18
a3 21 b3 16
a4 16 b4 19
a5 14 b5 *20
sum *97 sum *95

7 (half 14) and 13 (half 26) combine naturally to express a quarter, 7 * 13 = 91. There are 13 weeks in a quarter or there are 7 'sun periods' in a quarter.

In a year there are 28 * 13 = 364 days or 52 weeks.

The coloured balls in our Christmas trees are the planets, I guess. And when Atan told about coloured balls around full moon, they should also be the planets:

White should be Moon, and popo mea sounds not far from the tapa mea which characterizes Mars:

Hotu (Ohotu) is the star (hoku in Hawaiian) 'fruit' and corresponds to Ohua.

A plant should represent Venus, it seems. Although the Tree (Niu) also connects to Jupiter, and - we have seen - to Mercury.

Mercury has here a black ball which is explainable because this planet is hard to see.

Jupiter got a red ball, the colour of life.

Full moon has no coloured ball, which presumably is in harmony with the idea that when sun is blazing at full strenght at midsummer, then moon is in her new moon position, at the receiving end. Therefore full moon should correspond to a dark new year position. There are no colours in the dark.

Omo means 'to paint', that is what sun is doing when the planets shine in different colours:

Omo

To suck; omoaga, bulky cloud;  ragi omoaga cumulus; omoomo; to suck repeatedly, to suckle; omotahi, to win everything at a game (lit: to suck whole): omotahi-mai-á e au, he has cleaned me out; omotohi, full (of the moon); ku-omotohiá te mahina, the moon is full. Vanaga.

Rima omo, infidelity, faithless, unfaithful. Omoomo, to smack the lips, to suck the breast, to smoke tobacco, to taste of; hakaomoomo, to suckle, to paint. Churchill.

Ta.: Omotu, an ember, a coal. Mq.: komotu, omotu, firebrand. Churchill.

I decide to insert a link from 'colours', leading to these two pages:

 

The probable explanation of why the texts of K and G differ so much in their details is that K has short glyph lines - they cannot be used for a 'sun perspective'.

14 is the number of nights until waxing moon has reached her maximum and 26 apparently is the corresponding waxing sun maximum. The glyph lines in K never go as far as to 26 glyphs:

a1 *24 b1 *22
a2 22 b2 *18
a3 21 b3 16
a4 16 b4 19
a5 14 b5 *20
sum *97 sum *95

7 (half 14) and 13 (half 26) combine naturally to express a quarter, 7 * 13 = 91 days. There are 13 weeks in a quarter but also 7 'sun periods' in a quarter. In a year there are 28 * 13 = 364 days or 52 weeks.

Therefore, in K time must be measured by using weeks (or rather fortnights), while in G it is possible to use sun periods.

 

 

The coloured balls in our Christmas trees represent the planets, I am convinced.

And when Atan told about coloured balls for the nights around full moon, these should also be the planets:

A plant should represent Venus, it seems. Although the Tree (Niu) also connects to Jupiter, and - we have seen - to Mercury.

Mercury has here a black ball which is explainable because this planet is hard to see.

Jupiter has got a red ball, the colour of blood and life.

Full moon has no coloured ball, which is in harmony with the idea that when sun is blazing at full strenght at midsummer, then moon is in her invisible new moon position, at the receiving end. Therefore full moon should correspond to a dark 'invisible' new year position for the sun.

There are no colours in the dark and there are no colours when full moon is shining. The colours appear in between.

Omo means not only to 'suck' but also to 'paint' - that is what sun is doing when the planets shine in their different colours.

 

My pink 14 for Mars is number 11 in the Atan list . I suppose he went from white moon forward, not from Mercury as number 1 and 8:

Venus Saturn Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28

Atan thinks of the planetary colours cycling around the cosmic tree at full moon, while my chart is rather generated from the Venus position as day number 1 of the calendar for the year. From the beginning of K was then inserted Mercury and Jupiter.

The location of the sequence white, pink, black, and red can be discussed, but their sequence not. Moon must come first, then Mars, followed by Mercury and Jupiter. They are the 4 pillars.
