The father of the son is Jupiter, we have concluded:


Gb7-31	Gb8-1	Gb8-2	Gb8-3 (445)	Gb8-4	Gb8-5

The kuhane station is here not Hanga Moria One but One Tea. Number 14 instead of number 26. We notice how in One Tea the 'sand' (one) comes in first position instead of last position, here 'sand' is of major importance.

15 * 29.5 = 443.5 is after counting the first 29.5 as belonging to a period 'zero'. If we generalize the idea, it can explain why there is an extra double-month from winter solstice to the beginning of the front side. From which follows that the unit of counting is not months but double-months. A birthday cake cannot have a candle until 1 year has passed.

The white sand (one tea) should be in contrast to the opposite type of sand at Hanga Moria One, because by way of Ca7-14 we have concluded that Hanga Moria One is located at the end of the growing crops. The east side of the island is 'black'.

At the end of waning sun we are at Jupiter and winter solstice. The back side is ruled by the moon and she has reached to the end of her waxing. She gives birth and then she 'dies' (wanes).

We can contrast Gb8-3 with Ca7-14:


Gb8-3	Ca7-14
One Tea	Hanga Moria One

Hua at Gb8-3 is oriented in the normal way, with 'fruit' in front, while in Ca7-14 it is a reversed glyph - the 'fruit' is the opposite of a 'fruit', it is the 'father'.

Ca7-14 appears to be at the end of waxing sun, while Gb8-3 is at the end of waxing moon. At the end of waxing moon the 'tree' and the 'fruit' are drawn to indicate the sun. At the end of waxing sun the 'father' is drawn as a separate part, with moon in front.

In all respects these two glyphs appear to be opposites. 7 * 14 = 98 (in Ca7-14) has so far been a strange equation, but a lead is given by Gb8-3 as number 398 (if the reversed manu rere is number 400). So there seems to be a numerical riddle here. It can be solved by multiplying 3 * 98 = 294, which is the next to last day in a calendar season measuring 10 lunar months.

If we then add 98 to 294 it becomes 392 (the number of glyphs on side a of Mamari).

Ca7-14 is not a hua glyph according to my catalogue, it has no 'arm'. I thought it was obvious that the hua type was just a fusion betwee rima and a variant of hipu:

But in this dictionary we must consider all glyphs which resemble the hua glyph type. In G, therefore, the following are of interest:

side a

Ga3-7	Ga7-33	Ga8-2	Ga8-3	Ga8-13	Ga8-14
hipu		hua

side b

Gb2-27	Gb3-23	Gb3-30	Gb4-17	Gb4-21	Gb4-30

Gb5-3	Gb5-12	Gb6-18	Gb7-26

Gb8-3	Gb8-6	Gb8-7

Gb3-23 (hua) evidently is connected with Gb3-30 (hipu) we have seen.

We have also examined Gb8-3. But Gb4-30 and Gb5-3 deserve more attention.

They are close together:


Gb4-28	Gb4-29	Gb4-30 (Jupiter)	Gb4-31	Gb4-32

Gb4-33	Gb5-1 (Mercury)	Gb5-2	Gb5-3	Gb5-4

The hetuu glyph is coloured by me to indicate Mars. Mars is the spring sun, but he must appear all over the year in his capacity as a member among the 7. The top flame is like a beacon (or tao if you wish), as if to allude to this young 'garment' of the sun. Mars is here standing at the end of the 'nighs of light', then follows Mercury and the dark 29th night.

At Gb5-1 Mercury is also present, as first glyph in the new glyph line. Also as number 1 Mercury is located in a dark time. The preceding Gb4-33 is a day of Sun to indicate the contrast (which also is obvious by the reversal of hau tea from one glyph to the next).

The jump from Sunday to Wednesday proves that the weeks do not continue in an uninterrupted stream all around the glyph lines. It remains to find out where the 'seams' are. Counted from Gb8-30 there are 12 * 29.5 days up to and including Gb4-33. A 'seam' obviously must come between Gb4-33 and Gb5-1.

Counted from Gb1-1 Mercury at Gb5-1 is number 5 * 5 * 5 = 125, a cube of fire at a very dark time. Mercury as number 125 has here a position at the very end of time, he wears 'the costume of Saturn'. But by force of number 1 he is at the same time the beginning, together with the following Jupiter. They represent the two pillars of autumn, and autumn is not yet over. The further development is:


Gb5-5	Gb5-6	Gb5-7	Gb5-8

Gb5-9	Gb5-10	Gb5-11	Gb5-12

Gb5-5 is a day of Sun, but it is a square of 'fire', i.e. also Sun wears 'the costume of Saturn'. Then comes Moon and with a typical tagata glyph says 'it is enough', time ends here. It is day 360 counted from Gb8-30.

In Gb5-7 Mars appears in his double form (sometimes as a far away faint reddish light and sometimes close and strong). The 'fist' held high up front must be the strong, close, appearance of Mars, while the small 'fist' at left should represent the preceding season.

In the summary at rima aueue it has already been stated that Gb5-5 is a dark day:

... In the text of G rima aueue signs show us where the 360-day solar year begins and ends:

side a			side b
28		200	99			27		*112 = 4 28**
	Ga1-29			Gb4-9	Gb4-10		Gb5-5
		300			29

472 (the total number of glyphs in the G text - with Gb8-30 counted twice) is equal to 300 (the number of days with sun 'present') + 30 (Gb8-30--Ga1-29) + 30 (Gb4-10--Gb5-6) + 112. Rima aueue signs end the two 30-day months where sun has not yet arrived, respectively has left ...
