The page 'Hua Reva':

 

The 10th kuhane station, Hua Reva ('the fruit is elevating'), is where the sun king Hotu Matua had his last drink of water - earlier he had 'sucked water' in the form of vapour but now he was no longer as strong and hot as before. The result was that his flames were quenched. He died. End of 'sucking', Omotohi. But his spirit will live on, it is rising speedily, probably to the North Star (the 10th Tahitian 'pillar').

Such can Hua Reva be imagined. I have earlier tried to reconstruct these events in the excursion at Haati,  and I will not repeat myself. The last glyph (number 72) of the moon calendar is Ca8-29:

waxing (36 glyphs) 34
Ca6-17 (157) Ca7-24 (192)
waning (36 glyphs) 34
Ca7-25 Ca8-29 (228)

Taking 8-29 as a cue, we count 8 * 29 = 232 and glyph number 232 comes not far later:

Ca9-1 Ca9-2 Ca9-3 Ca9-4 (232) Ca9-5 Ca9-6
Ca9-7 Ca9-8 Ca9-9 Ca9-10 Ca9-11 Ca9-12

It is Ca9-4 (where 9 * 4 = 36), and its lemon-formed vai is raised high compared with the normal position of glyphs. Hua Reva has arrived. Counted from winter solstice it is day number 232 + 63 = 295.

 

The following two moe birds probably represent the beginning of the 'back side':

 
Ca9-4 (295) Ca9-5 Ca9-6

Day number 296 can be read as 2 * 96 = 192, and glyph number 196 has a reversed moe:

Ca7-25 Ca7-26 Ca7-27 Ca7-28 (196) Ca7-29

7 * 28 = 196. And 2 * 196 = 392 = the number of glyphs on side a.

196 + 63 = 259, which can be read as 2 * 59 = 4 * 29.5, which could mean that 4 out of 8 moon periods are in the past.
