The 3 vero glyphs seem to function as if they were 'spears' (vero) killing the 'years'. They 'turn them over face down' (vero).

The Rogo year turns around in day 363 (where '36' becomes '63').

13 * 20 = 260
Ca13-19 Ca13-20 (363)
A kind of moon 'year' ends 10 days later.

14 * 10 = 140 (= 280 / 2)
*Ca14-9 *Ca14-10 (373)
Hatinga Te Kohe at 354 (= 379 - 25).

14 * 16 = 224 (= 354 - 260 / 2)
*Ca14-15 *Ca14-16 (379)

Maro in Ca6-24 seems to be 'in tune' with a moon year ending after 13 * 29 = 12 * 31 + 5 = 377 days:

*Ca14-9 *Ca14-10 (373) *Ca14-11 *Ca14-12 *Ca14-13 *Ca14-14 (377)

377 = 200 + 6 * 29.5, and a year which is 400 days long maybe must be considered in order to find out where maro in Ca6-24 has its proper function.

212 8
Ca6-24 (164) *Ca14-14 (377) *Ca14-23 (386)
222 14 * 23 = 322

14 * 14 = 196 and if we add 213 (the distance from maro in Ca6-24 to *Ca14-14) we will reach 409.

The 'hidden feathers' connect *Ca14-14 with *Ca14-23. The central element in *Ca14-14 is Y, a sign identifying the back side (tu'a). Y is the inversion of the top of the maro glyphs.

From *Ca14-14 to *Ca14-23 there are 9 days, equal to the distance from Hatinga Te Kohe (354) to Rogo (363).

*Ca14-23, 9 days beyond *Ca14-14, could be a sign of Rogo:

*Ca14-9 *Ca14-10 *Ca14-11 *Ca14-12 *Ca14-13 *Ca14-14 (377)
*Ca14-15 *Ca14-16 (379) *Ca14-17
353 354 355
*Ca14-18 *Ca14-19 *Ca14-20 *Ca14-21 *Ca14-22 *Ca14-23 (386)
356 357 358 359 360 361
*Ca14-24 *Ca14-25 *Ca14-26 *Ca14-27 *Ca14-28 *Ca14-29
362 363 364 365 366 367
Cb1-1 Cb1-2 Cb1-3
368 369 370

The resemblance between *Ca14-14 and *Ca14-23 is apparently a matter of a moon version contra a sun version.

Hatinga Te Kohe is where sun is mistreated by the moon (the kuhane). First, though, the text seems to reach Rogo (363) by way of counting from Ca1-1. Then the text maybe shifts to 2 glyphs per day (because 14 * 10 = half 280 indicates a moon perspective with two 'persons', waxing and waning):

*Ca14-9 *Ca14-10 (373)
*Ca14-11 *Ca14-12
*Ca14-13 *Ca14-14 (377)

The day numbers then return to Hatinga Te Kohe:

*Ca14-15 *Ca14-16 *Ca14-17 *Ca14-18 *Ca14-19 *Ca14-20
*Ca14-21 *Ca14-22 *Ca14-23 (386) *Ca14-24 *Ca14-25 *Ca14-26
359 360 361 362 363 364
*Ca14-27 *Ca14-28 *Ca14-29 Cb1-1 Cb1-2 Cb1-3 (395)
365 366 367 368 369 370

18 glyphs describe the flow of days. The short and thick henua of day 354 will return reborn as a powefully drawn midnight henua in Cb1-1. The tablet has been turned and the number is 368 (36 and 8). Honu moves again.

But the text has visited Hatinga Te Kohe earlier, by counting from Ca1-1:

Ca13-7 Ca13-8 Ca13-9 Ca13-10 Ca13-11 (354) Ca13-12
Ca13-13 Ca13-14 Ca13-15 Ca13-16 Ca13-17 (360) Ca13-18
