Te Pei comes at 8 * 29.5 = 236, a dark station for the moon (proven by the following Sirius, Te Pou). Contrasts govern events. Mercury is followed by Jupiter.

If now the 8th station of the moon is so important as to determine what is half the text of G, then it probably means that also the 8th station of the sun (240) should be important. This could be enough of an explanation for henua koti at day 240:


Aa6-23 (439)	Aa6-24	Aa6-25	Aa6-26	Aa6-27	Aa6-28
440 / 2 + 20 = 240		day 1		2


Gb1-9	Gb1-10 (240)	day 1	2

I must add to the dictionary page:

... Maybe Gb6-26 is the first day of winter solstice and Gb7-2 its last day. Or maybe we should count from tamaiti (Gb7-3) and in day 299 recognize a sign which explains the event.

Metoro correctly identified a hole (pu) between the upper and lower parts of the divided henua glyph (Aa6-23) - which is 'proven' by the hole (vaha kai) in Gb1-10.

Te Pei comes at day 8 * 29.5 = 236, a dark station for the moon (proven by the following brilliant star Sirius, Te Pou). Contrasts govern development.

If now the 8th station of the moon is so important as to determine what is half the text of G, then it probably means that also the 8th station of the sun (240) should be important. This could be the true explanation for henua koti (Aa6-23) at day 240.

260 / 240 * 236 = 256 = 236 + 20 (equal to the number of days from Ab8-45 to the end of side b).

The page from 'a sign 6-17 which indicates beginning':

We have noticed how the Mamari moon calendar is full with significant numbers, e-g. glyph number 192 (equal to the number of glyphs in K) at Omotohi:

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

The importance of the first glyph (Ca6-17) is marked by its ordinal number counted from Ca1-1, viz. 157 = 314 / 2.

In G number 6-17 has likewise been chosen for an important first glyph:


Gb6-17 (400)	Gb6-18	Gb6-19	Gb6-20

Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24

For some reason 6-17 apparently was used by the rongorongo writers as first glyph in major time cycles. Any remaining doubts as to the validity of this statement disappears by finding moe in Aa6-17 at what evidently is the first day beyond 8 * 29.5 = 236:

		468
Ab8-45	Ab8-46	468	Aa6-15	Aa6-16 (432)	Aa6-17	Aa6-18
day 1		234	day 236 = 432 / 2 + 20		day 236 + 1

Maybe it is the preceding glyph (6-16) which is important, moa at the end of day 236 instead of moe at the beginning of day 237. Moa should announce the new day and moe be the end of the old day, according to the visual cues.

To my mind comes the trouble with finding out what is the end and what is the beginning in relation to 243 days beyond rau hei:

	242					55
Cb2-22 (46)		Cb12-15	Cb12-16 (290)	Cb12-17	Cb12-18	55	Cb14-19 (348)
						224
Gb1-22 (252)		Ga1-22 (495)	Ga1-23 (496)	Ga1-24	Ga1-25		Gb1-21

Ga6-22 (163)		Gb6-23 (406)	Gb6-24 (407)	Gb6-25	Gb6-26 (409)		Ga6-21

Tao in Ga1-22 is redmarked because such its the meaning. New ones are red hot. Moe in Cb12-15 likewise is referring to the new one (althoug showing a tired old bird).

But in next position old ones are shown, presumably even two of them (as if to indicate the back side).

The new ones are 'backed up' by old ones.

6 * 16 = 8 * 12.

Gb6-17 maybe is 'backed up' by 4 + 12 = 16 glyphs (or 5 periods), the last of which is a gagana:


Gb6-1	Gb6-2	Gb6-3	Gb6-4

Gb6-5	Gb6-6	Gb6-7	Gb6-8	Gb6-9	Gb6-10

Gb6-11	Gb6-12	Gb6-13	Gb6-14	Gb6-15	Gb6-16 (399)

Ca6-16 and preceding glyphs:


Ca6-11	Ca6-12	Ca6-13	Ca6-14	Ca6-15	Ca6-16 (156)
