We need to once again look at the koti glyphs, because I have earlier found Aa6-13 to be equal in position to Gb1-6, yet koti at Aa6-14 comes in the next day:

Te Pei

8 * 29.5 = 236
Gb1-6 (236) Gb1-7 Aa6-12 Aa6-13 (472) Aa6-14 Aa6-15
Te Pou

9 * 29.5 = 265.5
Gb2-10 (266) Gb2-11 Aa6-70 Aa6-71 (531) Aa6-72 Aa6-73
Hatinga Te Kohe

12 * 29.5 = 354
Gb4-33 (354) Gb5-1 Aa8-79 Aa8-80 (708) Aa8-81 Aa8-82

The picture in the table above does not agree with what we have just have discussed:

 

466
Ab8-45 Ab8-46 Aa6-13 Aa6-14 Aa6-15 Aa6-16 (432)
day 1 233 day 235 day 236 = 20 + 216

The reason is uncertainty as to where exactly to begin counting:

Ab8-39 Ab8-40 Ab8-41 Ab8-42
Ab8-43 Ab8-44 Ab8-45 (1) Ab8-46
Ab8-47 Ab8-48 Ab8-49 Ab8-50

In one of the recent dictionary pages I wrote: ... In order to accomplish a structure which is parallel with G I have here revised the counting in A to begin neither from pito (Ab8-43) nor from ihe tau (Ab8-44) but from the combination of niu with haś ...

There are 85 glyphs in line Ab8. From Ab8-45 to the end of side b there are 40 glyphs (presumably 20 days), which seems to be an even and good number. On the other hand we have seen 63 (36 reversed) as one of the measures used for the end of side b, an odd number forcing odd measures (counting Gb8-30 twice respectively beginning the front side with Ha1-4).

In A the situation seems to be different, because the position of tamaiti koti at Aa6-14 is not determined by 64 (63 + 1). Or is it? We must ascertain if this statement is correct.

With Ab8-45 located 20 days earlier than the end of side b, we need to move back another 43 days (86 glyphs).

86 - 44 = 42, and in line Ab7 there are 84 glyphs. We should look at the center of line Ab7:

Ab7-31 Ab7-32 Ab7-33 (1199) Ab7-34 Ab7-35 Ab7-36
599 600 601
Ab7-37 Ab7-38 Ab7-39 (1205) Ab7-40 Ab7-41 Ab7-42
602 603 604
Ab7-43 Ab7-44 Ab7-45 (1211) Ab7-46 Ab7-47 Ab7-48
605 = 1210 / 2 606 607
Ab7-49 Ab7-50 Ab7-51 (1217) Ab7-52 Ab7-53 Ab7-54
608 609 610

The curious Rogo in Ab7-23, together with 10 * 61 days, could indicate the end of the 'front side'.

The 2 Rei glyphs flanking honui at Ab7-45 (where 7 * 45 = 315, one more than 314) - is located one glyph line earlier than Ab8-45 (where 8 * 45 = 360). 314 + 46 = 360.

The glyph type in Ab7-43 is the same as in Ga8-22:

Ga8-16 Ga8-17 Ga8-18 Ga8-19 Ga8-20
Ga8-21 Ga8-22 (226) Ga8-23 Ga8-24 Ga8-25
Ga8-26 Gb1-1 Gb1-2 Gb1-3 Gb1-4

No more such glyph types can be seen in G. Ga8-22 is positioned as number 290 counted from winter solstice.

605 - 290 = 315, seems to be significant.

In Tahua there are two more, and we can see a clear pattern:

927 30 94 280
Aa4-30 (281) Ab7-43 (1209) Ab7-74 (1240)
928 = 29 * 32 406 = 29 * 14

There is a very clear break in time between Ab7-42 and Ab7-43.

Yet, there is no Rogo here. Niu at Ab8-45 still remains a good candidate for where to begin counting. From Ab8-45 to Aa4-30 there are 40 + 280 = 320 glyphs:

316
Ab8-45 Ab8-46 Aa4-28 Aa4-29 Aa4-30 (281) Aa4-31
day 1 158 20 + 280 / 2 = 160 day 161
