If winter solstice in Tahua is located somewhere 64 * 2 = 128 (or possibly 64 * 4 = 256) glyphs before the end of side b, then it should be a straightforward task to find it:

a1 90 90 b1 82 82
a2 85 175 b2 85 167
a3 76 251 b3 77 244
a4 82 333 b4 80 324
a5 83 416 b5 80 404
a6 84 500 b6 92 496
a7 85 585 b7 84 580
a8 85 670 b8 84 664
sum 670 sum 664

128 - 84 (b8) = 44, and 84 (b7) - 44 = 40 - i.e. Ab7-40 is one of the alternatives.

The other: 256 - 84 (b8) - 84 (b7) = 88, and 92 (b6) - 88 = 6 - i.e. Ab6-6 is the other. This feels much better, with 88 (cfr 1336, 468, 368, 288, 224, 88 ...), with 92 (= 192 - 100), and with 6 * 6 = 36. And 256 = 4 * 64.

The glyphs must be the judges:

Ab7-33 Ab7-34 Ab7-35 Ab7-36 Ab7-37 Ab7-38 Ab7-39
Ab7-40 (1166) Ab7-41 Ab7-42 Ab7-43 Ab7-44 Ab7-45 Ab7-46
Ab5-79 Ab5-80 Ab6-1 Ab6-2 Ab6-3 Ab6-4 Ab6-5
Ab6-6 (1080) Ab6-7 Ab6-8 Ab6-9 Ab6-10 Ab6-11 Ab6-12

Both sequences are rather good candidates for winter solstice. 7 * 40 = 280 is delivering a little light (hau tea), and 6 * 60 = 360 is an empty (and 'ghostly') hand.

1080 = 36 * 30, and 116 * 6 = 24 * 29.

But Rogo is lacking. Therefore these two glyph sequences presumably are not telling about winter solstice but of some calendar changes.

I can identify 24 Rogo glyphs in Tahua, 8 of which (redmarked) have legs (cannot be at a solstice):

Aa1-58 Aa1-80 Aa2-25 Aa3-67 Aa4-11 Aa4-13
Aa6-77 Aa7-50 Aa7-51 Aa7-69 Ab1-6 Ab1-45
Ab1-56 Ab1-68 Ab1-71 Ab2-62 Ab3-43 Ab5-53
Ab6-77 Ab6-82 Ab7-7 Ab7-25 Ab7-53 Ab8-62

After discarding those with legs and those which do not show both mata, the rest are these 11:

Aa1-80 Aa3-67 Aa4-11 Aa7-50 Aa7-51 Ab1-6
Ab5-53 Ab6-82 Ab7-25 Ab7-53 Ab8-62

The three redmarked are 'empty' and cannot be at winter solstice. The end of side b cannot be at winter solstice, rather at summer solstice. This agrees with 300 days as a measure from winter solstice to Te Pei:

732 596
Ab8-41 (1) Ab8-42 Ab1-20 Ab1-21 (736) Ab1-22 Ab1-23 Ab8-39 Ab8-40
day 1 366 736 / 2 = 368 day 1 298 300
(1334 + 2) glyphs = 668 days = 368 + 300

But side b should then be the front side (which maybe Metoro understood). We should search for winter solstice where 368 days are ending (close to Hanga Te Pau).

Only Ab1-6 is possible:

glyph numbers are counted from Ab8-41
Aa8-85 Ab1-1 (716) Ab1-2 Ab1-3 Ab1-4 Ab1-5 Ab1-6 (721) Ab1-7
358 359 360 361

361 is one week before 368.

Another, nearly equivalent, Rogo is Aa3-67 (one more than 366):

Aa3-65 Aa3-66 Aa3-67 (287) Aa3-68 Aa3-69 Aa3-70
143 144 145

This one is strongly supported by the glyph numbers, but although 144 = 12 * 12 it is hardly meant we primarily should count from Ab8-41. Instead, 287 - 45 = 242 (counted from Aa1-1) is more reasonable. Still we should count 2 glyphs per day, and it means 242 / 2 = day number 121 (one more than 12 * 10).

If both these Rogo glyphs are located at winter solstice, then the solstice must stretch at least for 367 - 360 = 7 days:

718 12
Ab8-41 (1) Ab8-42 Ab1-6 (721) Ab1-7 Ab1-20 Ab1-21 (736)
day 1 359 361 6 736 / 2 = 368
596
Ab1-22 Ab1-23 Ab8-39 Ab8-40
day 1 298 300
