There is no sign of pu in Gb8-16
and the pair of sinking fishes - towards what could be a full moon - were possibly designed thus in order to create a contrast to the pair of upward oriented birds depicted on the back side of Hoa Hakanana'ia:
On the night side of our planet the Sun went from the horizon in the west to the horizon in the east to rise fresh as new through a hole there. As we can see in the Egyptian illustration the direction east was between a pair of birds oriented face to face (as on the top of the Ark of the Israelites), and the pair of sinking fishes could therefore have been drawn to illustrate the assumed similar exit hole at the horizon in the west (held between the hands of Nut, the goddess of Night):
At Achird (in Gb7-8 → *78 at heliacal Rigel) the rays from the rising Sun in the east (at the top of the design) are emerging before his face has come up. In the next day (glyph) he has left his hole and the surface of Mother Earth is illuminated:
At the opposite side of the year compared to the emerging surface of the earth the Fat Tail (Alioth) of Ursa Major could have referred to the Ash clouds remaining after the summer fire had turned (c)old and descended at the horizon in the west.
And possibly the idea of a fat tail illustrating the 'spirit' (air) of 'after life' could have been behind the fat tail of Ursa Minor up in the cold polar region:
And then, continuing along this line of thought, we can finally perceive a credible explanation for the enigmatic object in the right hand of Jupiter Smyrna:
And for that matter also in the hands of Ursa Major (Seven Macaw, Itzam-Yeh):
Fire was present in some hands,
but fire was also a potential characteristic of other limbs:
