... The manik, with the tzab, or serpent's rattles as prefix, runs across Madrid tz. 22 , the figures in the pictures all holding the rattle; it runs across the hunting scenes of Madrid tz. 61, 62, and finally appears in all four clauses of tz. 175, the so-called 'baptism' tzolkin. It seems impossible, with all this, to avoid assigning the value of grasping or receiving. But in the final confirmation, we have the direct evidence of the signs for East and West. For the East we have the glyph Ahau-Kin, the Lord Sun, the Lord of Day; for the West we have Manik-Kin, exactly corresponding to the term Chikin, the biting or eating of the Sun, seizing it in the mouth.

The pictures (from Gates) show east, north, west, and south; respectively (the lower two glyphs) 'Lord' (Ahau) and 'grasp' (Manik). Manik was the 7th day sign of the 20 and Ahau the last ...

We can see how the 'pair of hands' oriented towards the past - at left in the picture regarding the heliacal Boat (Zaurak) - are returning upside down and oriented towards the front (ahead) on the other side of Ba5-4, i.e. turned around 180°. If this was the effect of a reflection in some kind of mirror it must be a concave one because normal flat (or convex) mirrors do not result in inverted pictures.

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ..

The stars at the northern spring equinox had due to the precession shifted the cardinal star points of the Sun ahead in the year, and Clawless (clewless, kai viri)

was currently visible close to the Full Moon in November 17 (321), instead of in night number 321 - 64 = 257 (SEPTEMBER 14 → 71 * 4 = 284 → 28 * 4 = 168.

According to Hevelius the Sail (Ra) of Argo Navis had been hoisted up and away from the pair of 'clew' stars:

Suhail al Muhlif

Regor	Roger

... The substitution of the sun for the sail, both of which are called ra or raa in Polynesia, is a remarkable feature in Easter Island art ...

The beginning of the B text at the 'Gate of the Goat' was 74 right ascension days back in time-space, and we can therefore count 321 (November 17) - 74 (Haedus I) = 247 (Ba5-9).

Probably the hinge at the door to a new year was where cardinal changes originated.

From this point (tara) we should be able to move rather safely ahead in the B text. Below are the nakshatra stars which were at the Full Moon, following 183 days after the stars at the Sun:

There was a Hand in Front (in the shadows) followed by a Hand Behind (out in the light) in Ophiuchus (Serpentarius):

The Sun was moving through the morning door from his back side to his front side at the same time as the Serpent dwindled away. He was shining through at Ga1-1 at the time when the Full Moon was at Kajam, the Club of Hercules.

The Bow of Ship of the Sun moving across the back side of the earth was caught by a Net (thus forced to 'make landfall') at dawn (Ba5-10).

... And so they waited there in the darkness at the place where the sun rises. At length the day dawned, a chilly grey at first, then flaming red. And the sun came up from his pit, suspecting nothing. His fire spread over the mountains, and the sea was all glittering. He was there, the great sun himself, to be seen by the brothers more closely than any man had ever seen him. He rose out of the pit until his head was through the noose, and then his shoulders. Then Maui shouted, and the ropes were pulled, the noose ran taut. The huge and flaming creature struggled and threshed, and leapt this way and that, and the noose jerked up and down and back and forth; but the more the captive struggled, the more tightly it held. Then out rushed Maui with his enchanted weapon, and beat the sun about the head, and beat his face most cruelly. The sun screamed out, and groaned and shrieked, and Maui struck him savage blows, until the sun was begging him for mercy. The brothers held the ropes tight, as they had been told, and held on for a long time yet. Then at last when Maui gave the signal they let him go, and the ropes came loose, and the sun crept slowly and feebly on his course that day, and has done ever since. Hence the days are longer than they formerly were. It was during this struggle with the sun that his second name was learned by man. At the height of his agony the sun cried out: 'Why am I treated by you in this way? Do you know what it is you are doing. O you men? Why do you wish to kill Tama nui te ra?' This was his name, meaning Great Son of the Day, which was never known before ...

There was no significant Full Moon star in the next night, and in Ba5-11 the bird is looking up and back (he had no future) - and his staff (club) is broken, we can see. The 3 islets outside the southwestern (toga) corner of Easter Island were not sons of Taraga but sons of Taaga.

Toga. 1. Winter season. Two seasons used to be distinguished in ancient times: hora, summer, and toga, winter. 2. To lean against somehing; to hold something fast; support, post supporting the roof. 3. To throw something with a sudden movement. 4. To feed oneself, to eat enough; e-toga koe ana oho ki te aga, eat well first when you go to work. Vanaga. 1. Winter. P Pau., Mgv.: toga, south. Mq.: tuatoka, east wind. Ta.: toa, south. 2. Column, prop; togatoga, prop, stay. Togariki, northeast wind. Churchill. Wooden platform for a dead chief: ka tuu i te toga (Bb8-42), when the wooden platform has been erected. Barthel 2. The expressions Tonga, Kona, Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the quarter of an island or of the wind, between the south and west, and Tokelau, Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the opposite directions from north to east - expressions universal throughout Polynesia, and but little modified by subsequent local circumstances - point strongly to a former habitat in lands where the regular monsoons prevailed. Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona', contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana', signifies 'the setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau', of which the other forms are merely dialectical variations, signifies 'the cold, chilly sea'. Fornander.

*65 (the Eye, Ain) + 80 = 145 (May 25) and 145 - 64 = 81 (MARCH 22) = 264 (SEPTEMBER 21, Kajam *184) - 183. And 8 days later was Cujam (as if to announce the beginning of the Morning Star days):

Wikipedia points at the Egyptian gesture with arms held high as a Sign of jubilation, which may have been the origin (via Phoenician he) of epsilon.
