In Tahua,
we have seen, there is a specially designed tara glyph,
drawn as if the top was a separate part from the rest.
The top looks
like a reversed version of the 'body' of the little 'bird' at
the beginning of side a:
A specially
designed vaha mea, also drawn as if the top was a
separate part from the rest, is located somewhat later in the
text:
Here there is a certain resemblance between the top part and the hoea glyph in Ab4-69. When classifying glyphs I judged Aa6-67 to belong both to vaha mea and to hoea. Likewise Aa1-1 became classified as both vae kore and as GD119 (a so far unnamed glyph type). Also, Metoro said mea at Ab4-69 - whereas hoea means its opposite: instrument for tattooing (black). Whatever Aa6-67 may signify it is fairly clear that vaha mea appears not only around winter solstice but also in summer. There must be an 'opening' (vaha) also at summer solstice, because north of the equator time is winter solstice. |
