'... The Sun spends part of the year with the Winter Maid in the south, afar out on the ocean. In the month of June occurs the changing of the Sun and he slowly returns to his other wife, to the Summer Maid who dwells on land and whose other name is Aroaro-a-manu. This period we call summer. And so acts the Sun in all the years. The child of the Summer Maid was Hikohiko. The old folk have told me ... that at the time of the winter solstice the wise men of yore would say 'The Sun is returning to land to dwell with the Summer Maid.' The word south in the first sentence should read north in order to make the statement consistent with the actual situation in the latitude of New Zealand. The myth had apparently been brought intact from an ancient habitat in the northern hemisphere ...'

Sun moves north to 'live with his Winter Maid' and he therefore no longer is fully present (mauga kore, impalpable).

The incompletely drawn mauga glyph in *Kb1-21 probably means that it is not completely dark. Yet the darkness is not really here, only a forewarning, a spirit whispering.
