There are no vae glyphs in the Mamari moon calendar - and we now concentrate only on the glyph type vae, ignoring other glyphs which show legs in their proper places. Neither are there any vae glyphs in the calendars for the week (H and P), nor in the calendars for the daylight and night (A, H, P, Q), nor in the calendars for the year (E, G, and K).

Yet, we have seen vae glyphs. The first instance was when niu glyphs were discussed:


Aa1-13	Aa1-14	Aa1-15

... The intended meaning of the sequence may be to bring to mind the story about 'killing' the old fire and how a new fire then is alighted, corresponding to the new year sun. Here niu would then correspond to the first phase of the story - when the old fire has been stamped out and only the ghost of it remains at the top. The bottom part is like a sack into which the still red hot embers of the old fire have been put. Aa1-13 marks the 'dawn' of a new year. The 3 glyphs arrive after 12 glyphs referring to the solar year ...

A new fire - we have learnt - is, though, not represented by vae, but by a special kind of 'hand':


Ga2-24		Ga2-25		Ga2-26	Ga2-27

Ka3-12		Ka3-13		Ka3-14	Ka3-15
	5		16
Eb5-15		Eb5-21		Eb6-3	Eb6-4

The spirit of the 'old one waving goodbye' (Gas-24 etc) is 'incorporated' in a new generation. It was important for Ure Honu to get hold of the skull ('nut') of the old king.

Only in Eb5-21 can we see a leg.
