The double-headed
hakaturou glyph Bb6-17 should be compared with another
such glyph, Eb8-25:
The
two 'beaks' in Eb8-25 are differently drawn, the one
at right looking similar to those in
Monday-Wednesday and the one at left similar to the
'beaks' in Thursday-Saturday:
How 'beaks' are drawn is no coincidence, every difference is deliberately designed to carry meaning. Bb6-17 has the top of the mauga part drawn similar to the 'head' of hakaturou in Sunday - an upwards oriented 'jaw' defined by two straight lines:
Then follows the middle 'head' with a 'beak' similar to those in Monday-Wednesday. At right the 'head' has its 'beak' like those in Thursday-Saturday. It is the same order between the three types of 'beak' in Bb6-17 and those in the calendar for the week (or planets). In Bb6-17 a reversal is illustrated between the middle and right 'heads', and sun-flames emerge from the back of the right 'head'. In Eb8-25 the 'heads' are also looking at each other. In the Mamari moon calendar, on the other hand, old and new are not looking at each other:
