Counting
backwards from the end of the text, we discover the unusual
glyph type pare as the first glyph of line Pa10. It is
number 628 (200π) counted from the end of the text. Another
pare (Pa3-3) is located 16 * 26 = 416 glyphs earlier:

415 |
 |
627 |

Pa3-3 |
Pa10-1 |
|
115 |
531 |
|
416
= 16 * 26 |
628
= 200π |
We recognize
the two 'fists' in Pa3-3 from earlier experiences, e.g. in Sb2-8.
They are like early spring 'buds' (which later will develop into 'flowery fingers of light'):
Pa10-1 is a
weak sun sign compared to Pa3-3. It has a ghostly
quality because it presumably initiates autumn. 16 * 26
- the distance from the 'spring pare' to the
'fall pare' - alludes to the last night of
growing moon (16) and to the corresponding number of the
sun (26). The meaning is in plain sight: the 416 glyphs
from the first pare to the second describe
summer, the season of light.
