At the opposite 'corner' of the year a reversed change occurs - summer leaves and in comes the dark sesaon:
The little 'eye' in hau tea glyphs is normally located on the right side, as in Gb4-33. But in Gb5-1 the 'eye' is shifted to the left (meaning 'in the past'). The 4th quarter of the year is characterized by darkness and the change is illustrated by a reversed hau tea glyph. Light has 'left'. 8 times 26 = 208 glyphs are used in G for the 1st half of the year and 8 * 29.5 = 236 glyphs for the 2nd half of the year. In Gb1-7 an upside down figure (with 6 'feathers', 3 on each side) illustrates the reversal at high summer from growing to 'falling' sun. The season of the moon (8 * 29.5 glyphs long) is beginning at Gb1-7. Yet, not until Gb5-1 will darkness dominate. The normal little 'eye' at right in hau tea glyphs is a sign which apparently has been borrowed to be used for instance in Ga5-19 and in the 'rima kava' glyphs (Ca10-10 etc):
