Considering what signs might have been applied in Gb5-12 to the standard haga rave glyph, we can immediately identify how narrow it is:
Maybe the narrow opening is partly there in order to make haga rave appear deep. Normal haga rave glyphs have a thicker left 'limb', but that is not so in Gb5-12. Both 'limbs' are lean. The ordinal number of Gb5-12 is 130 (counted from midsummer), which also is a sign, not only of the halfway point to 261 but furthermore to be interpreted as 10 * 13 = 5 * 26, numbers which suggest a kind of final. Reading 5-12 as 5 * 12 = 60 also suggests 'end' (maybe of a 'sun flame', a solar double-month). One may speculate as to the origin of the expression 'five minutes to twelve'. |
