Gb3-3 is a most peculiar type of glyph, which does not fit in my system for catalogizing glyphs, but it has a comrade in Gb3-6:
Its number counted from the beginning of summer (Ga4-3) is 208 = 13 * 16, which may be significant. It is more probable that Gb3-3 represents Honu than Gb3-1 (which is a takaure glyph). Both Hanga Takaure and Hanga Hoonu are bays and should therefore be regarded as part of the sea. They will naturally belong to the winter season, the season when sun is 'absent' is a season of 'water' (cfr Vaitu). We have so far only scratched on the surface of the problem of where Haga Hoonu might be, but this will be enough for the moment. |
