The reversed haga te pau means its opposite, viz. 'full of new life', and the occurrence of a following ika is natural:
The parallalel texts of P and Q (and of the more idiosyncratic A) should be documented here too, because it is important to establish firm connections between texts:
In spite of the very dissimilar glyphs in A it is absolutely clear that these two glyphs correspond to the three differently designed glyphs in H/P/Q. From Aa1-49 to Aa1-76 (28 glyphs) the text of A runs in parallel with the other three texts, and without this long sequence it would hardly have been possible to establish a connection between Aa1-72--73 and the more explicitly designed glyphs in H/P/Q. The peculiar bird in Aa1-73 shows no sign of ika, and the creator of the A text presumably tried to say something else, or at least he (women used kaikai, men incised rona) used a different expression. |
