We have earlier (at viri) observed how Aa4-70 is occupying the expected place of the '4th viri' (Aa5-7) - which glyph was described by me as '... slightly bent forward, as if it was old':
Aa4-70 is the 8th and last hau tea of its kind, then comes two hau tea with a new sign, where the right vertical line is short:
Youthful spring is reaching maturity, in Aa5-63 the 'western horizon' is becoming a reality. Aa4-70 has ordinal number 321 counted from Aa1-1, which possibly should be understood as one more than 10 * 32 - the season of growth is in the past. The 'colour' of hau tea then would implicitly be 'black', quite in order because its location is where a viri should have been. We can compare with G:
The message in Aa4-70 cannot, though, be 'black' (it would then have been reversed). Instead its location (both 321 and by dislocating viri) makes a powerful statement: 'Here is light and no darkness'. After 8 'spreading out' hau tea high summer has been reached. |
