2. Contrary to Metoro's vae kore I would like to put focus on the opposite - the little bird has what could be a knee joint:

vae kore	vae	rima

Only, it is oriented backwards, as if it was an elbow.

By comparing with rima we can see how the head of the vae kore bird might be imagined as a fist (inside which the 3 fingers are hidden) with a thumb.

If vae kore is connected with a beginning, then the closed fist implies no finger has been counted yet. We should reorder the three glyph types into:

vae kore	rima	vae

In rima 'daylight' is over, in vae also the 'day' (which ends at 'midnight') is over.

Suddenly we realize Metoro could have chosen vae kore to express the fundamental fact - the little bird has no leg but an arm where the leg should be!
