A vae kore glyph looks like a little bird, and the idea seems to be to convey a sense of 'new' or 'young' (as if the little bird was newly hatched). Vae kore glyphs can be found at the beginning of major seasons and the glyph type is in Tahua used in a way which resembles that of viri, e.g.:
While viri conveys a sense of darkness (and end), vae kore suggests the opposite - a sense of new light. In ancient Egypt the goddes of the horizon lifts up the morning sun towards the sky (ref. Wilkinson) in a gesture which resembles vae kore (understood as an arm):
Vae kore, which Metoro said a few times, means 'no legs', and indeed there are no legs used in lifting up a new light from the horizon. |
