4. At rima the explanations then continue with an observation regarding the hoea glyphs - how their orientation evidently governs their meaning:

... However, the 'fingers' in Ga2-25--26 are strictly speaking not 'reversed eating gestures' - they are oriented upwards and not to the right. Instead, a truly 'reversed eating gesture' is exemplified in Ab8-28: Ab8-24 Ab8-25 Ab8-26 Ab8-27 Ab8-28 Ab8-29 Ab8-30 Here the meaning is not 'fire generator' but evidently diminishing ('anti-growing') light. Ordinal number 29 in the following glyph means 'dark'. It is a hoea (instrument for tattooing) glyph and it is normally oriented, not reversed (meaning light) as in Ab4-69: Ab4-68 Ab4-69

When a hoea glyph is open towards right it is reversed and its meaning is also reversed - it becomes an announcer of increasing light instead of darkness. The normal hoea glyph therefore implies that light will 'come back' (return again). 'I will be back' the man from the future said.

In Aa1-1 the little 'person' belongs to the new generation, the one who is nourished by the old. The lower (older) part of Aa1-1 is oriented backwards, referring to the dark past, but the head has its mouth open towards the light future:
