There are no hoea glyphs exhibiting a 'fist' in G (or in K), but in Tahua a few are found:
Although showing different kinds of signs, all three glyphs are located at the end of side a and the beginning of side b. They characterize a season. The season in question can be located by using the kuhane journey as a map over time-space. The method has been used in G (cfr the excursion at poporo) and in the excursion from the summary page of hoea it will be shown how also the text of Tahua can be mapped by the kuhane journey. The section of the kuhane journey which incorporates Aa8-33, Aa8-72, and Ab2-17, is located on the south coast between Akahanga (where the sun king has been buried) and Tama (where presumably a sun child will be born). There are no 'sun rays' in these three hoea glyphs (the sun king is buried). Instead we can see how from the 'house' a 'fist' (or hua, 'fruit') is growing, probably a sign of the baby (tamaiti) soon to emerge. |
