4. The canoe should, however, contain two children, twins, because one (the divine child) will take charge of the 1st half of the year while the second (the mortal child) will rule the 2nd half.

Life returns with the sun child. It is proven by the leaves and other greenery starting to grow. When the mortal child begins his rule, though, the world turns into straw again.

The double-canoe, with two hulls, beautifully depicts the twins. In the night calendars of H, P, and Q we can see two hulls:

Ha5-43	Ha5-44	Ha5-45	Ha5-46
Pa5-25	Pa5-26	Pa5-27	Pa5-28	Pa5-29
Qa5-33	Qa5-34	Qa5-35	Qa5-36	Qa5-37

Each of the twins here has a separate hull.
