Gb6-18 has a sign at right which looks like an upside down hipu:
It should therefore mean the opposite of hipu - viz. a striving upwards (as if there were flames inside a balloon). The fists held high agree in meaning. Possibly the 3 fists each represents one quarter of sun, while the great 'fist' (upside down hipu) comes as the 4th (and most important of the quarters). The location is Tama - a new year is waiting to be born:
Gb7-26 is located at 437, beyond 14 * 31 = 434 but not as far away as One Tea (at 15 * 29.5 = 442.5):
A new sun is released at 10 * 42 = 420, and 10 glyphs later we can see a rising fish identical with the one in Gb7-26. Presumably it is the same fish which was released earlier:
A gradual development is evident. In Gb7-26 it looks as if the released fish has become pregnant with a sun head, connected by a navel string to a sign more looking like hua ('fruit') than hipu. Counting from tamaiti in Gb7-3 there are 24 glyphs, and the little 'knob' at bottom identifies the cycle:
7 * 26 = 182 is the final proof we need to conclude that a new half year is about to begin. The hipu in Gb7-26 has a child inside. |
