If Thunder is located at high summer, marking the beginning of the 2nd (rainy) part of the year, then his twin sons - Boanerges - maybe could be represented at Hb9-44 and Hb9-46:
They should belong to the 2nd part of the year. If the back-to-back twins represent new year, then the curious person (ariga erua) in Hb9-42 could be Thunder, half a year later (at summer solstice). The kava glyphs (Hb9-43 and Hb9-45) will then suddenly become understandable - they depict the lightning bolts which generate the thunder twins (Taqui Hua-Hua according to the ancient Peruvians). The mouth in Hb9-46 (following a kava sign adorned at the top with a sign of niu) is not very natural, it is drawn like the sector in a circle. The right head in Hb9-42 has a similar mouth. Presumably this twin is the one generated from the sky (Santiago). St. John would then be the natural twin. This guess receives support from the fact that St. John's Day is located at June 24th. In spring nature rules. The fingers in Hb9-41 are drawn to indicate the 'spreading out' of spring. In Hb9-44 the fingers are 'wilting', describing - it seems - the season beyond high summer. In Hb9-46 the fingers are drawn horizontal, appropriate for the time of solstice. Moreover, the back is bent as if the sitting person were old. |
