The moe glyphs are not exactly where they could be expected to be (at day number 150 respectively 300). There are 12 glyphs in a group with the 150th day at a Janus pair we recognize:
Several different calendars are integrated in a complex manner. Therefore it is not surprising to find Ga6-6 four glyphs earlier than at position 150. Similarly, it is Gb3-9 which occupies position 300, not the moe glyph:
Gb3-12 comes after sun has been 'swallowed' (at Gb3-9) and it is therefore easy to interpret moe here to mean koata (the moon shine arriving before she rises). Moe in Ga6-6 - contrariwise - should come before the sun child has appeared (tamaiti in Ga6-12). Ga6-6 is located 6 glyphs before Ga6-12, while Gb3-12 comes 3 glyphs after Gb3-9. 6 is the number of the sun and 3 possibly alludes to 3 * 9 + 3 = 30. Beyond Gb3-12 comes what probably illustrates the birth of moon herself:
And then follows a π glyph (3-14), meaning that half a cycle is completed - counted by the measure 30½ days in a month (cfr excursion at haati). |
