The early spring sun season ends after 12 periods, it appears, and then comes a new Rei, this one presumably relating to the fish manu kake:
The left beak is bent at its end, a sign of old age. The beak at right belongs to another bird, a young one. It is not as strong as the right bird in Ga3-1 but about the same age, it is a weak bird. An old bird at left and a young weak one at right, together it becomes a poor prospect, a sign of 'wilting'. 14 is half 28, and maybe therefore the kiore - henua periods refer to a calendar for the month? The wilting shape could mean waning. It would explain the two dark tao glyphs (2 as in the 2nd of the two faces of the moon), the dark internal wedge marks changes the value of tao into its opposite, to a pair of cool watery things. The light is tapering off according to henua in Ga4-27 - which is as it should because full moon is reached with the 15th night. Finally, it also explains the moon crescent signs at top left in the two Rei:
Bottom means the past, and in Ga4-17 it is a fat sign at bottom left. |
