manu kake | It was no difficulty finding the proper label for this glyph type, Metoro often said manu kake here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A few preliminary remarks and imaginations: 1. This glyph type appears to be the third stage in what could be a gradual evolution:
From manu rere we deduce a power - a light, a god - in the sky, from moe the announcement of a new such power on its way and making itself noticed already by changing the illumination of the sky. Reversing moe - in order to get the left part of manu kake - should mean saying goodbye to a power leaving the sky, its light waning already. The conclusion is that manu kake could represent the change from one sky light into another. One such instance, we have seen, is the assymmetric manu kake in Ga3-1 which possibly illustrates the situation at the beginning of the season for raising the 'sky roof'. At right (forward in time) the wing and beak are longer than at left (past time).
