6 of the 10 honui glyphs remain:
Only Ha5-22 is a pure honui, a glyph type structured like tagata when seen en face, but broader in order to accommodate the oval. 5-22 indicates 'fire' has completed its cycle. By reason of this and because of the en face position we can guess this glyph stands at summer solstice (and that the hole is filled with celestial water). 8 * 29.5 = 236 (Te Pei). Maybe I have counted the ordinal number of Ha5-22 wrong? No, I made a quick check and that seems highly improbable. 238 it is if we count from Ha1-1. 8 * 29 = 232, and that number can be reached by counting from Ha1-7:
Ha1-7 comes very early in the text, and if we guess honui glyphs personify sun in some aspect, then Ha1-7 seems to occupy the proper position for his birth:
Ha1-6 is a typical 'midnight' henua and Ha1-8 is a rising fish. |
