At winter solstice the sky is low, and in a low position there tends to accumulate water. It is the opposite of up high where the flames of the sun are ruling. One way to read the glyphs at the beginning of line Ca14 is to imagine them as visible only in the part which is above the surface of this water:
It is no real water of course. The glyphs are not drawn with their circumferences closed, there is no 'life' in them. They are abstractions. Position 363 is the position of Rogo, which explains why we cannot see properly, light has gone out. This state continues first of all up to day 366, we know. Here we can see that also days 367-368 are included (which we also have experience of). The Rogo glyph (Ca13-20, where 13 * 20 = 260) is 'occulted' at the top, and it is not a matter of 'water'. 6 days (from 363 up to and including day 368) are days when vision is impaired. 363 is first 36 and then 63. 368 = 46 * 8, etc. |
