1. The top of the maro glyph type, as exemplified in the prototype, exhibits a sign like that at the top of tagata:

tagata	maro

It could indicate midsummer, noon, or some other location characterized by a high position.

The left-right symmetry with 'eyes' (mata) flanking a peak is suggestive. In high summer the earth is dry (maro). Water runs downhill and the high peaks become dry and barren.

Gb1-7 is a glyph which we recognize from the beginning of the 2nd half of text (which is 472 glyphs long), and it suggests the interpretation above could be true:

Gb1-6	Gb1-7 (237)

When high summer is over - at the end of 8 months from the beginning of side a - then the maro sign should be inverted.

Counted from winter solstice (Rogo in Gb6-26) Gb1-6 represents day number 64 + 236 = 300, and the 10 - equal to the number of fingers on both hands - months of the sun should end here.

But the termination of the first 8 lunar months (8 * 29.5 = 236) is what has influenced the picture. There are 3 'feathers' both at right and at left, and this balance cannot refer to the end of sun's 300 days.

The maro figure has been turned 180° to the right as if to illustrate a fall. The lefthand and lower 3 'feathers' have been transferred to a higher position at the right side. Flexible as the strings are, the 'feathers' are still hanging down. A peculiar ure sign emerges from the former lefthand 'string of feathers'.
