The hetuu glyph is coloured by me to indicate Mars. Mars is the spring sun, but he must appear all over the year in his capacity as a member among the 7. The top flame is like a beacon (or tao if you wish), as if to allude to this young 'garment' of the sun. Mars is here standing at the end of the 'nighs of light', then follows Mercury and the dark 29th night. At Gb5-1 Mercury is also present, as first glyph in the new glyph line. Also as number 1 Mercury is located in a dark time. The preceding Gb4-33 is a day of Sun to indicate the contrast (which also is obvious by the reversal of hau tea from one glyph to the next). The jump from Sunday to Wednesday proves that the weeks do not continue in an uninterrupted stream all around the glyph lines. It remains to find out where the 'seams' are. Counted from Gb8-30 there are 12 * 29.5 days up to and including Gb4-33. A 'seam' obviously must come between Gb4-33 and Gb5-1. Counted from Gb1-1 Mercury at Gb5-1 is number 5 * 5 * 5 = 125, a cube of fire at a very dark time. Mercury as number 125 has here a position at the very end of time, he wears 'the costume of Saturn'. But by force of number 1 he is at the same time the beginning, together with the following Jupiter. They represent the two pillars of autumn, and autumn is not yet over. The further development is:
Gb5-5 is a day of Sun, but it is a square of 'fire', i.e. also Sun wears 'the costume of Saturn'. Then comes Moon and with a typical tagata glyph says 'it is enough', time ends here. It is day 360 counted from Gb8-30. In Gb5-7 Mars appears in his double form (sometimes as a far away faint reddish light and sometimes close and strong). The 'fist' held high up front must be the strong, close, appearance of Mars, while the small 'fist' at left should represent the preceding season. In the summary at rima aueue it has already been stated that Gb5-5 is a dark day: ... In the text of G rima aueue signs show us where the 360-day solar year begins and ends:
472 (the total number of glyphs in the G text - with Gb8-30 counted twice) is equal to 300 (the number of days with sun 'present') + 30 (Gb8-30--Ga1-29) + 30 (Gb4-10--Gb5-6) + 112. Rima aueue signs end the two 30-day months where sun has not yet arrived, respectively has left ... |
