If Saturn in Ca2-11 is the one who lights the 'first fire' (down in the 'water') then Sun in Ca12-12 should be at the other end of time, he should be the one who 'covers the fire with earth' (as when food should be cooked in the umu oven):
The upraised and prolonged arm shows no added crescent signs, light cannot be seen. At Ca12-12 Metoro said kua ere te tagata - te hetu. The word ere seems to be a word play involving rere - while rere is expressing the essence of life, viz. quick movement, ere means the opposite - down in the earth nothing moves. Maybe that is the reason why they bury people after their death, to make sure they will not come back (in that form at least). Ca12-12 is the 4th glyph in a structure with 6 vae glyphs, the first of which is at Ca12-9 (Mercury):
As has been described at vae this glyph type probably is associated with Sun leaving the stage. There are 290 glyphs from Ca2-12 to Ca12-12:
290 has presumably been chosen instead of 295 (10 lunar months) in order to allude to a state of invisibility (in the 29th night of the Moon she is not visible). |
