Let us begin with Ya1-1. The glyph has a triplet of 'balls' with feather signs at their backs (in the past).
This can be contrasted with a feather in front but inside (not yet present) in the rising fishes, primarily Gb5-14--16, beyond the end of the old year according to G:
The signs are reversed in Y. Not only is vaha kai reversed and the feather signs outside and at the back, but the manu kake beak is up front (in Yb3-1) and can be seen as the opposite of the 'tail' in Gb5-9. The small kai hand in Ya1-2 is in the element at left, while the great empty hand in Gb5-17 is in the element at the front. The 3 rising - but yet not shining - fishes are arranged horizontally, while the 3 - no longer shining - balls in Ya1-1 are arranged vertically. |
