Arranged according to the rule of planets Moon will define an end at Aa3-20. Then a new sequence is commencing with Mercury in position 196, or in position 196 + 54 = 250 if we count from manu rere in Ab8-31, or in position 196 + 64 = 260 if we count from Ab8-11:
Mars appears only in Aa3-14 (π) and Aa3-27 (where 3 * 27 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3). 8 * 26 = 208 is the position of Rei in Aa3-33. Saturn at Aa3-18 (where 3 * 18 = 54 will remind us of the 54 last glyphs on side b) is described by manu rere holding a vaero sign in front. This vaero is on closer inspection found to have a puo sign:
Light is hidden. The preceding moa glyph (192) perhaps is saying that Moon is on her way to take over (in form of her 'Venus garment'):
The body is formed like a reversed S and the 'tail' like a moon crescent, possibly representing the old month. Venus then returns in Aa3-23 at position 2 * 99:
Counting from manu rere in Ab8-31 hetuu is in day number (54 + 198) / 2 = 126. In day number 128 (= 2 * 64) the rising kahi (Aa3-27) is fat. A 'square' of 'growth' (4 * 32 = 128 days) results in a fat fish. 101 - 8 = 93 days and with 27 (= 9 * 3) added it becomes 120:
It is not yet midsummer. If we compare with G we can count 120 - 64 = 56 glyphs (days) from Gb8-30 and find Ga2-25. Manu kake comes 5 positions later as the first glyph in line a3 and is the 120th day beyond Tama (Gb7-2, where 7 * 2 = 14 alludes to 413 / 29.5):
The reversed S (like a flame) in moa (Ga3-3) corresponds to the reversed S of the moa in Aa3-17 (and both are days of Venus). The curious rising 'fish' in Ga3-4 corresponds to Aa3-18:
192 / 2 = 96 and 63 + 33 = 96. Three (toru) is a sign connected with the appearance of 'the bird with 2 faces' (te manu aringa erua). Manu kake in Aa3-10 appears to be standing on the threshold to the 2nd phase of the year, the season which in G is represented by a calendar with kiore+henua glyphs. The vaero glyphs in glyph line Aa3 could represent 'land which is being uplifted from the sea like fishes'. Spring equinox lies in Pisces. The celestial 'land' ought to be the halfyear from spring equinox to autumn equinox. I guess the Rat (kiore) is treading on Land (henua) in summer, first of all during a period of 36 days:
Another kind of vaero is seen in Ga4-18 (where 4 * 18 = 2 * 36). On land there are poultry rather than fishes and I guess it is a tail feather (vaero). Instead of land being 'fished up' the tail of the bird has been devoured by a fish (Ga4-21). |
