Evidence suggests the 16 glyphs from number 77 (Ga4-1) could be referring to the end and new beginning of a cycle dictated by Moon:
The pair of moko glyphs would then be a pair because Moon has 2 faces. There are 2 'Janus hau tea' glyphs, there are 2 rau hei (excluding the composition in Ca4-4), and there are 2 ihe tau (excluding the composition in Ca4-5). Beyond these 20 glyphs, which presumably are referring to Moon, there is also a single moko in a position which may represent winter solstice:
This single moko has Sun signs:
Not only is there a hint of a male member at bottom but we can also see that his mouth is open, as if in anticipation of spring ahead, the time of vaha mea. The location of these 3 moko glyphs early on the front side of side a can therefore be explained as due to the back side stretching its influence on to the first 4 glyph lines on side a. We can still think of moko as a sign belonging late in the cycles. |
