Saturn surely must be represented by the next pair of glyphs:
What is his role? He is the one who 'delivers' the 'great fire' in the sky. He is the 'midwife', who secures the birth of 'One Eye' (mata etahi). The left part of Eb7-16 I once upon a time identified as a kava sign. The head of manu rere in Eb7-15 is a maitaki sign:
If Spring Sun has 3 subdivisions of time, then the 3 'balls' in maitaki could refer to them. The first of them should be 'delivered' by Saturn. The vertical straight line could then be there in order to explain that only half his time Sun is present. The back side (left in the glyph) will then represent the equally long time spent with his winter maid. |
