7. The jaw of the Bull (in Taurus) should not, I think, be thought of as a desiccated old bone because he is not an equine and he is fully alive. The sacred old jawbone is a winter object, not a spring object.
 
Instead of 8 + 12 = 20 dots (for Moon) there should be a single great hole for Sun at the 'hinge' of the bull's jaw. Perhaps the Bull's Eye (Ain) represents this great hole.

The hinge of a door is what enables it to swing open. Maybe the puo glyph type is a sign which says the 'holes of water' ruled by Saturn are closed ('hilled up').

475 = 25 (Saturn) * 19 (Sun), but in Saturday these holes are open:

Hb9-51 Hb9-52 Hb9-53 Hb9-54 Hb9-55
Hb9-56 Hb9-57 Hb9-58

95 * 5 = 475 = 19 * 25.
