4. In Ga1-26 the head of the new ruler seems to emerge:
This head presumably refers to Sun who will move upwards beyond winter solstice: ... the breadfruit originated from the sacrifice of the war god Ku. After deciding to live secretly among mortals as a farmer, Ku married and had children. He and his family lived happily until a famine seized their island. When he could no longer bear to watch his children suffer, Ku told his wife that he could deliver them from starvation, but to do so he would have to leave them. Reluctantly, she agreed, and at her word, Ku descended into the ground right where he had stood until only the top of his head was visible. His family waited around the spot he had last been, day and night watering it with their tears until suddenly a small green shoot appeared where Ku had stood. Quickly, the shoot grew into a tall and leafy tree that was laden with heavy breadfruits that Ku's family and neighbours gratefully ate, joyfully saved from starvation ... The head rises from the center of a viri sign, lying open to the sky:
Maybe the end of winter solstice is the cardinal point referred to at Ga1-26:
In Ga1-18 another variant of viri is also oriented horizontally but open downwards, suggesting a total darkness. We should remember the Egyptian sign for cloth in contrast to the high sky supported by pillars:   The empty eye-socket could be another sign of a total darkness. In Ga1-26, on the other hand, 'eyes' are drawn out in the open both at left and at right. Glyph number 236 is an inversion of Ga1-26 and probably indicates the last day of Sun rule:
471 - 210 = 261 = 9 * 29 likewise probably indicates the season when Sun is absent.
The text is 471 + 1 = 472 glyphs long and 'one more' (than 471) is necessary in order to reach 2 * 236:
The 'rule of Sun' does not appear until 26 'dormant days' have passed. 236 - 26 = 210. Furthermore, we should let Saturn light the new fire:
