1. Tonsil, gill (of fish). 2. Red (probably because it is the colour of gills); light red, rose; also meamea. 3. To grow or to exist in abundance in a place or around a place: ku-mea-á te maîka, bananas grow in abundance (in this place); ku-mea-á te ka, there is plenty of fish (in a stretch of the coast or the sea); ku-mea-á te tai, the tide is low and the sea completely calm (good for fishing); mau mea, abundance.

Therefore Mars should have a more rusty colour than the colour of dawn.

For practical reasons, though, it became violet (purple, hurihuri).

For Moon I have chosen blue instead of white, which for practical reason was impossible.

The remaining planets are Mercury and Jupiter. For Mercury the colour ought to be silver, but this was not easy to see either. The father of light (Jupiter) maybe should be coloured like wood (where fire lodges). But in the end I decided to use blue of the same shade as that for Moon for Mercury and Jupiter too.

Next problem is how to connect the planets with numbers, and I solved it the easy way by using the order of the week, beginning with Sun-day. Although it may be argued that the week of work is beginning with Monday and the day of rest is Sunday the order of the 'calendar for the week' in the H and P texts is in harmony with my idea of Sun at the beginning.

The following is a collage of the 42 glyphs in the calendar of the week according to H:

Sunday	1	42
¯	2	41
	3	40
	4	39
	5	38
Monday	6	37
	7	36
	8	35	Saturday
	9	34
	10	33
	11	32	Friday
	12	31
	13	30
Tuesday	4	29
	15	28
	16	27
Wednesday	17	26
	18	25
	19	24
	20	23	Thursday
	21	22

Yet, number 5 was so clearly associated with 'fire' and 'fingers' that there had to be 4 planets before Sun would appear. If the week is beginning with Sun-day then the number of this day must be 5:

1	2	3	4	5	6	7
8	9	10	11	12	13	14
15	16	17	18	19	20	21
22	23	24	25	26	27	28

The weeks roll on beyond day 28 and I think my colour scheme should do so too.

Sun is at the top of the pyramid and its 4 corners are needed to support him.

The idea to have 4 before the emergence of the 'Fire' may have originated from the structure with 50 weeks in a year which anciently was used in Rome:

... Thus the regular old Roman year ended with Februarius 23 and it was 350 nights long, 25 fortnights. Then followed 5 extra nights, or as the Romans saw it 5 + 1 = 6 nights in order to include March 1, the first day of the new regular year ...

350 nights did not reach 12 * 29½ = 354 and the difference had to belong in the next year.
