The rising 'string' with maro
'feathers' at the end of line Ga5 changes into its opposite at the beginning of the next
glyph line, where the maro string hangs down
as if it was lifeless or drenched in water:

It is possible to perceive, by
arranging 4 vaha mea glyphs
together and then counting, how half a year
beyond October 16 (289) when the First Point of
Aries was close to the Full Moon, its heliacal
position at April 17 (107) would be equal to day 289 +
183 = 472:

The glyph number at Gb7-25 would
then be 145 + 290 = 435 (= 15 * 29), with 290 corresponding
to 183 + 107. In a similar manner, by counting from heliacal Wezen
(July 6, 187) and 183 days ahead we would arrive
at day 370 (January 5) = 290 (October 17) + 80.
We can see a sign of 2 different
'worlds' in the back-to-back sitting persons in
Ga6-9--10, where the first reversed one perhaps could
represent (with his canoe) the leaving season of
'sea' and the other forward looking one the
arriving season
with plenty of food (from 'land' rising up again,
revealing its rich mud flats). At the time of
Wezen the change was due in *JANUARY 5:
