The Mouth of the Twins (Sha-pu-u-mash-mashu) had a short duration of only 3 days it seems:
This may once upon a time have been where winter ended and 'Land' was reached, i.e. spring had arrived. In myth the spring 'fire' was stolen from the powers above:
... All was now ready for departure except that there was no fire in the smithy. The ancestor slipped into the workshop of the great Nummo, who are Heaven's smiths, and stole a piece of the sun in the form of live embers and white-hot iron. He seized it by means of a 'robber's stick' the crook of which ended in a slit, open like a mouth. He dropped some of the embers, came back to pick them up, and fled towards the granary; but his agitation was such that he could no longer find the entrances. He made the round of it several times before he found the steps and climbed onto the flat roof, where he hid the stolen goods in one of the skins of the bellows, exclaiming: 'Gouyo!', which is to say. 'Stolen!'. The word is still part of the language, and means 'granary'. It is a reminder that without the fire of the smithy and the iron of hoes there would be no crops to store ...
... During his descent the ancestor still possessed the quality of a water spirit, and his body, though preserving its human appearance, owing to its being that of a regenerated man, was equipped with four flexible limbs like serpents after the pattern of the arms of the Great Nummo. The ground was rapidly approaching. The ancestor was still standing, his arms in front of him and the hammer and anvil hanging across his limbs. The shock of his final impact on the earth when he came to the end of the rainbow, scattered in a cloud of dust the animals, vegetables and men disposed on the steps. When calm was restored, the smith was still on the roof, standing erect facing towards the north, his tools still in the same position. But in the shock of landing the hammer and the anvil had broken his arms and legs at the level of elbows and knees, which he did not have before. He thus acquired the joints proper to the new human form, which was to spread over the earth and to devote itself to toil ... Reaching 'terra firma' meant an abrupt change and fins would no longer be of any use. Instead legs with knees and arms with elbows were necessary, the latter in order to do the hard work of for instance moving stones.
The arms and legs of Merope were not of this type, they were more flexible it seems. The ship of the Sun suddenly went aground at the end of the rainbow and all animals, plants, and men onboard were scattered around.
Here (Ga2-1) Land could have reappeared because Canopus drank up all the waters:
