6. Thus ua should be a sign for autumn equinox, when the 'eating' has turned into 'giving back'. If Sun in spring is 'consuming' water from 'the shallow pools' then he should return it in form of rain in autumn:
Hipu in Eb7-2 is probably filled with 'water' and ua in Eb6-34 is probably a sign of falling rain. Ua became my name for this glyph type because Metoro often said ua at this type of glyph. But occasionally he said so also at other types of glyphs, for instance at Eb8-18, where he seems to have regarded the back side of the hand as a sign of ua:
Therefore we conclude that Metoro probably associated the back side of a hand with the glyph type ua. |
