5. The 'rear edge of the Crab's shell' at Ga2-29 does not imply that Al Tarf is beyond the shell, because the Crab is facing the Lion. Instead we have at Ga2-29 'climbed up on' the rear part of the Crab, where she is beginning:
Allen: "ξ [at Ga3-15], another [ín addition to μ, Heap of Fuel at Ga2-28] 5½-magnitude, with λ Leonis, formed the seventh manzil Al Tarf, the End, or as some translate it, the Glance, i.e. of the Lion's Eye, the ancient Asad, which occupied so large a portion of the sky in this neighborhood. They also were the Persian Nahn, the Nose, and the Coptic Piautos, the Eye, both lunar asterisms." My imagination says it is the eye of Old Sun who should ignite the Bright Fire. Yet it cannot be denied that 125 = 5 * 25 is a number sign for Saturn igniting the new fire. Saturn is the last garment of Sun. Anciently at midsummer the 'Glance' of the Lion's Eye reached down into the interior chamber of Earth: ... Then I become aware of ... a presence - a faint, ghostly glimmering, like moonglow, that has appeared on the solstice stone. I don't know how long it lasts, a second or two only I would guess, but while it is there it seems less like a projection - which I know it to be - than something immanent within the stone itself. And it seems to function as a herald for it fades almost as soon as it has appeared and in its place the full effect snaps on - instantaneously. It wasn't there, and then it's there ... The glyph type is manu kake, the climbing 'bird'. Maybe I have misunderstood Metoro, when I thought he meant Sun is beginning to climb higher into the sky, working his way up to midsummer. Maybe he instead meant Sun was climbing up onto the back side of the 'earth turtle' to impregnate her. The 29th night (at the preceding Tegmine) could allude to the dark night of Moon, when she is rejuvenated because Sun is on her back side. At Vaiora I have written:
From this perspective regarded we can imagine the glyph at Bright Fire (λ Cancri) is illustrating someone looking down on a little one who has just been 'ignited' (received his living spirit). But the choice of the letter λ (similar to our modern outline of the Cancer constellation) could indicate the new one is still inside, not out in the open, not yet has been 'born'. The similarities between Gb2-29 and Ga3-2 are striking. Not until Friday (at Ga3-3) can the 'birth' be expected. The basic type of glyph is moa and this is the summary page in my preliminary dictionary:
