16-2. If the intention of the creator of the E text was to indicate the beginning of 'close embrace' at Eb5-35, then the missing central part of glyph Eb6-1 would make sense, because it could illustrate a timespace where the ruler was invisible:

... The king, wearing now a short, stiff archaic mantle, walks in a grave and stately manner to the sanctuary of the wolf-god Upwaut, the 'Opener of the Way', where he anoints the sacred standard and, preceded by this, marches to the palace chapel, into which he disappears. A period of time elapses during which the pharaoh is no longer manifest ...

...Possibly Eb5-35 was designed to visualize how the Sun at the horizon would be seen reflected as in a mirror by the surface of the water. We can compare with Ba7-12:

... It is known that in the final battle of the gods, the massed legions on the side of 'order' are the dead warriors, the 'Einherier' who once fell in combat on earth and who have been transferred by the Valkyries to reside with Odin in Valhalla - a theme much rehearsed in heroic poetry. On the last day, they issue forth to battle in martial array. Says Grimnismal (23): 'Five hundred gates and forty more - are in the mighty building of Walhalla - eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate - on the time they go out on defence against the Wolf.' That makes 432,000 in all, a number of significance from of old. This number must have had a very ancient meaning, for it is also the number of syllables in the Rigveda. But it goes back to the basic figure 10,800, the number of stanzas in the Rigveda (40 syllables to a stanza) [40 * 270 = 10800] which, together with 108, occurs insistently in Indian tradition, 10,800 is also the number which has been given by Heraclitus for the duration of the Aiōn, according to Censorinus (De die natali, 18), whereas Berossos made the Babylonian Great Year to last 432,000 years. Again, 10,800 is the number of bricks of the Indian fire-altar (Agnicayana) ...

After 50 + 14 = 64 right ascension days' absence the ruler was due to return where there was an opening (te vaha) for him, which could be visualized by the same type of glyph as that for Aldebaran (Ana-muri, the Rear pillar at the foot of which was the place for tattooing) on side a of the G tablet.
