Clearly there are three subdivisions in 2a2, and I label them a, b and c. But I guess that the last glyph in c really is some sort of end glyph, a summing up perhaps not belonging to c.

2a2a and 2a2b start with a 'sunny' person eating, presumably meaning sun increasing. Not so in 2a2c. Does this mean that we have three aspects, the first two relating to the sun and the third to the moon? The 'sunny' person is though there in 2a2c, not in the beginning but sitting down at the end, now leaving the stage (hand outwards). Is the sun in the underworld?

In 2a2a we have two henua, in 2a2b one henua and in 2a2c no henua. Instead of henua we there have the kind of 'staff' used in the moon calendar of Keiti.

And there are no people in 2a2a, one person in 2a2b and two persons in 2a2c. I mean 'real people', I presume, those with two ears with sunplugs in them.

2a2a could mean the domain of the sun, i.e. the sky, and then 2a2b and 2a2c would lead us down to earth. Half of our time sun is up (2a2b) and the other half sun is down (2a2c). The man with earplugs might be the king of the underworld.

In Q we have a royal bird, I believe. Q has kings in ragi and in ao. Not as in the week in H and P where there are three kings, one in the underworld (Saturn) too. That agrees we my preliminary interpretation of 2a2c as our world in the night, not the underworld. But then the man with earplugs presumably is the earthly king (Jupiter), even he must spend half of his time in darkness (like the sun whom he endeavours to emulate).
