Let's then compare the four different
manifestations:
The 'little eye' in the center of the face of the Sun is found also in Pa5-32, whereas Ha5-49 and Qa5-40 instead seem to depict a kind of 'nut' (offspring, hua) integrated with a pair of 'dry limbs' stretching up, as if they were 'dead old branches'. ... In north Asia the common mode of reckoning is in half-year, which are not to be regarded as such but form each one separately the highest unit of time: our informants term them 'winter year' and 'summer year'. Among the Tunguses the former comprises 6½ months, the latter 5, but the year is said to have 13 months; in Kamchatka each contains six months, the winter year beginning in Novermber, the summer year in May; the Gilyaks on the other hand give five months to summer and seven to winter. The Yeneseisk Ostiaks reckon and name only the seven winter months, and not the summer months. This mode of reckoning seems to be a peculiarity of the far north: the Icelanders reckoned in misseri, half-years, not in whole years, and the rune-staves divide the year into a summer and a winter half, beginning on April 14 and October 14 respectively. But in Germany too, when it was desired to denote the whole year, the combined phrase 'winter and summer' was employed, or else equivalent concrete expressions such as 'in bareness and in leaf', 'in straw and in grass' ... Also, this kind of 'nut' has three 'wings', with the central (bottom) one oriented towards the right. Possibly a sign for moving forward? These pair of limbs stretching upwards are similar in Pa5-32 and Qa5-40. But in Ha5-49 they look like 'kava'.
