We have seen this shape before, in the calendar of the week. I guess this is a picture of a fire soon to be ignited. In the 8th period of the month - perhaps corresponding to the 7th period of Mamari - we are in between the old and the new month. Only buds showing as yet. The middle section seems to be like a dry old bone. There is a slight resemblance with Ea1-25, as both glyphs have three parts and are symmetrical with one central part and two flanking parts mirroring each other. But the uplifted 'hands' in Ea1-25 are presumable not real branches, as perhaps we might have here in Ea3-25. Instead, following Metoro, we can see the 'uplifted hands' as a kind of toki:
Also, considering my earlier calculations to fit the 'map' of Keiti with that of Mamari, the 'uplifted hands' should be equivalent to toki adzes, and that's also what Metoro pointed out. |
