Water is necessary for the renewal of life, 'rain' is needeed. We have touched on this subject also in Keiti (Eb1-37). The suggestion of water is reinforced by variants of this glyph type having what looks like 'fish-tails'.

I think it is valid to infer from 'water' to 'renewal'. In the 'dark' mystical events take place, the clear light of the day does no longer rule. Love makes blind. We have support for this in periods nos. 25-26 of the calendar of the year in G / K:

25 312-324 26 325-337

The result of these mystical events - which are finished in period no. 25, that is evident from maro - is an egg, presumably a solar egg from which next year will be hatched. Some glyphs belonging to GD56 in fact seem to be laying their eggs themselves e.g. (Ab3-62):
