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:
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):
