The time/place is beside
the 2nd root of the world
tree: "Beside the second
root, which penetrated the
land of giants, covered with
frost and ice, flowed the
fountain of Mimir, in which
all wisdom dwelt and from
which Odin himself desired
to drink even though the
price demanded for a few
draughts was the loss of an
eye." (Larousse)
This is also the well (GD16) where Hylas was lost. In Hb4-6:
the character in the middle holds henua in his left (dark) hand, and it is bent towards him, which ought to mean that the Pleiades are visible, i.e. the time/place is 'summer'. It seems that the well (if that really is the subject matter) is located at new year; reasonable as the well is in a 'land of frost'. The 2nd root of the world tree, should be 'winter' (i.e. the 2nd 'year'). Consequently: new year, on one side 'winter' on the other 'summer'. Noteworthy is the fact that Hb1-1 is this glyph:
Does 'summer' start there? That is possible if there are more than one calendar of the year in these three parallel texts.
