Ca12-16	Ca12-17	Ca12-18	Ca12-19	Ca12-20	Ca12-21	Ca12-22
Ca12-23	Ca12-24	Ca12-25	Ca12-26	Ca12-27

12 * 16 = 192 is half 384, and beyond that point Sun has disappeared.

In Ca12-23 tapa mea has been turned 'face down'. To the right in Ca12-22 we can see a moon (marama) at right, but it is not a waxing moon but a waning moon crescent (south of the equator). It does not tell of how Moon is reborn but of how Sun is waning.

The glyphs seem to support my suggestion that vaha kai in Ca12-17 denotes the 'swallowing mouth' (instead of the 'mouth of birth'). But Venus at Ca12-17 should indicate the birth of a new season. The birth of a new season is defined by the 'death' of the preceding season.

Tagata rere in Ca12-12 (where 12 * 12 = 144) shows a state of pregnancy (or the state of having eaten enough):

 

If we now consult the summary at tagata rere, we will find Ca12-12 described to be located at the end of waning sun:

waxing sun
36		139		33
	Ca2-11 (100)		Ca7-9 (240)
6 * 29.5 = 177
210 = 14 * 15

waning sun				waxing sun
	116				62
Ca8-12		Ca12-12	Ca12-13	Ca12-14 (1)
118 = 4 * 29.5				63
182 = 13 * 14

Waxing sun should begin at winter solstice, in which case 63 should be the number to the front side. Mars is at Ca12-14 and 12 * 14 = 168. The new year should begin before the old year has disappeared. Otherwise there would be an interregnum. Therefore vaha kai, the devourer, should come beyond Mars:

Kai is the sign also in Ca12-20, where 12 * 20 = 240. This number suggests the end of high summer, not the end of waning sun. If side a describes the front side, it cannot describe the waning sun. Such a thing cannot be, because when sun has used up his 10 months he will vanish, disappear under the waves.

12 * 17 = 204 and half 17 * 24 = 408. And 12 * 18 is half 12 * 36.

12 * 22 = 264 is 364 - 100.

I think we can conclude that vaha kai at Ca12-17 is located at the end of waxing sun. The fat person going head down in Ca12-19 is the Sun by force of the red colour and it should be when he has had enough. 335 + 63 = 398 and at Ca12-21 (where 21 is the reversal of 12) number 400 is reached. This should then be divided by 2 in order to reach 200.

But we can alternatively divide by 2 and then add 63:

Day 230 is according to G the last day of the front side. Split vision seems to be needed.

I will not try to describe this complicated situation in the glyph dictionary. I have said Ca12-12 is the end of waning sun and it may be wrong. But it could be right. I must be certain before I change anything written in the glyph dictionary.

One way which could lead to an acceptance of tagata rere in Ca12-12 as denoting the end of waning sun is to read a structure which decreases step by step from a state of 5 beginning with Sunday in Ca12-5:
