TRANSLATIONS
In Q the same type of twin bent fishes, one with a 'cut mark' across its throat, are found in the parallel passage. However, they come in the opposite order:
Q is out of phase with H. Many signs say so. Glyph number 624 (= 24 * 26) at Ha11-56 is a tara, a sign which probably stands for winter solstice if there are no extra signs added. But here one obvious sign is how the 'gap' is oriented upwards, a sign which we can read as full moon time. In Q the orientation is in harmony with the preceding bent fish, which we can guess refers to waning moon. 2 * 39 = 6 * 13, which suggest half the way to 12 * 13 (= 624 / 4). The maitaki sign in Ha11-59 is more powerful at left, the one in Qb2-42 at right. 11 * 59 seems to indicate the birth of a new double-month, a single baby maitaki riding in a canoe. eleven ... ONE + *lif- (appearing also in TWELVE), quasi 'one left (over ten)' ... (English Etymology) In Qb2-42 a single maitaki sign is raised up like a sail in a boat at left (in the past), and instead mea ke (maximum of darkness) is in front. The sail identifies the single maitaki sign as the sun (Raá), and at Qb2-42 he has gone away, while in Ha11-59 he is arriving as a newborn child. A solution to the dilemma of 'out of phase' can be suggested, viz. that Q tells about a bent sun fish (turning around at winter solstice). Instead of 4 + 4 maro strings Q has a single string with 3 feathers. And we should recognize the curious sign at the top in Qb2-46 from the sign at summer solstice in A:
The season which arrives at Aa6-67 is over in Qb2-46. In Ha11-59 there are two separate entities, mother (bottom) and child (top). Moon respectively sun. In Qb2-42 there is a more complex situation, with what looks like a fist pushing upwards as if to be free. Next page:
