I think that was a suitable end page of the excursion from mea ke. Here, however, more must be investigated before we can continue with toa. First, before we forget it, the resemblances between Gb5-2--3 (or, as I wrote in the glyph dictionary: Gb5-3--2 to make the reader focus on order) and Ga7-24--25:
Gb5-2--3 are located immediately following the obvious break defined by the reversed hau tea at the beginning of line b5 and at Gb5-4 a mauga glyph marks an end. Reading pairwise, mauga and the strange tagata in Gb5-5 should also form such a pair. Hatinga Te Kohe at 12 * 29.5 = 354 should be the last glyph of line b4 (because we must count from Gb8-30 in order to reach e.g. 360 at Gb5-6 (where 5 * 6 = 30 = 360 / 12). But maybe Gb4-33 is the 1st glyph of Hatinga Te Kohe. Breaks occur at Gb5-6, at Gb5-10, and at Gb5-12. If so, then Gb5-2--3 should related to events connected with breaking. 'Breaking the nut' implies the death of the old one and the birth of the new one:
The new one clearly is at right in Gb5-3. Hua in the center of the glyph has 4 'fethers' at left and 3 at right - the same pattern as on ika hiku (Ga7-27):
There are 6 + 6 = 12 'feathers' at right in Gb5-2 and at left in Ga7-25. The reversed order could be a consequence of the reversed order determined by the little hanging one, which comes after Gb5-2, but before Ga7-25:
388 is counted from Gb8-30 with each glyph equal to 2, while 356 is counted from Gb8-30 with each glyph equal to 1. In both cases the little hanging one is in front. Future lies ahead. But moon goes withershins also south of the equator, and it should therefore not surprise us to find the 'fruit' at left in the Mamari moon calendar:
The 'moon fruit' has 3 + 3 = 6 'feathers', while ika hiku (Ga7-27) and the 'sun fruit' in Gb5-3 has 4 + 3 = 7. Maybe because it is the 'night' which brings the 'day', while both waxing and waning moon depends on the sun. Also haś comes in reversed order, following the new one instead of coming before. The reversed order implies that Ca7-16 corresponds to a Rei glyph. 16 corresponds to 22 (i.e. π). While Rei can be read as a boat resting on waxing and waining moon crescents, in Ca7-16 the boat rests on the sun. The light of moon depends on the sun, the new sun child depends on the moon. The break in time occurs at Ca7-24, which we should read backwards - i.e. before the child comes. |
