A 'reversed' sign (not a reversed toga but what possibly could be a reversed ihe tau sign in toga) is also found in the 20th henua period in Keiti:

20
	Eb5-14	Eb5-15	Eb5-16	Eb5-17

Here there is no 'dry Y' toga sign but a 'living' (though empty-handed) arm. The fingers maybe are alluding to the upper half of the following ua sign, I think.

Number 20 for the period suggests the end of the sun season. But a 'reversed' ihe tau and the absence of the normal Y-sign - together with a possible allusion to the following ua glyph - are signs which do not indicate a dry old body upon a wooden platform. It cannot be dry if rain is pouring down.

Tagata at Eb5-14 suggests that Mars - in his 2nd weak 'face' - has ended. In Eb5-15 toga could illustrate by way of the empty hand the empty state of light which ought to be associated with Mercury.

Maybe Jupiter at ua shows how Sun's 'life force' is running away, viz. that his body fluid (the rain) is leaving him. Then he will be a dry corpse ready for the wooden platform.

We need to examine the glyphs closer. We will do it by way of a few added pages.

If we use as a model counting only to 20 in a glyph line (following the Gilbertese who counted only to 20 nights in a month), and if we then continue with 1 once again instead of 21 etc, my colours for the planets will indicate that Mercury and Jupiter at Eb5-15 respectively Eb5-16 'regroups' into Eb5-21 respectively Eb5-22:

20
	Eb5-14	Eb5-15	Eb5-16	Eb5-17
21
	Eb5-18	Eb5-19	Eb5-20
22
	Eb5-21 (1)	Eb5-22 (2)	Eb5-23 (3)	Eb5-24 (4)

One set of fingers followed by two sets (Eb5-15--16) changes into two sets of 'fingers' followed by one set (Eb5-21--22) - there may be a connection between the fingers on a hand, the 'fingers' of ua, and the 'tail feathers' of this moa.

The moa crying out (Jupiter) is followed by Venus where the night sky (ragi) is rising high above a sun in a low position.

Alternatively we can read the 'regrouping' as a development from one empty Mercury hand (Eb5-15) to two empty Mercury hands (Eb5-21). And his toes pointing upwards perhaps will change direction to become the tail feathers of the moa.

A consequence of only counting to 20 for the ordinal numbers of a glyph in a line is that Mars will have only 2 days (7 and 14). 7 could then refer to the strong waxing season of spring and 14 to the waning season. At top right in Eb5-14 there is a sign of waning moon.

Mars is the only planet which in this model will have 2 days only, the other 6 planets will have 3 each.

Next we can try with assigning ordinal numbers counted from Ea1-1:

20
	Eb5-14 (489)	Eb5-15	Eb5-16	Eb5-17
21
	Eb5-18	Eb5-19	Eb5-20
22
	Eb5-21	Eb5-22	Eb5-23	Eb5-24 (499)

490 at toga is equal to 49 * (5 + 5). A square of Mars (7 * 7 = 49) seems to have reached to its end, which ought to mean there is a need for a new such 'fire' (or rather shadow of a 'fire' because Mars like the moon is only reflecting the light from the sun).

Toga at Eb5-15 is located just beyond this end of 'fire'. 499 at Eb5-24 is similarly the 500th unit of time (whatever it might be), not the 499th. Time counts only when the unit for measuring has reached its end, like when you turn the hour-glass around.

Mercury at toga is therefore at a position of 'limbo' ('zero') - the old period has ended but the new one has not yet begun to be counted. Moreover - not even when ua arrives in the following glyph can there be a new 'light'. Rain will not allow it.

So only with Venus at Eb5-17 will sun light have a chance to return. We should notice the similarity with the first glyphs in K:

Ka1-1	Ka1-2	Ka1-3	Ka1-4	Ka1-5	Ka1-6

In Ka1-5 (a Sun day) light has begun to grow (eat, kai). We recognize a play with fingers, here in a constellation which is reversed compared to that in Eb5-21.

If we count from Eb1-1, we will have 6 * 29 = 174 instead of 500, side a has 326 glyphs. And toga will be number 490 - 326 = 164, with Venus at Eb5-17 as day number 166.

If we count from the beginning of the henua calendar (from Eb1-37) we must reduce with a further 36 days. 174 - 36 = 138, 164 - 36 = 128, and 166 - 36 = 130. Toga will now be twice 64 = half 256, which hardly is a coincidence. For instance can we find glyph number 256 at the end of line 7 on side a designed with another constellation of sun and sky (cfr Eb5-23):

Ea7-36	Ea7-37	Ea7-38	Ea7-39 (256)

Maybe 7 * 39 = 3 * 91 here alludes to the end of 3 quarters of sun light. 498 (Eb5-23) - 256 (Ea7-39) = 242 = the number of glyphs on side b of G.

 

Our excursion to Keiti now leads us back to where it all began - to Aruku Kurenga where sun is 'falling' (topa according to Metoro):

Bb8-37	Bb8-38	Bb8-39
Bb8-40	Bb8-41	Bb8-42

The toga glyph (Bb8-42) is preceded (in the interval between -36 and -42) first by two sun glyphs flanking a central ua. These two suns are drawn in a way which is nearly identical with the sun at left in Ea7-39:

Ea7-36	Ea7-37	Ea7-38	Ea7-39 (256)

The flame at center bottom is in both places formed like an inverted apex. But the circular sun disc in Ea7-39 should be contrasted with the sagging oval form in Bb8-37 and Bb8-39.

8 * 38 (in Bb8-38) = 16 * 19 = 304. If we regard -39 as 19 more than 20, we may have an allusion to Sun. 256 = 4 * 64 at Ea7-39 could also allude to Sun (as well as Bb8-39, of course).

If Sun is 'falling' (topa) in Aruku Kurenga, then he seems to have fallen also according to Keiti (242 days beoynd Ea7-39, viz. at Eb5-23):

22
	Eb5-21 (1)	Eb5-22 (2)	Eb5-23 (3)	Eb5-24 (4)

To be true to the Keiti text we must, though, also show the glyphs which follow beyond Ea7-39.

Beyond the 'Sun' day at the end of line a7 the beginning of the following (upside down of course) line a8 is quite interesting. First comes a repetition of the end of line a7:

Ea7-34	Ea7-35
Ea7-36	Ea7-37	Ea7-38	Ea7-39 (256)
Ea8-1	Ea8-2	Ea8-3	Ea8-4 (260)	*Ea8-5	*Ea8-6
*Ea8-7	*Ea8-8

Then follows 4 only partially visible glyphs (as if the light source has begun to sink below the horizon in the west). In their center (between Ea8-4 and *Ea8-5) there is a wormhole in the tablet, which motivates my asterisks at the following glyph labels in line a8.

This wormhole has a significant location - it is immediately beyond glyph number 260. Counting time, though, means day number 260 is a zero day. Light disappears already during the 259th day (Ea8-3).

Anyhow, Sun seems to be crawling down through this wormhole at the end of his 'daytime' journey. He goes into limbo.
