Let us begin by recollecting that we have found (when discussing koti)
a mago glyph not far in front of the inverted maro
(Cb11-18):
 |
 |
63 + 234 |
 |
|
Cb12-10 (1) |
Cb12-11 |
Ca9-9 (300)
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Gb6-25 (1) |
Gb6-26 |
Gb1-6 (300) |
... Mago
at Cb12-10 has a variant of koti at
its front (top right), which explains why
mea ke is distorted. The 'tail' of
mago is a mixture involving mea ke,
koti and the 'fist held high' ...
|
We can guess that 63 is the reverse of 36, and if such is
the case, then the sign is (according to our experience from
G and H) used to mark the beginning of a new time at winter
solstice. Furthermore, mea ke is associated with
winter solstice.

The
peculiar rising fish (Cb11-17) has a sign which basically is
like an inverted henua ora:
|
|
 |
|
Cb11-17 |
henua
ora |
The
inversion makes it into its opposite, changing it from an end
station to a station for beginning. This has been
explained at poporo:
|
... The poporo glyph type
indicates a time of darkness, and at
the same time says a 'seed of light'
has been 'planted', which gives hope
of a coming lighter season.
The 'seed' is the 'head' of the
previous light season. The vertical
straight 'stem' is the same sign as
in the center of henua ora,
though inverted, which means it is
the opposite: a station of 'birth':
The ika glyph type with a
poporo sign (kahi)
carries both meanings, both a
'rising fish' and 'birth' ...
|
By multiplying 6 * 61 (as in the ordinal number 661
for Cb11-17) we will reach 366.
|
From the rising fish to the end of
side b there are 17 + 63 = 80
glyphs:

The nut having being
swallowed (at left) in Cb11-18 is in
Cb12-11 no longer there. Presumably
it has been released (in form of a
new life).
Koti at top
right in Cb12-10 is followed by a
tagata which has ordinal number
1 of those 64 glyphs at the end of
side b. The left arm of tagata
has a marama sign. The time
of moon is in the past (and sun has
been reborn).
A 'spike' - not a
feather - is at bottom of the
hanging down maro at left. We
find another such at the top of the
last glyph on side b. Together they
evidently measure out 64 days.
The vaha kai
sign is still there, even more
clearly drawn than in Cb11-18. The
form of the arm at left in Cb12-11
has an undulation.
The horizontal gap (division) which
is central in Cb11-18 is followed a
fortnight later by a vertical gap (koti).
If we twist around the inverted maro
part in Cb11-18, it will be a sign
which has many great feathers at
right (of the 'midnight henua'):

Although
Cb12-11 is the first of 64 glyphs at the end of side b,
there is no visual impression of Rogo. Maybe it
means that winter solstice is at some other point of the
text. Or
maybe it means the theme is moon, not sun.
