I made a mistake earlier when I thought there were once 8 ariga erua glyphs in Q. From the drawings of glyph line Qb6 in Barthel it is obvious that a 15-glyph long sequence in H (16-glyph long in P) has no corresponding parallel in Q. Therefore there cannot be any parallel manu rere + ariga erua in Q, where we have Hb4-3 and Pb6-1:
The link 'comparing with the parallel H and P texts' leads to:
The manu rere combined with ariga erua 'person' in P has no eye-hole, which is remarkable - otherwise manu rere in P always tend to have eye-holes. The absence of an eye-hole is obviously a sign (in P). Also the beak in Pa6-1 is strange. Both these signs ought to be studied systematically. Sometime. Next page:
The slender form of honu vae kore in Gb5-117 maybe can be explained by an allusion to Qb5-113, where the head of a rising fish is spreading out flames as if it was the sun:
Beyond honu the fish has amalgamated with the sun, and the sun disc is very little. The 'fish' in Qb5-113 maybe has been inverted to become honu in Qb5-117, that would explain why his body is slender. Of course, at winter solstice food is scarce and that could also be of importance. Studying the differences between the two 'suns' we can see that the 'front' (right) flames have grown in Qb5-118, while the two flames at left are the same. The short horizontal line in Qb5-113, which separated the two flames in front have disappeared in Qb5-118. Maybe Qb5-113 is a development from Qb5-105, but the tail in Qb5-105 is of the 'white-fat-moon' type:

The mago has a fat body, and the same goes for mago in Qb5-122, yet they are different:
The tail is very big in Qb5-122, but very small in Gb5-124. Such signs we must notice. We can guess that after 'the tail of the mago season' (the last part of it) there will no longer be any eyes on ariga erua. The sun has once again aquired a little horizontal line at right, and the fish part has gone, maybe it was the moon:
The flames are now great and the sun disc is growing. |
