Let us complete the investigation of Ha6-42, referring to waxing sun and standing close to his end (317 / 3 + 100 = 205⅔ and 6 * 42 = 36 weeks). We should realize that by the moon we are halfway to 412, the last night before Tama.
Q returns to be in parallel with H and P from Ha6-38, the first part of day 205. One feather is at left and two at right, waxing is in the past, waning in front. In Ha6-41 a great new fist will give flames. It originates from a prominent henua with 'day' at bottom and 'night' at top. In Ha6-43 an open hand is a gesture of giving (a)way or of emptiness. The elbow ornament is a sign of tao, which could either be read as a finished cycle or as a canoe in which spring sun will leave. Ha6-45 is interesting, it might give us a clue for understanding the shape of tagata. At left is an arm shaped like henua and at right a wing as in manu rere. It could mean that from a state of physical presence (left) sun is moving on to absence because he is flying away:
Manu rere glyphs are not 'ghosts', they rather represent prominent figures who have moved away from us. Tagata is not only showing a fully grown person but also a person who will fly away. We could say that tagata glyphs represent 'birded men'. Their souls (which is the only living part after death) are not 'ghosts', not imaginary. 6 * 45 = 270 should refer to autumn equinox. And the ordinal number to 10 * 32, i.e. the last day of growing (multiplying). One sign alludes to autumn equinox, the other completes with information about how long sun will be with us, viz. 50 days beyond autumn equinox. Ha6-49 shows by way of the central hole that spring sun is finished, nothing left. 6 * 49 = 294, though, which should mean that Ha6-49 stands at the last day. 10 * 29.5 = 295. From a state of 5 (feathers at left) now 4 (as in the four fortnights of a double month) enters. 4 also signifies the last and dark quarter (of sun, moon, or whatever). Yet hope is there in form of an eye at right. The dark will give way to light when time is due. Pure in Ha6-51 (the only such glyph in H) illustrates the empty 'shell' which spring sun has left. His bodily remains are inert, while his living soul moves on. In Ha6-54 we have pau at bottom left (as in Saturday). Hanga Te Pau it could be, because from there new fire is fetched. But the order of the signs is opposite: pau haga. I question the reading haga, it is rather vaha (mea). Instead of maro hanging down ('death') the sign is shown reversed, it means 'birth' (of new fire, 5). 330 = 30 * 11. The time is day 330 / 3 + 100 = 210 = 7 * 30. It is time to change from 7 to 6. 210 + 180 = 390, only 10 days left to 400. 6 * 54 = 324 = 9 * 36, and 180 = 5 * 36. Spring sun (5) is followed by waning sun (9), 5 + 9 = 14 and 14 * 29.5 = 413, only 9 days left to 432. Let us then return to next vaha mea and reflect on the meaning of day 226:
This is what was said:
It fits well with our recent investigations. Day 226 is the last day of spring sun (as counted from winter solstice). 226 - 180 = 46, not far from what is stated in G for the duration of 'midsummer':
We probably ought to include Ga6-26 in 'midsummer' in order to reach 46:
9 weeks (7 * 9 = 63 days) will then remain on side a. Vaha kai at Ha7-35 is the first part of day 381 / 3 + 100 = 227 (as in 22 for number 7), and 7 * 35 = 5 * seven squared. Let us take a quick look on the following events:
The two birds which is only one (Ha7-47) evidently illustrate that time does not have a break from day 230 to day 231:
Manu kake in 400 is the first glyph in day 234:
Koti at Ha8-15 is the central glyph in day 237 and vae kore at Ha8-23 is looking back, the first glyph in day 240:
