F—The moon as first made by Stĕnátlĭhăn, at the behest of Kútĕrastan, who asked that she make something to illumine the night. The streaks represent catamenia, and the gradual growth of the moon is assumed to be parallel with prenatal growth.
G—This single symbol, a maltese cross, represents the four personages who made the stars. They have to do with the stars[pg 032] only, and are not prayed to as deities having power over the people on earth.
