[Antonio García Jiménez]

In the VM script the gallows are a representation of the sun. Those with two legs are the sun in each of the two hemispheres, and those with one leg are the sun in the lunar nodes, those called in the Middle Ages the head and tail of the dragon.

This is what would explain this strange union of glyphs: why one of the benches fits under the gallows. It is a fusion of glyphs that represents the conjunction of the sun and the moon. When the conjunction of the bench occurs with the one-legged gallows, what is represented are the eclipses.

The bench with a curl never joins the gallows because it represents the crescent moon until it reaches opposition with the sun, hence we see the curl change position and shape.
