That the one-legged gallows are a representation of the sun in the lunar nodes (caput and cauda draconis), would explain the fact that these glyphs are mostly seen in the first lines of the paragraphs, as they are special and rare positions of the sun.
We have one of the signs that corroborates this possibility in the cosmological diagram of f57v. As is known, here a series of glyphs are repeated in order four times. They are the same except for the one-legged gallows. If we divide the circle into two hemispheres, in the first one we see one of the gallows with one leg and in the other hemisphere we see the other gallows with one leg, the one with an arrowhead. This does not occur with two-legged gallows, which are repeated in both hemispheres in the same way as in a mirror.
The reason for this could be that in both hemispheres we see the sun in the same way, but when the sun is at the lunar nodes in one hemisphere it is in the caput draconis and in the other in cauda draconis.
