Answer to Question 1

 The bell phrase consists of unequal lengths of strokes, long and short (asymmetry), but the duration of a bell phrase is a symmetrical unit, a literal measure of the time.
 The axatse and kaganu tones mark that measure (of the duration of the bell phrase) into four equal ternary units.

Answer to Question 2
