By subtracting 100 from 236 (Ca9-8) we will reach glyph number 136 (→ Alcyone).
Why should we count thus? Because the Julian equinox was defined as day 84 counted from January 1 and by adding 16 in order to reach the corresponding day in ancient times - when they waited late at night for the return to visibility of the relevant star - the sum will become a nice 100. In other words 216 (= 316 - 100) + 84 = 300 ↔ 300 + 16 = 316. Why should we count thus? Because by now we should know that the creator of the C text - and likewise the creators of all the other rongorongo texts - ought to have documented the beautiful structure perceived by all in Mother Nature. The text is to be counted, i.e. it should be read in the language of Mother Nature. And we should therefore be able to go easily from one text to another without encountering any major obstacles. For instance could we go from Ca5-31 (→ 531 → 3 * 177 → 9 * 59 → 18 * 29˝) to right ascension day *136 at Ga3-13:
... It was 4 August 1968, and it was the feast day of Saint Dominic, patron of Santo Domingo Pueblo, southwest of Santa Fe. At one end of the hot, dusty plaza, a Dominican priest watched nervously as several hundred dancers arranged in two long rows pounded the earth with their moccasined feet as a mighty, collective prayer for rain, accompanied by the powerful baritone singing of a chorus and the beat of drums. As my family and I viewed this, the largest and in some ways the most impressive Native American public ceremony, a tiny cloud over the Jémez Mountains to the northwest got larger and larger, eventually filling up the sky; at last the storm broke, and the sky was crisscrossed by lightning and the pueblo resounded with peals of rolling thunder ... The ordinary calendar year of the Pope Gregory XIII - indeed an unlucky numbeer - measures 365 days which requires 183 days to be added when moving ahead but 182 days subtracted when moving withershins. This in a way explains why Ca9-8 apparently corresponds to MARCH 10 in contrast to MARCH 11 at Ga7-3- 366 / 2 = 183 should be used for finding the stars and 2 * 182 = 364 should be used for finding the earth: ... Another name for Mercury was Hermes and Hermes Trismegisthos (thrice-mighty) could have referred to the fact that there were 3.141 * 115.88 = 364.0 days for the cycle of the Earth around the Sun. Although the calendar has 365 days for a year this is due to the fact that the Earth has to turn around an extra day in order to compensate for how the direction to the Sun changes during a year ...
