Let us now investigate where ragi glyphs appear in the calendars looked at so far. Neither in the calendars for the week (in H and P) nor in the Mamari moon calendar are there any ragi glyphs. In the Keiti calendar for the year, though, we find four instances, in the 1st, 4th, 6th, and 22nd periods. Eb1-38 is open at the bottom, indicating a state of 'death' (whatever swallowed will fall right through):
E.g. Eb1-40 confirms the interpretation. Henua ora glyphs are located at the end of cycles and means 'return to mother', the universal 'recycling station'. The old year is only a 'spirit' and the first part of the 1st period describes the end of the previous year. |
