What is the glyph number for the special ua in the 17th period if we count from the beginning?
Remarkably it is 108 = 6 * 18, i.e. the same number as that for the only ua glyph in K. It can hardly be a coincidence. It was in relation to glyph number 186, the 'dark' mauga, we defined the winged sun birds in Eb4-22--23 as middle (93 * 2 = 186). At glyph number 150 (Eb6-2) we located the end of the 'light' mauga calendar:
186 - 36 = 150. If we reduce with another 36 (for the glyphs Eb4-23--Eb5-16) we have 114 left. 114 = 6 * 19 (which sounds ominous for the sun):
75 = 3 * 18 + 3 * 7. Eb4-4--5 mark the middle of the calendar year (according to the 'light mauga'). The 1st 'half' (3 periods) of the 2nd half of the calendar follows the rule of the sun (18) while the 2nd 'half' (another 3 periods) follows the rule of the moon (7). In this perspective ua in Eb5-16 is the last glyph for the sun. 25 can now be perceived as 18 + 7, and 150 as 6 * 25 = 6 ' (18 + 7). |
