The two alternatives (30 respectively 31 days per month in summer)
give these results:
|
30
days |
 |
148 |
 |
119 |
 |
|
Ga4-3 |
Gb1-6 |
Gb5-2 |
|
1 |
150 |
270 |
|
31
days |
|
153 |
 |
123 |
 |
|
Ga4-3 |
Gb1-11 |
Gb5-11 |
|
1 |
155 |
279 |
But - to repeat - 279
would measure 9 months of a year with 372 days, which hardly is
right. On the other hand will 270 days not stretch all the way to
haga te pau, which also is strange. The correct reading of the
text instead is a third alternative:
|
summer |
|
148 |
|
123 |
 |
|
Ga4-3 |
Gb1-6 |
Gb5-6 |
|
1 |
150 |
274 |
There are 5 months
with 30 days to Gb1-6, and then follows 4 months with 31 days. Part
of the proof of this being the correct reading is the fact of
finding a tagata glyph (fully grown) at the end.
