Surprisingly, takaure glyphs arrive where sun (according to our guess) will begin to decline:
Possibly, therefore, a takaure season (whatever that means) is stretching from the beginning of sun's decline to the reappearance of a powerful sun at the beginning of summer.
Gb3-1 is glyph number 291 counted from the beginning of side a. From Gb3-1 to the end of side b there are 181 glyphs, and - we should remember - also Ga1-1 should be included, i.e. there are twice 91 (the number of days in a quarter) = 182 glyphs from Gb3-1. From Ga1-2 up to (but not including) Ga4-3 there are 84 glyhs. 182 + 84 = 266. 266 (takaure) + 274 (summer) = 540. This number suggests the takaure season could be regarded as beginning already at Gb2-34 (because it is located 54 glyphs beyond Gb1-6). Gb2-34 is the first takaure glyph beyond Ga4-2. |
