Next step naturally is to investigate if also side a of G could cover the whole year, if also in the G text we should count two days per glyph. The major kuhane stations on side a would then (as before) be:
But the distances between kuhane stations would not be 29.5 but 59 days, and sun will leave at Nga Kope Ririva after 354 days. Te Kioe Uri would mark the end of the dark time - appropriately named as the time of the Black Rat. And the calendar would be divided into tertials:
In order to keep the rule of 60 days beyond winter solstice before sun reappears the first half of Te Kioe Uri must be located before winter solstice - the calendar will begin (and end) 2 months before winter solstice. Once they regarded the year to have only 10 months. |
