But side a of G has more glyphs than those 192 for the whole K text, viz. 230 counted from Gb8-30. The whole line Ga8 has no parallel in K, which explains 26 glyphs = 52 days of the difference. 230 - 26 = 204, and we must find 12 more glyphs outside the K text. Let us therefore locate glyph number 192 in G:
The two Rei glyphs define beginnings of seasons and they fit nicely with ika hiku (3 limbs at right) at position 5 beyond 192. Counting 2 days per glyph we find day number 400 at Ga7-30. There are 16 'feathers' on haś (Ga7-23), and 16 * 12 = 192. In Ga7-24 we can count 7 * 24 = 168, and at left in Ga7-25 we have a 'limb' with 6 + 6 = 12 'feathers'. In Ga7-28 the 'lights' ('eyes') - symmetrically located - on hau tea have gone out. The last of the light presumably is referred to by 7 * 28 = 196, i.e. at Ga7-26 (immediately before ika hiku). 22 in Ga7-22 suggests the multiples of 22 which we found in K, and which have been explained as referring to π. Here even the other needed component is given, π = 22 / 7. Only once on side a can it be expressed so clearly. |
