We should look for another sign of 42 - redundance was used in the rongorongo texts - and maybe we can connect the bird manu kake with Ga4-19:
In Ga3-1 there is a little vertical 'measure' sign (GD122) formed by the right side of the neck - it is prolonged a bit down into the body of the bird. The sign is quite clear once you have recognized it. Knowing what to look for it is then possible to count 42 glyphs forward and identify another such subtle, slightly prolonged, vertical line - 'hidden' as the right side of henua. But here it is necessary to look also at the other kiore - henua glyphs in G, to see whether my proposal is reasonable. And the result proves to be negative. |
