Two of the honu glyphs in the G text have big holes:
The numbers indicate they are a pair, e.g. is 233 mirrored in 332 (a consequence of 100). Another way to order them is to view them together with the three similarly formed honu without holes, and a new pattern will then emerge:
Gb1-3 (and indirectly then also Gb3-15) surely is connected with Gb6-26. 6 lunar months (177 nights) begin with Gb1-3 and end with Gb6-26. Half a year (183 days) then follows, until a special season arrives with Ga5-10. Ga6-24 is via Ga5-10 indirectly related to Gb6-26, but also directly:
244 - 64 = 180, i.e. from Ga6-24 to Gb6-26 there are 180 + 64 days, and then follows another period of 64 days (to the end of side b). 295 - 228 = 67 = 244 - 177. A year with 10 lunar months (295) is 67 days longer than 192 + 36 days. A 'square' of double-months with 61 days in each is 67 days longer than 6 lunar months (177). |
