Viri at Ga7-1 has earlier been connected by way of 29 to the other viri glyphs in G:
261 dark days followed by 145 spring days add up to 14 * 29 = 406 days (46 more than 360). 145 = 12 * 12 + 1, i.e., viri at Ga7-1 is a dark day. 48 days between viri at Ga5-11 and viri at Ga7-1 is equal to 6 * 8, which suggests a conjunction of sun with moon. But we can alternatively read 2 * 48 (= 12 * 8) from Ga1-26 up to and including viri at Ga5-11. If so, then there are 3 * 48 = 6 * 24 (= 144) days from Ga1-26 to viri at Ga7-1. Between Ga7-1 and Gb1-6 (with a reversal of the position of 1 and with a change from 7 to 6) a midsummer season with 64 days presumably excludes counting by 29:
The last glyph on side a (Ga8-26) is located 59 days beyond viri at Ga7-1 (with 7-1 as in the two last positions of 171):
This table seems to be a 'true' picture of what the creator intended - too many 'coincidences' together can hardly be coincidences. Furthermore, focus has been placed at Ga7-1 because it is the first glyph beyond the first 6 glyph lines, and we should notice that 471 - 300 = 171. Also, 360 + 171 = 531 = 18 * 29.5, the number of glyphs to reach Te Pou in Tahua (where we presumably ought to count 2 glyphs per day). But we should remember the possibility of counting 3 glyphs per day, in which case 531 glyphs = 177 days (= 6 * 29.5):
171 = 9 * 19:
171 therefore resembles 261 = 9 * 29, where 29 obviously is the dark day of the month. We can assume 19 to be the dark number of the sun (one more than 18). |
