These two mago glyphs together measure out a distance equal to 200 glyphs:
1322 at Ha1-26 is equal to the total number of glyphs in H (1296) with 26 added. At first glance it appears to be a coincidence, because 3 glyphs are needed in H to measure out 1 day. 200 is not divisible by 3. However, that fact is exactly what has been used by the creator of the text, because the following glyph (Ha1-27) will then be possible to use as an approximation of the difference between 365¼ - 365:
Hb9-62 is the last glyph in the total calendar cycle, and mago at Hb9-63 is its first glyph. The development begin in the dark with neither stars, moon nor sun shining. The intrinsic value of mago is darkness, but here it has been amplified by the added sign of mea ke. The development from a completely dark beginning is, in a nutshell, the idea which forms the basic common structural features in H and G. This important statement must be elucidated. |
