If we compare maro in Ca6-24 with the first two such glyphs, we can see the common shape, with the 'string' at right longer than the one at left:
At summer solstice the sky roof is high, which explains the gap between the top and bottom part. In a way it is a koti sign - a vertical break in contrast to the horizontal break of the Omotohi glyph (Ca7-24). At right in the glyph follows the 'back side' (tu'a), and the moon stations continue up to day 413 (= 14 * 29.5), Tamaiti. 413 - 229 (the number of glyphs on side a in G) = 184 = 368 / 2. But the text continues beyond Tamaiti, which possibly explains why the right maro string is longer than the left. The question mark above Ca6-24 maybe can be eliminated by counting glyphs and comparing with the text of G. An attempt follows here. |
