In Ga7-23 haś has 16 'feathers', maybe meaning that 16 * 12 = 192 days are in the past.
'Feathers' on both sides presumably should be read as 'occulted'. In Ga7-25 the first of the Rogo glyphs has at left a limb with 6 + 6 = 12 'feathers'. Maybe each such means 15 days - 12 * 15 = 180. In Ga7-32 there are, in the figure at left, 7 + 6 = 13 'feathers'. 13 * 15 = 195, possibly referring to glyph number 195 (Rogo in Ga7-25). Maybe 195 is another day of Rogo (in addition to day number 363). 363 - 195 = 168 (a wellknown rongorongo number). Ika hiku in Ga7-27 has 4 + 3 'bent feathers', maybe meaning 'weak'. 7 days in a week times 27 = 189 days, which could refer to Ga7-19:
7-19 is like a 'reversed' 197. 7 * 19 = 19 * 7 = 133. Maybe this number is related to 261 (= 9 * 29), because 133 + 2 * 64 (cfr later). Furthermore, 133 + 261 = 394 = 2 * 197. If we think of ika hiku (the 'shark egg') as similar to rau hei, then a rising shark 197 days later is not difficult to understand:
Day 197 in Q is also telling about a rising shark:
But this one is quite different from the shark in Gb6-11. Its ordinal number reminds us of Te Pou (Sirius at 9 * 29.5), and we can count 394 - 266 = 128 = 2 * 64. |
