Next we can try with assigning ordinal numbers counted from Ea1-1:
490 at toga is equal to 49 * (5 + 5). A square of Mars (7 * 7 = 49) seems to have reached to its end, which ought to mean there is a need for a new such 'fire' (or rather shadow of a 'fire' because Mars like the moon is only reflecting the light from the sun). Toga at Eb5-15 is located just beyond this end of 'fire'. 499 at Eb5-24 is similarly the 500th unit of time (whatever it might be), not the 499th. Time counts only when the unit for measuring has reached its end, like when you turn the hour-glass around. Mercury at toga is therefore at a position of 'limbo' ('zero') - the old period has ended but the new one has not yet begun to be counted. Moreover - not even when ua arrives in the following glyph can there be a new 'light'. Rain will not allow it. So only with Venus at Eb5-17 will sun light have a chance to return. We should notice the similarity with the first glyphs in K:
In Ka1-5 (a Sun day) light has begun to grow (eat, kai). We recognize a play with fingers, here in a constellation which is reversed compared to that in Eb5-21. If we count from Eb1-1, we will have 6 * 29 = 174 instead of 500, side a has 326 glyphs. And toga will be number 490 - 326 = 164, with Venus at Eb5-17 as day number 166. If we count from the beginning of the henua calendar (from Eb1-37) we must reduce with a further 36 days. 174 - 36 = 138, 164 - 36 = 128, and 166 - 36 = 130. Toga will now be twice 64 = half 256, which hardly is a coincidence. For instance can we find glyph number 256 at the end of line 7 on side a designed with another constellation of sun and sky (cfr Eb5-23):
Maybe 7 * 39 = 3 * 91 here alludes to the end of 3 quarters of sun light. 498 (Eb5-23) - 256 (Ea7-39) = 242 = the number of glyphs on side b of G. |
