If the creator of the Y text for some reason wished to 'devaluate' the glyphs beyond the first 18 (180 days) in his calendar I, then we can expect him to have done so also with the glyphs in calendar II. The structure below will then be the result:
I have here assigned non-devaluated 20 days for all 3 glyphs in the last little group. However, there should be some reason for Yc3-8 being at the end of the text while Yc1-1--2 are at the beginning. Furthermore, manu rere in Yc3-8 is ending in nothing. Following these cues the correct number of days for the last little group could be 50:
But I am not satisfied. Day 300 should be at Yc3-6 where Moon rules. And henua at Yc1-10 ought to be at 180. To accomplish this it is necessary to reestablish Yc1-2 at the beginning of the text:
As can be seen I have changed my mind halfway through the improvement of the structure. Although henua at Yc1-10 received number 180, the henua glyph at Yc3-6 will be number 310 instead of 300. I have also integrated the last 3 glyphs in the structure in order to accomplish 14 * 10 for the 2nd group. 340 may seem as a strange total, but koti could suggests it has been counted right, because this sign is located in glyph Yc3-4 (where also 3 * 4 = 12). If we think in terms of 20, then 360 = 18 * 20. But the first 20 cannot count - time measures only after 'the sand in the hour-glass has run out'. 200 is half 400 and 140 is half 280. Another - and even better - interpretation is though the following, where Yc1-1 has been returned to its place of origin:
In time the end will be noted down as 350 (not as 360). |
