According to the parallel Q text the planets are distributed in another way than in H:
If the time of the year is the same as in H, then we must therefore imagine the oppositely oriented vaha kai to mean something else than vaha kai in *Ha7-35. Instead of Mars it is Jupiter which is referred to, and possibly it means that Jupiter is born here. Tapa mea at *Qa7-20 has only 2 feathers, but they are oriented in the forward direction. At a birth it is natural to look forward. A break in time is clearly announced and we can compare with the parallel glyph in H:
The ordinal number for *Qa7-20 counted from *Qa1-1 is 274. If we count with 2 glyphs per day it becomes 274 / 2 = 137 days, and then we can add 63 days from the end of the back side: 63 + 137 = 200. It is time to begin counting anew, the 2nd half of 400 days is about to begin (which can explain the 2 forward feathers. Moon has here ended the 1st half and then ascertained that a new little one (without mata) will be on her way - it must be a she because Sun will be reborn at winter solstice, not in summer. *Ha7-39 has ordinal number *383 counted from Ha1-1:
Atariki at *Ha7-40 has a very high neck and he could symbolize the end of the first half of a year with 384 days. 7 * 40 = 280 could mean that light now will disappear. It is a Sun day. If we divide by 2, 384 will become 192 (equal to the number of glyphs in K). And 192 = 8 * 24. The cycle of Sun (24) is complete (8). 7 * 35 (at vaha kai) = 245, i.e. 5 more than 10 * 24. Spring sun (Mars) is finished 190 days from winter solstice. Moon is finished in night number 29, spring Sun in day 10 * 19. |
