The most recent attempt (cfr hahe) to describe the structure of the Tahua text suggests the existence of a calendar beginning at Aa3-8 and ending some 400 glyphs later:
Kara etahi in Aa5-10 should be possible to integrate in this structure:
Ordinal number 10 in a glyph line presumably is a day of Venus, which also happens to be the case with haś in Aa7-84. Subtracting the days at the beginning (Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus) from 584 results in 581 which is equal to 7 * 83. Presumably 160 is a number connected with the moon and 240 a number associated with spring sun:
5 * 12 = 60 and 345 could refer to the basic Pythagorean triangle for measuring the height of the sun. The throat of the moe bird (Aa5-15) is open in front while the 'spirit rising' (manu rere) in Aa5-16 has a crack in the past (left wing open). Henua ora in Aa5-14 indicates it is time for 'recycling' and the planet 'costume' is Mars, the spring garment of the Sun. Mercury will take over (moe in Aa5-15). The character of manu rere in Aa5-9 is drastically different from that in Aa5-16:
342 = 18 * 19, a number which in a way is reversing 18 * 18 = 324 (by changing 24 into 42), the ordinal number of the hua glyph preceding manu rere in Aa4-74:
Possibly the type of manu rere which in Tahua has a 'cracked wing' at left indicates the 'spirit of spring'. |
