The closed mouth vaha mea at Aa1-68 indeed can be read as a combination with puo - the light is gone. Because it is located at the end of the year and it is day number 366, it seems:
At the beginning of side a the difference between counting 2 glyphs per day from the little viri in Ab1-1 and counting 1 glyph per day from inoino in Ab5-41 has diminished to 32. We can here see 'in action' how two different ways of counting merges at the cardinal point - the end of the year. Hakaturou in Aa1-64 identifies one of the alternative ends of the year and here the junction is. 364 is the measure. 3 * 64 = 192 and 364 - 192 = 172. 36 * 4 = 144 = 12 * 12 and 364 - 144 = 220. |
