According to my reconstruction there is a cardinal point at Aa1-64 because the glyph says so and because there is an agreement between two different ways to count days:
Vaha mea puo in Aa1-68 seems to identify the last glyph of the year and day 366 is beyond 365¼. The following extraordinary Aa1-69 could very well illustrate a kind of continuation of the shape of Aa1-64:
When another calendar takes over it may be a gradual process, stretching over e.g. 16 + 1 glyphs and maybe here from Rei in Aa1-52 (which would be day 160). Then follows a sequence with 90 - 72 = 18 glyphs, perhaps to day 198 = 2 * 99. The first 4 of these glyphs could belong in a group together in analogy with 360 + 4 = 364:
Without any such thoughts I once saw Aa1-76 as the last glyph of a sequence. My judgment was based on perceiving that the H/P/Q texts did not follow in parallel beyond Aa1-76. To evaluate if I my perception was right we must reexamine the texts. |
