I at first imagined the last 14 glyphs in line Aa1 were distributed as 4 + 6 + 6 in the following pattern:
Aa1-75 is exactly the same glyph as Aa1-13, a rare occurrence in Tahua:
Possibly Aa1-13--15 has the same structure as Aa1-75--78. Aa1-15 has two parts, and therefore there are 4 units in Aa1-13--15 too. Number 3 of the 4 is a vae and the corresponding Aa1-77 (where we can imagine 177 = 6 * 29.5) is the similar glyph type haati. Instead of tagata rere (the right sign in Aa1-15) there is an inoino glyph beyond the 'leg'. I guess inoino refers to the season beyond the end of high summer (and tagata rere to winter solstice). Beyond Aa1-90 comes Aa2-1, the first of 85 glyphs:
However, I have ended the table with tagata in Aa2-17, because I suspect tagata in Aa2-1 stands at the end of a quarter and also that it belongs at the end of the previous glyph sequence. From haga rave in Aa2-2 a new counting could begin, which will give tagata in Aa2-17 a more reasonable number 16 (used to mark a final according to the rongorongo system, as evidence has proven). Number 17 (Aa2-18) will then begin anew. 17 is a day of Venus. This somewhat curious argumentation finds support in an curious way. Because it will force niu in Aa1-75 into being a last glyph, not the first glyph among 16 as was previous illustrated above. The sun year seems to end after 13 periods (cfr Aa1-13) as counted by the moon (13 * 29.5 = 383½). This new vision will give vaega in Aa2-14 ordinal number 13 among 16. And 104 = 8 * 13. We can reorder the table into 6 + 7 = 13 glyphs and colour with planets:
The 'stem' from which vaega is hanging down is of the same type as in Aa2-7, which supports my structure. Metoro seems to have understood Aa2-8 (where 2 * 8 = 16) as describing the emergence (pu) of a 'baby' (mahigo). This baby has the colour of Mars (spring). The 13 glyphs above and what Metoro said is discussed in further detail here. |
