We cannot finish the toki chapter without briefly looking at the beginning of side a on Keiti. It has a variety of toki glyphs. At hahe it was mentioned that it begins with 7 glyphs which maybe represent the planets:
Mercury (Ea1-1) would then be depicted as a reversed toki (not bad if we think of toki as an emblem of male power). The lower part of toki in Ea1-6 possibly has an extra sign, possibly from the Moon. And then follows a clearly atypical toki as the left arm of Mars (honui) in Ea1-7. Sun in Ea1-5 carries a tao sign. Another such glyph - presumably related - comes not far before toki hipu in Eb7-2:
The distance between the 'planetary sequence' and the trio Eb6-28--30 is 530 glyphs:
5 * 30 = 150, but also 53 is a number we recognize, e.g. from Tahua:
Immediately beyond the 'planetary sequence' (Ea1-1--7) there are 99 glyphs distributed in 10 'sentences':
Many toki glyphs are among these 99. An overview is delivered here. It should also be noted that 7 + 99 = 106 = 2 * 53. |
