Let us now try to add to the beginning of the front side 59, 64, etc days from the end of side b in order to ascertain what number of days will fit the two pare glyphs in H best. Without any additions the following redmarked day numbers are - we have concluded - connected with the 2nd pare:
178 + 59 = 237 (of course - with 531 / 3 = 177 days), and day number 237 points at the beginning of the 2nd 'circle'. Given that we can rely on G where 472 / 2 = 236, though 236 is here counted without any additional days from the end of side b - excepting Gb8-30, where we can count 8 * 30 = 240 (= 10 * 24). 80 + 59 = 139 does not strike any bell, though. This fact, together with glyph number 237 at moa in Ha5-21, should make us consider the possibility of changing our focus from 80 to 79, which will result in a satisfactory 178 - 79 = 99 days as the distance to the 2nd pare glyph:
Moa is a glyph type which has its proper place at the beginning of a cycle - which agrees with its glyph number (237) - and by adding 295 to 236 we will come to ariki in Ha10-29:
99 days = 178 - 79, or with 59 days added from the end of side b, 99 = 237 - 138. 138 can be read as 13 combined with 8 (where 13 * 8 = 104 = 4 * 26). Spring Sun evidently is 'loosing his head' already in day 138, but it could take a further 99 days before he fades completely away. If we add 5 further days (= 64 - 59) we will have day numbers 242 respectively 143. 2 * 42 = 84 and 14 * 3 = 42 = 84 / 2. Also with 64 days added it therefore appears to be possible to read a connection between the 'disappearance of the head' (Ha5-19--20) and pare in Ha10-31. In the table below I have used additions with also 106 respectively 108 days, because these number of days may have determined the locations:
59 could be the correct number of days to add, and then 168 becomes the midpoint: (99 + 237) = 168. It may be a coincidence, but 138 = 414 / 3, where 414 is equal to 'one more' than 14 * 29.5:
Day number 414 has no mata. |
