In the text on the Small Washington tablet there are 3 rona glyphs at the beginning of glyph line Rb8:
According to my efforts in counting the glyphs of R the first glyph in line Rb8 could be number 400 (from *Ra1-1). The central rona in the triplet above will then be at number 404. Counting from rona in Ra2-9 we will find the distance to be 364 glyphs (maybe referring to 364 days or possibly to 364 / 2 = 182 days):
After having turned the tablet over from its front side to its back side there is an estimated number of 177 (= 6 * 29.5) glyphs remaining to rona in Rb8-5. Rona in Ra2-9 (as in 29) has nuku legs, a straight long neck and is falling on his head (not on his face). It could refer to a dark night immediately beyond the final of autumn. Rona in Rb8-5 has different traits and it looks as if he is flying away. Up to now we have not used the text of R in this dictionary. We should therefore here invest some time and effort with a few pages in order to, if possible, make sure that side b really is the back side of the text. |
