Kea in Ab6-84 has ordinal numbere 1158, and 11 in 1158 (where 58 = 2 * 29) should indicate 'one more'. 15 (the full moon night) is 'surrounded' by 18 (the number of 20-day periods to reach 360):
500 should indicate when time is ripe for a new season (cfr at vaha mea), but 6 * 84 = 504 possibly is meant to remind us of a necessity to add 4. Such seems to be the case in G:
We are fumbling around in the dark and the possibilities seem to be without limit. Numbers are like letters - only an illusive fabric of Moon. In Ab6-77 I imagine 677 = 500 + 177 (= 6 * 29.5), and likewise in Aa6-77 (another 'zero stomach' glyph):
But 1334 = 1166 + 178 (not 177). Let us therefore return to the parallel glyphs:
The pair of henua (Ab6-78 and Ab6-80) could refer to the days of the 2nd half of the solar year. The bottom 5 glyphs could refer to the nights of the same season. The irregular henua at left in Ab6-81 is of the same type as in dark Saturday:
But the right part of Ab6-81 is ragi with a moon crescent. Honu in Ab6-79 has no arms, he may have moved away from his 'teka' phase' into his 'swimming (tekau)' phase, and therefore also kea in Ab6-84 should have moved on away from the waxing Moon phase:
Maybe kea glyphs are nighttime equivalents of honu glyphs? 6 * 79 = 474 = 2 * 237. |
