Glyph number 108 (counted from Gb8-30) is Ga4-24, which presumably is significant (10 and 8 are together, similar to how 10 and 99 are together at mama in Hb9-38):
The number of chevron marks are 6 in each mama (whereas they are 4 in Hb9-38 and perhaps indicating the 4 weeks in a month). Twice 6 equals 12, which is equal to the number of months in a year according to our own calendar. This is an argument for the idea that the 2 mama in Ga4-23--24 are referring to the path of Sun rather than to the cycle of Moon. Even if we count with a single 'limb' for Sun number 12 is a good measure, because half a year can be counted e.g. as 12 * 15 = 180. Why not count 12 * 20 = 240? Because the period number is 15! Also, 108 has its zero in the middle and by putting it at the end it becomes 180. 4 * 27 (as in Ga4-27) = 108 can make us perceive Ga4-25--26 as the glyphs of central importance in period 15, and number 26 in Ga4-26 obviously refers to Sun. We can count from Rogo in Gb6-26, and the result is a surprising déja vu:
174 = 6 * 29 = 64 + 110 = 238 - 64. In Ga7-4 (where significantly 74 + 100 = 174) this number might indicate the last day of a black period (comparable to the location of nuku in Aa2-30):
As to 174 at Ga4-26 it is natural to count from Rogo and winter solstice:
Another alternative is to count from Gb6-25 and end with Ga4-25. If we should count Gb8-30 only once then 174 is the measure from Gb6-25 up to and including Ga4-26. Anyhow, the rounded bottom of Rogo in Gb6-26 seems to be mirrored in the rounded bottom of Ga4-26. |
