If
we add 18 imagined glyphs beyond *Ha12-21 they
could belong at the beginning of the back side
of the calendar. 21 is the mirror image of 12. Or
they could belong at the end of side a. Saturn
has the last of these imagined glyphs:
|
... |
16 |
... |
|
*Ha12-22 |
*Ha12-39 (666) |
|
18 / 3 = 6 |
648,
the ordinal number of *Ha12-21, seems to form a
'number yoke' with *Ha12-39, because 12 * 39 =
468 where 46 is the mirror image of 64:
|
468 |
46 * 8 =
368 |
512 - 368 = 12 * 12 |
4 * 68 = 272 |
288 - 272 = 4 * 4 |
|
648 |
64 * 8 = 512 |
6 * 48 =
288 |
The situation is ambivalent because we do
not know if we should add these 18 imagined
glyphs or not.
But at least we can colour after planets:

Unfortunately the 'visibility' is ebbing out and from
Mars at Hb1-7 it is not certain how many
glyphs are missing. Below I have guessed 4 + 6 =
10 glyphs are missing among 22 at the
beginning of the line:

In
the parallel P and Q texts there are 15
respectively 17 glyphs corresponding to those 16
which I suggest for H in the table above.
Ordinal number 16 in a sequence should be the
last one, we know, which suggests the first 6
glyphs in the line ought to constitute a
separate group:

217 (or 223) |

21 *
8 = 168 and 22 * 4 = 88, strong number signals
both of them, and if we read them as 16-8
respectively 8-8 they seem to be related by a
'yoke'. 65 * 4 = 260 says Sun (26) has completed
his 10 months. 67 * 2 = 134 can then be
understood, because presumably it says Sun (13) has
completed his 4 quarters. 6 * 72 = 12 * 36 = 18
* 24. 6 * 54 = 324 = 18 * 18. 'Eating Sun' (in Hb1-5) is fading
away. The parallel texts indicate Hb1-6 should
be read as a puo glyph:

In P and
Q it is Mars instead of Sun who is 'hilled up'
(covered as by 'a black cloth').
The
glyphs which are missing are not, it seems,
destroyed by fire. It is the space for the glyph
line which is so narrow as to enable showing only
the top parts of the glyphs (at least this is the
conclusion I have drawn from Barthel's picture of
the tablet). But I believe the creator of the text
has used this physical restraint to his advantage by 'hiding'
10 glyphs among those 16. The 'front side' (Sun) is
gradually disappearing. From
*Hb1-23 the 'back side'
seems to be depicted as gradually appearing.
The day
number for the last glyph *Ha1-22 indicates it is
the beginning of next day:

Hanga rave in *Hb1-28 evidently marks the
'harbour' where the canoe of Mars is coming to
rest. Counting with 18 imaginary glyphs at the
end of line Ha12 will give Moon-day (which marks
the limit of Sun) ordinal number 693 and
day number 231, which is where
the G tablet has been turned around:
