Hura in Ha6-28 is a day of Mars, so much is quite clear. Below and in the following I have eliminated the asterisks (*) at the uncertain number of glyphs and glyph labels in H. These uncertainties apparently do not matter any more, they remain only as a theoretical problem. We can in the following regard them as practically eliminated:
Considering the reason why day 354 is not a day of Mars it can be argued that 6-28 is the reason. 628 is twice 314, and it should mean that a cycle is completed with glyph Ha6-28 (although Saturn in Ha6-25 is glyph number 354 = 12 * 29.5 counted from hura in Hb11-50). There are 12 glyph lines on each side of the tablet. Line Ha6 is the last line of the first half of 12 lines on side a. If side a corresponds to the front side of the year, then a new cycle could begin halfway through side a, presumably around spring equinox. At hura in Ca5-14 (where 14 = 28 / 2) the first quarter of the front side of the year seems to be in the past:
If Summer Sun is ending his days with day number 192 (which seems probable for instance because this is the reconstructed number of glyph spaces in K), then 92 could indicate there is a kind of 'quarter' (= 400 / 4) from Sun's arriving at spring equinox to his departure in high summer. We must notice that there is no sign of 'smoke' hiding any part of hura in Ha6-28. We should instead compare with a similar design in a hua poporo glyph:
Or should I have defined Ha9-8 as a hura glyph? Let us investigate. |
