3. This could be the intended structure for the 10 first glyphs in the line. Light increases towards the middle of the year and the number of glyphs in each part should therefore at first increase and then decrease:
10 months with 26 days in each probably signifies the season of Sun. But Sun was born earlier and we should therefore add 104 in order to cover the whole year. 104 + 260 = 364 and the same pattern is to be found in the text of G:
In Eb7-9 the consequence must be 7 * 26 = 182, because the 'cherries' are of the same type. Maybe we should add 104 + 182 = 286 = 11 * 26, i.e. 'one more' than 10 * 26, perhaps signifying that next generation is born in winter and not in summer. Quite possibly we should also count beyond 2 * 236 = 472 in the G text. Haś in Ga3-14 corresponds to glyph number 260 + 286 = 546:
In the rongorongo texts glyph number 14 in glyph line 3 refers to 3.14 or the value of π. The 'bent branch' in a haś type of glyph probably represents the path of a luminary, beginning at bottom and moving up and clockwise, ending at the tip. The 'feathers' are used to indicate calendrical periods, great 'feathers' represent great periods and the smaller ones lesser periods. |
