3. The kava glyph type could have its form from the W sign of Cassiopeia:
I have earlier deduced that kava (cfr the Kava chapter) refers to the creation of a new fire, as for instance in Aa8-30 (a Thursday where 8 * 30 = 240):
In my outline glyph dictionary I wrote as a summary for the kava glyph type: ... At the end of the old year, when old sun has stopped moving and a new one is needed, the whole community is engaged in activities preparing for the new year, sweeping out all the old. So it was among the Maya and so it presumably was also on Easter Island.
The ceremonies held reflect what is happening up in the sky. A new fire on earth will be in harmony with a new fire in the sky. Kava will make the eyes more sensitive, generating an illusion of returning light. Possibly the kava glyph type sometimes illustrates a bolt of lightning. At other times the glyph type may depict a ginger root. The kava glyph type seems to have been used in the rongorongo calendars to mark where the new fire is generated ... I had not at that time any evidence of a connection between kava and W of Cassipeia, but I had detected where in the year kava seemed to be located: ... With the 2nd half of the text ending at Gb8-30 and what presumably is autumn equinox visualized in Gb5-1 the 3 kava glyphs are located in the 4th, black, quarter when old sun is running out:
Aa8-31 is also located in a last season:
5 * 25 = 125, 6 * 3 = 18, and 7 * 31 = 217. Adding these numbers we find that they probably belong together: 125 + 18 + 217 = 260 = 10 * 26. The measure of the sun has run out ... We could add that 52 * 5 = 260 and 1280 = 20 * 64. |
