In order to present the line in an 'objective' manner I have chosen to group the glyphs into sequences of 8. The 'colours of the planets' will then 'imprint' each 8-group with a particular planet, the one who becomes both 'alpha' and 'omega'. Thus e.g. Ga1-17--24 can be imagined to correspond to Venus (marked green by me).

The result is a last group with only 6 glyphs, with Saturn as 'alpha' and Jupiter as 'omega', exactly as in line Gb8 (which also has 30 glyphs):


Gb8-25	Gb8-26	Gb8-27	Gb8-28	Gb8-29	Gb8-30 (472)
Saturn	Sun	Moon	Mars	Mercury	Jupiter
Saturday	Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday

However, the text is probably also beginning with Gb8-30, which fact then can be regarded as a sign that the end is also the beginning in a cycle of time. But how can such a sign be described in an outline dictionary of rongorongo signs? As I have done here, of course.

We can assume that each glyph in the text of G corresponds to a day and that a sequence of 7 glyphs corresponds to a week. Although time can be measured in fortnights the measure for the days of Sun should be only half as long - Sun has only one 'limb' (he is present only half the time, be it of the diurnal cycle or of the year).

We can also assume that the total of the G text constitutes a kind of calendar for the year, although a year different from our own.

Instead of beginning with Sunday (or Saturday which some would prefer) I suggest day number 1 (glyph number 1) in a line corresponds to a Wednesday, which assumption will lead to the following connections between position in a glyph line and the planets:

Mercury	Jupiter	Venus	Saturn	Sun	Moon	Mars
1	2	3	4	5	6	7
8	9	10	11	12	13	14
15	16	17	18	19	20	21
22	23	24	25	26	27	28
29	30	31	32	33	34	35
et cetera

If a week is beginning with Saturday (which evidence in the rongorongo texts seems to suggest), then a glyph line will begin in the middle of a week.

If the text of G constitutes a kind of calendar - which I have understood it to be - then the position of a glyph in the text is a powerful sign which needs to be taken into consideration when the meaning of the different kinds of glyphs are to be described in the following.

The rongorongo tablets have texts on both sides, and one of the sides should presumably be considered as its front side and the other as its back side, with consequences regarding the meaning of the text. E.g. is side a of G evidently its front side and the text is describing the beginning of the year, while side b is its back side where autumn is located.
