3. Let us now return to the beginning of line a4:
The henua periods 1-2 evidently are special, and maybe also period 10 is special:
12 (at Ga3-9) + 15 (the remaining glyphs ahead in line a3) = 27, and then we can add 9 at the beginning of line a4 in order to reach 36 = 4 * 9. In other words, beyond period 2 there are 24 glyphs up to and including Ga4-9. Both 36 and 24 are numbers which suggest cardinal points for the path of Sun. A high neck (and short legs) for tagata rima i ruga in Ga4-9 informs us that this cardinal point for Sun should not be in midwinter:
The legs in Ga4-9 are similar to those in Ga2-5, Ga2-7, and Ga2-9. But the neck is different (like a sign of henua) and the head is looking ahead instead of straight at us. The latter sign probably means Ga4-9 is not standing at a solstice. We should remember to recolour tagata mau in Ga3-7 from Mars to Venus:
I have not yet decided whether to also change the planetary colours for the glyphs beyond Ga3-9 (to increase their ordinal numbers in the line by 3). |
