If this method of counting was
meant to be perceived by the reader, then we ought to find a midpoint
256 / 2 = 128 glyphs from Gb6-20:
|

|
|
|

58 |
Gb6-20 (*1) |
Gb6-21 |
Gb6-22 |
Gb6-23 |
Gb6-24 (407) |
123 |
256 / 2 = 128 |
I have redmarked 123 as an
important number, for instance in:
|
59 |
|
62 |
|
Gb4-22 (343) |
Gb6-20 (403) |
Gb8-24 (*530) |
123 |
It is also the difference
between 531 (= 3 * 177) and 408.
Furthermore, it emerged (cfr at Tagata
Gagana) as the number of glyphs from the
beginning of side b to the last day of 354,
i.e. 123 + 45 = 168:
side b |

In the discussion about the

presented 21 glyphs and among them is kara etahi in

It is probably significant
to arrive at the beginning of the henua
calendar (where 'land' is rising again) and
to
Rei in Ga2-27 as number 128
counted from Gb6-20:
⅔ |
|

Ga2-28 (59) |

Ga3-4 |
Ga3-5 (*8) |
Halfway from raaraa
in Gb6-20 the henua calendar is
initiated by Rei in Ga2-27 (where 22
divided by 7 generates π). Let us update with
paint the first quartet of periods in my
old table:
1
1-13 |
day 1 = winter solstice |
|
|
|
|
Ga2-27 (*1) |

If Rei should come immediately
after winter solstice, then the front side
would lie ahead and 12 glyphs for Sun is
reasonable. Then we can expect Moon to arrive,
but she should have 8 glyphs, not 10. To reach
22 (symbolizing a complete circuit) there cannot
be only 8. However, by inserting 2 glyphs for Mercury
(who is 2 persons, both male and female) can we
create order:
3 - 4
27-52 |
Mercury ? |
|
|
Ga3-10 (*13) |
Ga3-11 |
Moon ? |
|
|
|
|
Ga3-12 |
Ga3-13 |
Ga3-14 |
Ga3-15 |
|
|
|
|
Ga3-16 (*19) |
Ga3-17 |
Ga3-18 |
Ga3-19 (*22) |
To make it work we have to
combine 2 henua periods, which in a way is
reassuring because the split personality of Mercury introduces number
2 so to say.
My play with structures and
numbers must be supported by the images in
the glyphs or else be dismissed. Here the
key glyphs evidently are those I have
suggested should belong to Mercury, because
we recognize the head turned upside down and
planted down in earth (poporo in
Ga3-11) and the preceding hau tea has
the eyes of Janus. It could be summer
solstice.
Next we can
count again and we are richly rewarded, because
poporo is 'one more' than 140 days from
raaraa and the distance 140 days (10
fortnights) has probably been calculated to be divided in half:
|
|
|
|
|
65 |
Gb6-20 (*1) |
Gb6-21 |
Gb6-22 |
Gb6-23 |
Gb6-24 (407) |
70 |
69 |
|
|
Ga3-10 |
Ga3-11 (*141) |
70 |
70 days from what could be winter
solstice the tablet must be turned around
to side a, and then another 10 weeks are
needed in order to reach the midpoint
determined by Mercury. But
this idea implies we must count 4 * 70 = 280
in order to complete the whole circuit. Support
is given by the equation 472 - 280 = 192.
Thus we ought to continue to
glyph number 70 + 140 = 210 (counted from Gb8-30):
|
|
|
|
|
Ga7-30 (200) |
Ga7-31 |
Ga7-32 |
Ga7-33 |

In Ga7-32 there are 7 + 6 =
13 feather signs - could they represent the
'tail feathers' of the year? Hardly, there
should be only 2 of them. Maybe they instead
are represented by glyph lines a8 and b1
because both have 26 glyphs and glyph number
256 counted from the beginning of the front
side is the last in line b1:
