4. Back to the texts:


Ka1-7	Ka1-8	Ka1-9	Ka1-10
	Hassaleh (73.6)
'June 3	'4	'5	'6 (156)
Pleione 3	4	5	6 (20)


Ga1-7	Ga1-8	Ga1-9	Ga1-10
			Hassaleh (73.6)
'May 31	'June 1	'2	'3 (153)
Pleione 1 (15)	2	3	4

The quartet in K clearly corresponds to the quartet in G, yet is obviously quite different.

For instance is the 'tail' in Ka1-7 pointing towards left, whereas the tails in Ga1-7 and Ga19 point ahead. The figures in G are looking straight at us, but in K there cannot - for obvious reasons - be any eye-contact.

A comparison with a few other rongorongo texts shows the K glyphs are exceptional - the absence of heads etc presumably constitutes a Sign:


Sa5-429	Sa5-430	Sa5-431	Sa5-432


*Ga1-4 (68)**	Ga1-5	Ga1-6	Ga1-7


Bb8-10	Bb8-11	Bb8-12	Bb8-13

Ka1-3--4 appears to be the very opposite of Bb8-10--11:


*Ka1-1 (67)**	Ka1-2	Ka1-3	Ka1-4
