2. The Mamari text is complete, with twice 14 = 28 glyph lines, presumably a Sign pointing to the 4 week long month, a part of the 364 day long year. 364 / 28 = 13. The number of glyphs is 392 + 348 = 740:
392 = 14 * 28, but 348 is not divisible by 7. Instead 348 = 12 * 29. The front side of the text is on side a and side b has its back side. In the G text there are probably 472 (= 16 * 29½) days instead of the expected 'great month' with 14 synodical months. 14 * 29½ = 413 = 392 + 14 * (29½ - 28). 12 * 29½ = 354 = 348 + 12 (29½ - 29). There are no vacant glyph spaces ('singularities) like those in the texts of e.g. H / P / Q. There are no such in the G text either, but a double-count of Gb8-30, which has a rather similar effect. But there is a hole right through the tablet (not as in K a hole through a pair of lines on one side of the tablet). This hole goes through the wood between lines a1 and a2 on the front side respectively between lines b13 and b14 on the back side. I cannot see any direct effects of the hole on the text. However, possibly the hole has not only the obvious practical function of hanging the tablet on a nail on the wall, but also an esoteric function as a Sign. If we add 1 to the number of glyphs on each side, then the sum will be 742 = 14 * 53. The hole could have a Sign value for reading the text. Where there is a hole there could be a birth or a portal of exit. If the hole was used for hanging the tablet on a wall, then it ought to have side a towards the wall and not visible. Otherwise it would be hanging upside down. This is no problem when side b is visible, because the hole will then be at the top of the text. There is another tablet with a similar hole, viz. Aruku Kurenga (B). Also this tablet has its hole located low down on side a and high up on side b. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
