3. I have chosen to investigate the Mamari text for several reasons. First of all it is an intact text on a tablet of obviously different form. Secondly the text is not very long. Thirdly it is one of the 4 tablets which Metoro read for Bishop Jaussen.

And in addition we already know the Mamari text has a beginning similar in structure to that of H / P / Q:

I intend to postpone the readings of Metoro for as long as possible in order to better be able to first look at the structure of the text and its glyph signs.

We need to work through the whole text at least once before we can begin our study of the words of Metoro and what he may have meant.
