The
distance from
December 1 (335)
to June 12 (163)
is 365 + 163 -
335 = 193 days.
To the end of
the year there
are 30 days. And
700 + 30 = 730 =
2 * 365.
The
haka-ariki
type of glyph
could mean
'a dark night'
when a new king
will be
'alighted'.
December 1 is
255 days after
the March
equinox. This
number could
signify a night
similar to
Gregorian day
355 (December
21). 80 + 255 =
335 and 335 + 20
= 355.
Number plays
could
include e.g. 4
weeks (4-7
alluding to 4 *
7) and 700 - 92
weeks = 56 = 8
weeks.
Line Ca10
is beginning
with December 2
(16 * 16 = 256
days after March
21) where the manzil calendar
had reached day
200:

According to

is sweet

(where

could mean
'the

rain').
But

Wind is the
opposite of
rain - it
dries the
earth
instead of
wetting it.
Therefore
wind
ought to
characterize the 'year
in straw' in
contrast to
the 'year in
leaf'.

A dot in

rakau

Ca10-6
may have
indicated
a cardinal
point at the
beginning of
the 'year in
leaf' and
this was day 261

The
brilliant
star Vega in
Lyra was
rising
together
with Sun in
day 180 +
182 = 362.
The bird
with
only 1
wing (manu
kara
etahi)
could
refer to
Sun, who
in
contrast
to Moon
and
Venus
has a
steadily
shining single
'face'.
In
Ca10-26
his beak
is still
closed
for
the
opening
(vaha)
of the
new year has
yet to
come.
Maybe the 8
dark
nights
of Venus
(with 2
'wings')
-
Cb10-26
- are
illustrated
with a
pair
of
female birds
looking
up with
empty
eye-holes,
and thus
searching
in
vain:
