Maybe this perspective
can
be used to explain
why the inoino
glyphs are suddenly
drawn greater from
Az Zubana 1 (ruled
by Acubens). They
could be thriving
because the fruitful
rainy season had
arrived. Influence
from Cancer with its
Beehive (130.4)
could somehow have
reached across to
the other hard shell
constellation.
There
are 58 (= 2 * 29)
days from August 4 (haro
rima i ruga) up
to and including
October 1 where
possibly the month
Tua haro was
depicted:

November 29
can be
counted as
92 * 5 =
460. The
number of
glyphs on
the Tahua
tablet is
1334 = 46 *
29. November
30 is
Gregorian
day 334 (=
1334 -
1000).
200
days of
'wind' (matagi)
- from Ca3-7
(58) to
Ca10-3 (258)
- could simply not be
followed by
only 365 -
200 = 165
days of
vai.
| winter |

Instead
should summer be
longer than
winter.
Maybe there should
be 260 (=
460 - 200)
good days. The Rain God
should during
these 260
days release
all the
humidity
sucked up
during the
days when he
played the
role of Wind
God.
One way to
accomodate
260 sunny
days with
200 days 'of
wind' could
be to
'devaluate'
the latter
by half,
i.e. 260
+ 200 / 2 =
360. Such a
method could
have been
intended also
on the G
tablet, with
472 possibly corresponding
to 236
+ 236 / 2 =
354 days.
My arguments
are leaning on
number 29 and on
nakshatra stars.
Beyond the
'completed circle' (hao),
beyond Sheratan
14,
another season
would begin with
a pair of
months, viz. Vaitu
nui and
Vaitu poto.
The name Pleione
implies rain and

Perhaps,
therefore,
the month
Tara-hao
- if meaning
the point
where the
cycle is
finished -
is ending
with
November 28.

idea:

indicate
we

together
with
the

also

Maybe

the

The
