All these details threaten to drown us. We ought
to once again look at the G tablet. Here there
is no necessity to increase the positions of the
stars with 1 step to be in parallel with the
glyphs, because I went directly from heliacal
stars to glyphs (via Aldebaran and Antares)
instead of from dates to glyphs.
My assumed bridge across from C to G was from
Cb1-6 to Gb7-30:
'September 25 (268) |
|
|
Cb1-6 |
Gb7-30 |
But then there was also Ca1-6 to consider, the
composition of which could be more 'in tune' with that in Gb7-30:
Side
a |
5 |
|
|
|
Ca1-6 |
Ca1-7 |
Ca1-8 |
Side
b |
5 |
|
|
|
Cb1-6 (398) |
Cb1-7 |
Cb1-8 |
There are plenty of feathers also in
Gb1-6--8, but evidently in a vertical rather than
horizontal context:
|
|
|
|
|
Gb1-1 |
Gb1-2 |
Gb1-3 |
Gb1-4 |
Gb1-5 |
|
|
|
|
|
Gb1-9 |
Gb1-10 |
Gb1-11 |
Gb1-12 |
Gb1-13 |
In Gb1-13 the head is turned
backwards as a consequence rotating 180º.
Inwards eating gestures (kai) in
front and at the back can
be contrasted with outward 'eyes' (mata)
in Cb1-13:
|
|
|
|
|
Cb1-9 |
Cb1-10 |
Cb1-11 (403) |
Cb1-12 |
Cb1-13 (405) |
hiko o tea - ka higa te ao
ko te henua ra ma te hoi atua |
manu rere - kua rere ga
manu - ki te ragi |
eaha te nuku erua |
In G
there is a pair of manu rere figures
(8 glyphs apart) and they have undulating
wings, as if the birds wanted to get rid of
water.
Gb1-10 clearly
demonstrates how the head high up in front has
disappeared. Cb1-10 clearly shows its
return. Many signs are apparently inverted.
For
instance has rakau in Gb1-8 not 2
upside down great feathers in front (as
rakau in Cb1-6) but 2 right side up
'canoes' at left.
Counting strings emerging from rakau
in Gb1-8 we will find 1 + (5 + 6) = 12. Counting
emerging strings in the 'tree' in Cb1-6 we
will
find 1 + 10 + 1 = 12.
Earlier I assigned heliacal star positions as follows:

By using the same method as

adding those which were listed later we can
rearrange stars and glyphs as follows:
