6. We can see in space but in order to see in time we must use our memories. What we remember we can see with our 'insight'. Looking forward in time is not possible. What we can do is to use our memory banks to see what might happen, what happened earlier in similar circumstances. Enough said about that. We must return to business:
It has been complained that the rongorongo texts flow along without any commas, full stops or other marks to help the reader find the 'sentences'. I have now introduced number 16 as such a sign, which is a valuable contribution to understanding the texts. (I will not try to 'prove' my statements, because I have already done so - as far as such is possible - in An Outline Dictionary of Rongorongo Glyphs. And it cannot be done in just a few pages.) Whether Eb7-16 functions as a full stop or a comma is a question of less importance for the momemt. But we should notice that if we count the glyph lines from Ea1 up to and including Eb7 the result is 9 + 7 = 16, which implies Eb7-16 is not just a 'comma', it is a 'full stop'. Nothing is arbitrary or random in the rongorongo texts, their creators strove after perfection. |
