6. I also have to mention that one of my glyph types is named viri:
In the text of Tahua there are 4 viri glyphs and 3 of them have been used in order to create an overall structure based on number 29:
The number of glyphs in Tahua is 1334 and this number is 'explained' as 46 * 29 = 26 * 29 + 20 * 29. Number 26 refers to the front side and 20 is here a comparable number for the back side. Towards the end of the front side viri in Aa8-26 has a position comparable to that of atua mata viri in Eb7-12:
The connection betwee the viri type of glyph and number 29 (the dark night of Moon) is certain, confirmed from other texts. In G it is easy to recognize viri signs in the following 'statement':
7 months of 'summer' seem to end with Gb1-6, and then comes the back side of the text. The number of glyphs on the G tablet is 471, which means there are 261 beyond Gb1-6, and 261 ('one more' than 260) means the black cloth has covered the earth. Furthermore 9 * 29 = 261. The cycle of the G text measures out 16 lunar months and if 7 of them correspond to 'summer', then 9 must be on the back side. |
