Well now, this seems to be an important point: Is Hb1-1 located at the beginning of 'winter', the beginning of 'summer' or what?
The rei glyph (Hb1-2) is significant: First we found GD24 and rei close together in Saturday. Then no rei in the Mamari moon calendar. Then rei located at the start of the year in G / K and at midsummer (several glyphs), but not at the end of these calendars. This gives us the idea of rei as an emblem used at the start (G / K; every half-year; accompanied by niu respectively by vai ora) or at the end (H / P; week; henua pu) of something. There is no rei in the week (nor in the 'planet' calendar) of Keiti and no rei in the moon calendar of Keiti, but in the calendar of the year: periods 5, 7, 18 and 24 (twice) we find rei. In my comments to period no. 5 I refer to a text in Mamari and from that we get the clue that Hb1-3 above has 'summer' at the bottom and 'winter' at the top and that we should read this arrangment so that the bottom part rules, i.e. we could in Hb1-1 be at the end of 'winter'. Cfr also Ea7-20. The parallel glyphs (to Hb1-3) in P and Q presumably affirm this:
Remember my earlier ideas about the half year straddling new year (Eb6-1)? |
