Once again. Number 19 could be associated with the month
which did not stretch to day 19 * 20 = 380 but was cut
short earlier, viz. after 18 * 20 + 5 days counted from the
beginning of the Sun year.
... The last (19th) haab month
(Vayeb - or as spelled in the picture: Uayeb)
had only 5 days, and its highest number therefore became
4. Otherwise the highest number in a month was 19.
Months were defined in the haab calendar, not in
the tzolkin ...
... The Gilbert Islanders are
Polynesians, having emigrated, according to their
traditions, from Upolu, Samoa, which they look
upon as te buto (Maori pito), the Navel of
the World. They never counted the nights of the Moon
beyond the twentieth, so far as Grimble was able to
ascertain, and in the vagueness of their lunar calendar
bore no resemblance to their Micronesian neighbors of
the Carolines ... One of the names for east, Makai-oa,
was said to be the name of a far eastern land, not an
island, which their navigators had visited in ancient
times. Tradition called this great land 'the containing
wall of the sea, beyond the eastern horizon, a continous
land spreading over north, south, and middle, having a
marvelous store of all sorts of food, high mountains and
rivers'. It was also called Maia-wa (wa
being 'space, distant'). This is a clear reference to
ancient voyages to the American coast from which the
Polynesians are thought to have introduced the sweet
potato into the Pacific area. The similarity of Maia
to Maya may be more than a coincidence ...
If we should assign yam variety number 33 (not mentioned
by king Ma'eha) to be at heliacal Mira (right ascension
day *33 at the time of rongorongo) we ought to place
variety number 19 (not mentioned by king Ma'eha)
at day *19:

'The

what it was (the variety of yam), that which was
(being put) in the basket for the benefit of
Teke, until the basket was completely filled
with yams (ka titi ro).
They tied up the first basket [he here te

(? pera no, pera no) until all (?
