In Keiti, coming before the calendar of the year, I have found 4 more half-open / completely open henua.

I think this new find is potentially very important for deciphering the rongorongo texts. The table below therefore gives a preliminary 'translation' and we must now make a detour to check if these 'translations' are reasonable and what more information may be gained (see the following pages).
