As I have a feeling that
this 'thin though vast sheet
of ice' may reflect
important things I will take
the opportunity, make the
effort, to document these
two parallel sequences of
glyphs in P and H.
You can reach the result by this hyperlink. I have tried to point out in what this 'imagined affinity' lies by comments. But special mention must be made as regards Pb9-33:
Open at both ends is this henua. The sun is gliding through the crucial channel between the years. A thought which has struck me: When you count 360 degrees, e.g. by marking a circle on the ground and around its perimeter dig 360 small holes into which a stick can be put, then what will you do when the year ticks 5 days more? The stick will be placed into the next circular round before the new year has arrived for real. I think this problem might explain why henua is leaning in a few cases, a reminder that the stick has to be relocated to create the needed straightness. While you relocate the stick - as if the clock has gone too fast - order is temporarily dissolved. A clock which moves too fast does it all the time. Those 5 / 6 extra nights in a year are in reality spread out over the whole year. For those 5 extra days the 'clock' should be adjusted each 73rd day. 365 / 5 = 73, time to go back to the 'spacial day' no. 72. That is enought to explain why in myths all over the world number 72 is very prominent. And I remember that tough riddle about the five sailors who were shipwrecked and forced to live on a limited amount of coconuts on an island, how many nuts?
