... The [tun]
glyph is nearly the same as that for
the month Pax (T549), except
that the top part of the latter is
split or divided by two curving
lines. Brinton, without referring to
the Pax glyph, identified the
tun glyph as the drum called
in Yucatec pax che (pax
'musical instrument'; che <
*te 'wooden). Yucatec pax
means 'broken, disappeared', and
Quiche paxih means, among
other things, 'split, divide, break,
separate'. It would seem that the
dividing lines on the Pax
glyph may have been used as a
semantic/phonetic determinative
indicating that the drum should be
read pax, not tun (cf.
de Gruyter 1946, p. 27). Thus, one
may expect that this glyph was used
elsewhere meaning 'to break' and
possibly for 'medicine' (Yuc. pax,
Tzel., Tzo. pox) ...

... It was 4
August 1968, and it was the feast
day of Saint Dominic, patron of
Santo Domingo Pueblo, southwest of
Santa Fe. At one end of the hot,
dusty plaza, a Dominican priest
watched nervously as several hundred
dancers arranged in two long rows
pounded the earth with their
moccasined feet as a mighty,
collective prayer for rain,
accompanied by the powerful baritone
singing of a chorus and the beat of
drums. As my family and I viewed
this, the largest and in some ways
the most impressive Native American
public ceremony, a tiny cloud over
the Jémez Mountains to the northwest
got larger and larger, eventually
filling up the sky; at last the
storm broke, and the sky was
crisscrossed by lightning and the
pueblo resounded with peals of
rolling thunder ... |

Buck. T. 1. Coconut palm. 2. Sign for

the fact that the bud end of a coconut
shell is used for spinning, both in the
sport of children and as a means of
applying to island life the practical
side of the doctrine of chances. Thus it
may be that in New Zealand, in latitudes
higher than are grateful to the coconut,
the divination sense has persisted even
to different implements whereby the
arbitrament of fate may be declared.

The idea of a pair of days (bissextum,
nuku erua) at the same place is evidently
visualized in Cb1-13.
In order to keep the balance straight it was
necessary to somewhere correct for the difference
between number of calendar days (365) and the
length of the synodic year (ca 365¼).
It was necessary to put the balance in order at Bharani / Zuben Elgenubi.
This idea will put light on the otherwise
mysterious difference between the pair of
illustrations by Hevelius below. A cycle will always
measure 2π and these half-circles must be in
balance. Spring equinox north of the equator
should be balanced against the spring equinox south
of the equator.
