Tahua (A, RR 1)

I have divided the text into glyphs and labeled them. Similarities between glyph sequences in different places in the text are copied and put in parallel with each other in order to make comparisons easy. I call such sequences internal parallels.

In the same way similarities between glyph sequences in Tahua and sequences in other tablets have also been put into parallel, external parallels.

An overview shows how the internal and external parallels are distributed in the text.

And in addition - as we have Bishop Jaussen's notations from the readings of Tau'a Ure of this tablet - I have tried to show what words Metoro used at the different glyphs. Often used words which easily are paired with certain glyphs or parts of glyphs I have painted red.

The text is very long (1,334 glyphs) and I have therefore divided it into many pages. By this means future updatings with new data and findings will be facilitated.

Following the reading of Metoro we start with what usually is designed as side b. But that does not mean that the text is beginning there. Based on the distribution of the glyphs it is obvious that side b follows after side a.
