Disorder it is not, but it is complicated. Order can arise only by growth, disorder only by its opposite. I decided to see if there were any 'canoe legs' in G. The were no such, but I noticed a similar type:
All these glyphs have 'past' (left) legs which are very compressed. But their necks compensate by being very long. Redmarked glyphs also have the 'past' leg above the knee concave, while the bluemarked ones have straight legs above their knees. Only two glyphs are on side b. The en face tagata glyphs in G have three different neck lengths, exemplified here:
The longest neck variant does not exist without compressed left leg. If sun travels in a canoe, the inside of the canoe will always stay out of the water, while the canoe revolves a full cycle around the earth. This is the primary movement observed each day. The seasonal movement of the sun is different. During summer sun and his surrounding stars (visible by insight) - i.e. his 'house' - stand high in the sky. Ga4-1 can be an image of this situation. Then earth slowly moves around the sun and the perspective changes. Sun will sink and his 'house' of stars will change. At winter solstice sun stands at his lowest. He has not turned around to stand on his head, he is still standing right side up, but his stature has diminished. Maybe his feet have sunk down into the ground, as if the ground no longer was dry and firm?
Let us continue with the 2nd group:
The first 12 of these 18 glyphs should be studied together, because they are located together. We begin, though, with the 6 glyphs in the last line, and backwards with Bb5-20 and Bb5-22 (which belong together and have big 'bulbous legs'). Immediately it becomes complicated, because Bb5-20 and Bb5-22 belong to a group with 7 glyphs, and this group constitutes the 1st of 8 such groups (or the 2nd of 9 such groups depending on how the definition is done):
Bb3-36 therefore should be studied together with Bb5-20 and Bb5-22. Furthermore: Bb5-34 belongs together with Bb3-36 because of its 'mirrored legs' compared with the other 7 glyphs. Bb6-6 is special with only one 'eye' and the left 'limb' of the Y-sign broader. Bb7-24 is special because of the short maro sign at the top. Bb5-26 is special with 6 maro 'feathers'. The remaining 4 have 20 maro feathers together and appear to be 'normal':
In this complicated maze of signs we can only back off and return to our mechanical method of searching for haga rave glyphs:
There are no haga rave glyphs in my catalogue in the interval Bb3-31--41. Henua ora in Bb3-39 and Metoro's words at Bb3-41 (mai tae vere hia - ki te pito o te henua) seem, though, to tell about the end. We have not studied the viri glyphs in B earlier. Therefore I have made a short excerpt of those glyphs which, I judge, are most likely to be or allude to viri:
We must count:
All four main viri candidates are located on side b:
763 - 532 = 231 = 8 * 29 - 1. Obviously we must count from Bb3-33 up to and including Bb9-16:
The longer distance will then be 927 - 232 = 695 = 5 * 139, whatever that means. Maybe 5 * 140 - 5? We can analyze the ordinal numbers:
So far not much elegance has been revealed compared to what we have found earlier, I think. But by slowly contemplating the numbers the perceived order will grow. Bb3-33 (with a triplet of 3:s) surely must generate 99 (a Venus sign). The ordinal number of this glyph from the beginning of side a is 532 = 19 * 28, which looks like a harmonious blend of sun (19) and moon (28). The immediately preceding glyph Bb3-32 (kava), can be imagined as refering to half the number of the prolific days of summer (because 3 * 32 = 96). Then the thought arrives that 144 = 84 + 60. Adding 144 and 96 we get 240, a nice number. 927 - 240 = 687 = 3 * 229, which does not seem promising. That 532 (the ordinal number of Bb3-33) minus 232 (the distance to Bb9-16) equals 300 could be coincidental, or it could be meaningful. 927 - 232 = 695 = 5 * 139 does not move me. 531 = 10 * 53 + 1 is interesting, because it means there are 10 * 53 glyphs before Bb3-32. And, we have learnt, 53 is important:
The double-viri sign in Bb11-31--32 is also connected to 29, because 870 = 29 * 30.
If we count from the beginning of side b instead of from the beginning of side a, we find that 506 (the number of glyphs on side b) - 232 - 106 = 168. In other words, from Bb11-31 to the end of side b and then up to Bb3-33 there are 168 glyphs. This surely is a message for us from the creator of the text. It ought to mean that the text at the end of side b is followed by the text at beginning of side b (not at the normally beginning of side a). We now understand why there are 10 glyph lines on side a but 12 on side b - it is to focus our attention. We must find the midpoint, where a new year is born. 13 (b11) + 45 (b12) = 58 = 2 * 29.5. The message says 2 months from Bb11-31 to the end of side b:
168 - 58 = 110 glyphs at the beginning of side b will follow, which means (of course) all those glyphs up to the viri glyph Bb3-33:
84 - 58 = 26 glyphs at the beginning of side b are needed to reach new year. We can reformulate our table:
Summer time on side b is described as twice 13 * 13 glyphs long and winter as 12 * 14 glyphs long, surely a harmonious picture, indicating that summer is twice as long as winter - that sun has two of his wives present here during our summer and only one abroad (in Hiva). |
