TRANSLATIONS
In the series of pages from the link 'revise the model' we have now arrived at:
Fishes and birds represent the sea respectively the sky. We humans live in between. E-G are therefore in contrast to C-D. Both have 12 glyhs, yet arranged differently. Line a2 has 4 'periods' (A-D) and line a3 also 4 'periods' (E-H). The 'human domain' starts earlier than with C-D, at least already with Ka2-9:
If we count 14 glyphs to the 'human domain', there will be 22 left over (of the 36) for 'sea and sky' (equal to the ordinal number of the last glyph in D). Number 22 has not so far got any attention from us. It probably, therefore, is a construct of mine. In reality it is the sum of 8 and 14; the 8 glyphs at the beginning of line a2 and the 14 at the end of line a3. The table can be simplified into:
A' maybe describes phenomena which are neither belonging to the human domain nor to the domains of fishes and birds. In Polynesian mythology the beginning is not the concrete creations but 'first principles':
Presumably the 'human domain' refers to gods who arrived before fishes and birds. The distinction between gods and kings is negligible. Ka2-8 may indicate a beginning, because that is the structure in the calendar of the week, e.g. in Sunday according to P:
That could hardly mean a division of A' into 7 + 1 glyph, but rather imply a connection between Ka2-8 and the following glyphs in B':
There is, though, no reason to change what has been written in the page of the glyph dictionary - better explanations probably will arrive later. This one was just what emerged from a specific point of view (sea and sky contra earth). Furthermore, the 26 glyphs (C-H) - we have learnt - are commensurate with the two halves of 'summer' (also each with 26 glyphs). Disregarding numbers, the given explanation seems anyhow valid, toga (etc) marks the group C-G: ... The 10 glyphs at the beginning of line Ka2 is a separate group, while the 26 following presumably are to be regarded as 13 pairs, each pair ending with toga, ihe tau or similar ...
I have redmarked the glyphs with fingers or 'feathers', the 'fire' indicators. There are 5 such (a reasonable number for fingers). Ka2-22 ('rangi meamea') is in the center (and also number 6 of these glyphs; 2+2+2 = 6). Yet, if we count the number of 'feathers' we find 3 + 4 = 7. In Hiva everything is reversed, which could explain why the number of 'feathers' agree with the number of glyphs which are not red, 3 in the 1st group (C-D) and 4 in the 2nd group (E-G). This indicates that the two groups belong together and the number of glyphs is 24 (12 + 12). Next page:
The inversion (from Ka4-7 to Kb1-10) is illustrated also by the numbers: 41 - 14 respectively 74 - 47. One wonders how many hidden clues there really are in the text! Beyond 41 comes 42, an interesting number. Beyond 47 comes 48, another interesting number. We should look at Ka4-8:
My earlier ideas about the '7th flame of the sun' appears to be justified. The conjunction between sun and moon (after 420 nights) is a maitaki glyph.
Maybe the three islets off Orongo are alluded to, the 1st kuhane station. Ka4-9 may illustrate the union between the sun and moon 'birds'. The ordinal numbers (9 and 16) agree with the two cut-marks across the henua 'leg' in Ka4-10. The old season is 'dead'. Next period is also in agreement to judge from the open feet in Ka4-12. And then follows a further confirmation in the oval of Ka4-13, the cycle is complete:
An inversion means upside down. At a solstice the old sun (having reigned for half a year) is falling on his face. He may have been hit by a spear (vero). The war between summer and winter at the equinoxes also involves (presumably) spears. At those times there are inversions too: the summer 'boat' being flopped around and we inside suddenly being in the dark; and in spring the 'boat' flips again back into the 'living position'. The two main seasons are summer and winter. To change from one of them to the other is a major work, and now is the time to learn more about Ru. |
