Back to side b and the 3 kava glyphs: 116 Gb1-7 Gb4-33 1 118 23 6 55 29 Gb5-1 Gb5-25 Gb6-3 Gb7-31 Gb8-30 1 25 32 88 118 119 143 150 206 236 The ordinal numbers of the glyphs at first do not suggest anything special. They are disappointing both if we count from Gb1-7 or from Gb5-1. Gb6-3 is most promising - it has 'feathers' on both sides (like mauga in Aa8-31) and is very strangely designed. 6 * 3 = 18, 32 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 (5 'doublings'), and 150 = 30 * 5. The surrounding glyphs possibly support a kava sign in Gb6-3, but the pictures are hard to understand: Gb5-29 Gb6-1 Gb6-2 Gb6-3 Gb6-4 Gb6-5 Gb6-6 Gb6-7 The numbers are somewhat more easy to grasp (but on the other hand of more doubtful value). 6 * 2 = 12 and 6 * 6 = 36 for the two tagata glyphs might tell about the end of the sun year. 7 + 6 = 13 'feathers' in Gb6-3 may refer to the 13 * 28 = 364 nights in a moon year.

5 * 25	125	5 * 5 * 5	a triplet of fire hands
6 * 3	18	125 + 18 + 217 = 260	10 * 26 = 260
7 * 31	217	217 + 125 = 342	18 * 19 = 342

Now to more important matters. We need to repeat some parts of what was written earlier relating to the number of glyphs in the G text in order to begin to integrate them with the new perspective we have reached:

 

The complexities are enormous. It is a cosmos, a well-ordered whole. We must use our new 'maps' to see where Ga5-11 and Ga7-1 are located. Let us first repeat by looking at them:

 

Growing year
	11		11			102			103
Ga1-1		Ga1-13		Ga1-25	Ga1-26		Ga5-19	Ga5-20		Gb1-5
0		12		24	0		127	128		232
232 = 29 * 8

Descending year
	117			116
Gb1-6		Gb4-33	Gb5-1		Gb8-30
0		350	351		468
236 = 29.5 * 8

Light year
	102			103
Ga1-26		Ga5-19	Ga5-20		Gb1-5
1		104	105		209
208 = 8 * 26					0

Dark year
	117			116			24
Gb1-6		Gb4-33	Gb5-1		Gb8-30	Ga1-1
0		118	119		236	0
260 = 10 * 26

What shall we do with this piece of the puzzle?

29 is the key factor, therefore we look at our growing year map rather than the light year map (which is based on multiples of 26)::

Growing year
	11		11			102			103
Ga1-1		Ga1-13		Ga1-25	Ga1-26		Ga5-19	Ga5-20		Gb1-5
0		12		24	0		127	128		232
232 = 29 * 8

None of the divisions drawn in the map is a multiple of 29. If we introduce 5 * 29 = 145 into the map, there will be 3 * 29 = 87 glyphs remaining. 145 + 87 = 232.

Furthermore, Ga1-26 has been assigned a 'zero-value' in our map, it cannot be counted. But with a slight adjustment we can put the piece right where it belongs:

What made me realize this is the distribution: 48 between Ga5-11 and Ga7-1 is immediately seen as compatible with 94 + 2 (the viri glyphs) = 96. One third (2 * 24) of the glyphs lies between the two viri, which are drawn exactly alike - to induce us to count the glyphs between them.

We can coordinate the first 24 glyphs (Ga1-2--Ga1-25) with the 144 arriving immediately beyond Ga1-26.

First 6 glyph lines
	11		11			94		48
Ga1-1		Ga1-13		Ga1-25	Ga1-26		Ga5-11		Ga7-1
0		12		24	0		119		168
24 + 144 = 168 = 7 * 24

Remarkably 168 is equal to the number of hours in a week. Earlier 168 was regarded as one of the key numbers in the calendar of E and we have also found it in K:

It is not advisable - at this stage - to try to integrate all aspects of 168 into the ongoing discussion, it must wait. Let us just try to digest some of the numerical facts:

168 = 2 * 84 = 4 * 42 = 8 * 21

168 = 3 * 56 = 6 * 28 = 12 * 14 = 24 * 7

168 = 150 + 2 * 9

In a Mayan calendar 168 was interpreted as the distance in days from one zodiacal sign to the next (on the opposite side of the sky). 168 + 168 = 336 = 365 - 29. With 168 = 6 * 28, the idea seems to be 12 months 'in the light'  + 29 nights 'in the dark'. I have borrowed the book (Kelley) to look closer on the argumentation.

There are 8 + 8 = 16 glyphs lines on the G tablet. 168 measures the number of glyphs in the first 6 glyph lines. We can estimate the approximate number of glyphs on each side of the tablet as 8 / 6 * 168 = 224:

 

Both 5 and 18 are related to the sun, not to the moon. But if we calculate an estimate for 10 glyph lines (alluding to the death of the sun) we of course will reach 280 (because 168 = 6 * 28).

This little exercise has 'proven' that 168 in the first 6 glyph lines may be related to 28 rather than to 24:

 

First 6 glyph lines (28)
	11		11			94		47
Ga1-1		Ga1-13		Ga1-25	Ga1-26		Ga5-11		Ga6-29	Ga7-1
0		12		24	25		120		168	169
	168 = 6 * 28									13 * 13

Ga1-26 is here counted, but we can count Ga1-26 also if we use 24:

First 6 glyph lines (24)
	11		11			94		47
Ga1-1		Ga1-13		Ga1-25	Ga1-26		Ga5-11		Ga6-29	Ga7-1
0		12		24	25		120		168	169
	24				4 * 24			2 * 24		13 * 13
	168 = 7 * 24

We now add these maps to our earlier ones, based on 26 (light / dark year) and 29 / 29.5 (growing / descending year). Of the two new ones the map with 24 seens to be integrating viri in Ga6-29 and Ga7-1 better than the one with 28.

I have not tried to integrate these viri into the maps for the light or growing years. Let us only note that they are not located in the descending year (nor in the dark year). I think that is an important fact, viri is in the light and kava in the dark.
