presents
another
imporant

We can compare with
another sun calendar (in Large Washington Tablet):

Sb2-8 contains at
left vai and at right the same kind 'arm' as those at
left and right of ragi:

In Gb3-25--26 yet another constellation with vai and the
double 'arms' occur:
|
The ordinal
number for
Eb3-7 is 40
(not yet
summer),
while Eb3-10
and Eb3-12
are inside
summer.
The border
line between
winter
(moon) and
summer (sun)
could be the
subject. Vai
with only 3
'flames' may
indicate
'not yet
summer' (or
'just after
summer'):

|

 |
|
Eb3-7 |
Eb4-26 |
In Eb3-10
moon is at
right, then
comes (in
Eb3-12) a
sign of
'erection',
followed by
('p.m.')
arms with
elbows:
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Eb3-10 |
Eb3-12 |
Eb3-14 |
Eb3-16 |
16 and
26 are
similar.
16 may
mean the
end of
'fire'
and 26
indicate
'ashes'.
The 16th
station
of the
kuhane
was
Poike
and the
26th
station
Hanga
Moria
One,
the
western
(evening) part of
the fine
beach at
Anakena.

The reason
for
including
the page
with the
calendar in
Large
Washington
Tablet is
the need to
have it
documented
in the glyph
dictionary.
I thought it
would be the
right place
here,
because
there seems
to be a kind
of link
between
ragi and
Sb2-8:

The 'early
morning',
when the new
'day' is
being born,
is a very
special
event.
... The
decoded
meaning of
the names
'the dark
rat' (i.e.,
the island
king as the
recipient of
gifts) and
'the
gathering
place of the
island
population'
(for the
purpose of
presenting
the island
king with
gifts) links
them with
the month 'Maro'
which is
June ...

I have here organized the structure to get 4 (= 8 / 2
periods at left), which results in twice 3 periods at
right.
I could alternatively had period 10 at bottom right,
with Sb2-6 on the same level as Sb2-16 and Sb2-26 (with
increasing column numbers). |

Sb2-11 |
Sb2-11 has a waning moon on the left shoulder,
exactly as Ca7-19 in the 4th period of the moon calendar:
I guess the meaning in Sb2-11 may be similar -
the time of waning has come. Whereas Ca7-14 is located beyond
the center of the moon calendar Sb2-11 lies before the center of
the calendar. In a calendar for the sun moon will seem to wane
when sun makes progress.
Given my guess is on target, Sb2-8 will be inside
the domain of the moon, or to be more precise in the last period
of the moon.
In Sb2-3 a flame seems to ignite at the top and I
remember Ga7-19:
A consequence seems to be that we should group
the periods pairwise:
