I must say I am a bit disappointed with the creator of P. Or have I failed to find the intended structure?

Maybe P was created too late, when the power no longer was there, at the downfall of the old culture?

The glyph lines seem to be very intact (although the tablet is not fluted) compared with those in H and Q (both of which are fluted).

And then we have the idiosyncrasy of eyes in the manu rere glyphs:

Maybe the holes where the eyes should be indicate the loss of life of the ancient bird culture?

Let us compare with H as regards the harmony rule of odd numbers of glyphs in even glyph lines and the reverse:

a1	50	b1	*51 (?)
a2	58	b2	48
a3	52	b3	47
a4	56	b4	51
a5	59	b5	57
a6	*69?	b6	54
a7	*51?	b7	50
a8	*54?	b8	*54 (?)
a9	*53?	b9	65
a10	*67?	b10	67
a11	*58?	b11	53
a12	*21?	b12	*51?
sum	*648?	sum	*648?

Possibly 14 'wrong' glyph numbers out of the 24 indicate that also the creator of H was ignorant of the rule, or ignored it. Although only a few glyph lines in Q are intact the rule does not seem to apply there either. P is no worse than H and Q as regards this.

Is there any other number puzzle to be observed in how the glyphs are distributed according to glyph line? In Tahua there are 6 * 84 = 504 glyphs in 6 glyph lines on both sides:

line	glyphs	line	glyphs
a1	90	b1	82
a2	85	b2	85
a3	76	b3	77
a4	82	b4	80
a5	83	b5	80
a6	84	b6	92
a7	85	b7	84
a8	85	b8	84
sum	670	sum	664
red numbers	504	red numbers	504
difference	166	difference	160

And the creator of Tahua may have been aware of and used the rule of even numbers in odd line numbers and the reverse. I have redmarked those glyph lines which do not obey the rule and - suspiciosly - exactly half of the glyph lines on each side break the rule. The blue glyph lines have ordinal numbers (1, 2, 3, 8, 1, 2, 5, and 7) which add up to 29.

The red glyph lines (4, 5, 6, 7, 3, 4, 6, and 8) add up to 43. 29 + 43 = 72 = 360 / 5 - one tenth of 360 on each side. Yes, by summing the natural numbers from 1 up to and including 8 we reach 36. No wonder 8 is the perfect number. Did the creator of Tahua intend to teach us that?

What happens if we add ordinal numbers for glyph lines in P, the red ones for instance:

a1	53	b1	25
a2	59	b2	36
a3	62	b3	39
a4	61	b4	56
a5	80	b5	50
a6	60	b6	59
a7	58	b7	63
a8	55	b8	65
a9	42	b9	50
a10	36	b10	56
a11	33	b11	*60
sum	599	sum	*559

1 + 6 + 10 + 11 = 28, and 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 10 = 27 for side b. 28 + 27 = 55, not remarkable.

Blue glyph lines: 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 38, and for side b: 5 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 11 = 39. 38 + 39 = 77, not remarkable.

Adding 1 + 2 + ... + 11 = 66, not remarkable.

Is it possible, then, to identify multiples of 84?

a1	53	b1	25
a2	59	b2	36
a3	62	b3	39
a4	61	b4	56
a5	80	b5	50
a6	60	b6	59
a7	58	b7	63
a8	55	b8	65
a9	42	b9	50
a10	36	b10	56
a11	33	b11	*60
sum	599	sum	*559
*6 84**	504	*6 84**	504
difference	95	difference	55

No binome adds up to 84. But 95 + 55 = 150 may be significant (because we have seen calendars with 150).

59 + 36 = 95 (like 59 reversed). The line numbers on side a are 2 + 10 = 12 and on side b 2 + 6 = 8, together 20. 59 and 36 are located only in even numbered glyph lines, and their sums (12, 8, 20) also indicate a conscious mind. 95 = 19 * 5.

1158 - twice 95 = 968 = 88 * 11. We remember 888:

	888		44
Pb10-1		Pb5-19

But why should we deduct twice 95? The difference on side b is only 55. 1158 - 150 = 1008 = 12 * 84. Why is there only 55 on side b? The physical limits of the tablet is the cause.

We try with H:

a1	50	b1	*51 (?)
a2	58	b2	48
a3	52	b3	47
a4	56	b4	51
a5	59	b5	57
a6	*69?	b6	54
a7	*51?	b7	50
a8	*54?	b8	*54 (?)
a9	*53?	b9	65
a10	*67?	b10	67
a11	*58?	b11	53
a12	*21?	b12	*51?
sum	*648?	sum	*648?
*6 84**	504	*6 84**	504
difference	*144?	difference	*144?

Twice 12 * 12 seems to be significant. But where are they distributed?

Summing up ordinal numbers 1 + 2 + ... + 12 we reach 78 = 3 * 26 (or for both sides together 6 * 26).

It seems possible that A, H, P and Q (also with 22 glyph lines) define glyph sequences containing 12 * 84 = 1008 glyphs evenly distributed with one half on side a (504) and one half on side b (504).

And then (suddenly P becomes interesting again) reducing 1008 with 225 we have 783 = 3 * 261 = 27 * 29.


Pb6-14	Pb7-36	Pb8-37	Pb9-21	Pb9-24	Pb9-29	Pb9-33	Pb10-1
*225 = 9 25**

1158 = 150 + 504 + 504 = 2 * 75 + 6 * 84 + 6 * 84.

1008 - 225 = 783 = 3 * 261, i.e. 150 ought to be outside the distance Pb6-14--Pb10-1.

Maybe the 3 viri are there to suggest 3 * 261 = 783? What number should we multiply by 3 because of the triplet Pb6-14, Pb7-36 and Pb8-37? 24 is the ordinal number of the middle viri and 36 is the ordinal number of the middle glyph in the triplet.

Pb6-14	Pb9-21	*27 resp 37*
Pb7-36	Pb9-24	*312 resp 2 * 12**
Pb8-37	Pb9-29	36+1 resp 28+1

Maybe 37 is the sun equivalent of 29? 9 * 37 = 333 (in the vein of 888, I think).

9 * 29 = 261 and 9 * 25 = 225. Does it mean we will find 3 * 225 = 675 (in harmony with 3 * 261 = 783)?

1158 - 675 = 483 (= 3 * 161 = 21 * 23 = 7 * 69). 161 is similar to 261. Here we must stop.
