Once again, why is high summer not in the center between mago and 'humpback'?
*43 at *Kb2-15 surely must mean 'beyond the cycle'. Therefore there will be 16 glyphs (8 weeks = 56 days) between high summer and the following 'humpback season'. Similarly, beyond Ka4-15 up to high summer there will be 8 glyphs (4 weeks = 28 days). Inside the season marked by the two bent henua glyphs there may once have been (some glyphs are gone) 8 + 26 + 16 = 50 glyphs = 25 weeks = 175 days, not far from half a year. If we are to extend the period to reach 180 days, we must add glyphs at left, I think. *43 is a clear message not go further at right. Instead of 50 glyphs (25 weeks) we ought to have 52 glyphs (26 weeks) - giving 182 days for summer. One solution is to add the two glyphs preceding Ka4-16:
Still, the half-year of summer has 'high summer' earlier than in the center:
I think we should stop here (at least for the moment). I will now change the text in the first page of tara in the glyph dictionary. I only have to delete the line with 'spring equinox' and 'autumn equinox':
Summer may include also Ka4-14--15, but I cannot change that part (in the glyph dictionary) without motivating it. |
