These two glyphs are very similar, you could say identical. How come? I search in Tahua. There are about 35 glyphs of this general sort. Most of them definitely do not look like this. A little group of glyphs are, though, somewhat similar or identical:
All are located on side b, the 'dark' side of Tahua starting with summer solstice. Next I search in Mamari. There are only four glyphs of this general sort in Mamari and of these not one (except Ca5-12) is similar to Ab8-38. I did not see the similarity between Ab8-38 and Ca5-12 until I had found the similarity between Ab8-43 and Ca5-20:
This is an unusual type of glyph (possibly a variant of GD83) and therefore I tried to find parallel glyphs in the environment. But only Ab8-38 and Ca5-12 were definitely parallel. |
