If we have use for the appellation
'cosmic number', then we also ought to have use for
'cosmic glyphs '- Ha6-125 and Ha6-135 (redmarked)
could be examples.
What should we read in these 20 glyphs? Maybe we
should compare with the central 20 on the opposite side?
They are located from Hb7-7 up to
and including Hb7-26:
b1-1 -- b1-126 |
48 (?) |
64 |
314 (?) |
b1-127 -- b2-13 |
16 |
b2-14 -- b7-6 |
250 |
b7-7-- b7-26 |
Q has ended, P continues. |
20 |
b7-27-- b10-49 |
193 (?) |
314 (?) |
b10-50-- b12-49 |
Also P has ended. |
121 (?) |
The logic seems to be that where the Q text ends, we
must have a break point also in the flow of glyphs in H
and P. Can we get support from the glyphs? No, at least
not immediately. Because behind the table above was another
kind of reasoning:
H and P continued (without Q) like this:

Immediately before these glyphs we have the end of a
long calendar (studied at level 5):
At the end of Small St
Petersburg Tablet (Q) we find a long
sequence of glyphs which contains six
variants of the six-ball glyph of
Matariki (6 * 6 = 36). In some places
the glyphs in this sequence is partly or
totally obliterated, but the parallel texts
of Large Santiago Tablet (H) and Large St
Petersburg Tablet (P) then allow us to get a
picture of the total text.
The structure of this
sequence of glyphs (in H / P / Q) I have
tried to make clear by dividing the text
into three parts :
1b - 6b |
six similar sequences of
glyphs where sun, Matariki
and other types of glyphs are
repeatedly mentioned |
1c - 6c |
six similar sequences of
glyphs where sun, darkness and
other types of glyphs are
repeatedly mentioned |
1a - 6a |
six different sequences of
glyphs which lie immediately
before the two types of
sequences above |
In the tables for 1b - 6b
and 1c - 6c which now will follow I have not
been able to put all similar types of glyphs
in the same vertical columns, because the
text sometimes moves similar types of glyphs
to different locations. But for the glyphs
for sun and Matariki I have strictly
ordered columns.
1a - 6a follows at a later
stage because these sequences are different
from each other, rather long and also
complex. |
The presumed break in the texts of H and P, because Q
ends, therefore are located at Hb6-33 (respectively at
Pb8-12), not at Hb7-7.
At Hb7-7, though, there is - supposedly - a break
because of an external parallel
sequence of glyphs involving Small Washington Tablet:

In R the immediately preceding glyphs indeed
indicate a kind of break:

|
|
|
|
Rb8-2 |
Rb8-3 |
Rb8-4 |
Rb8-5 |
Rb8-6 |
Rb8-7 |
The double-headed GD58 (manu kake)
birds may stand at cardinal points (of some kind). We
remember for instance new year in Keiti:

Eb5-30 |
Eb5-31 |
Eb5-32 |
Eb5-33 |

Eb6-1 |
Eb6-2 |
So, then, we may guess that the 20 glyphs Hb7-7--26
(nice 'cosmic' numbers: 7, 7 and 26) are central and
flanked by 314 glyphs on each side. To be cautious,
though, we should look at the glyphs immediately
preceding Hb7-7:
|
|
|
Hb6-52 (notice 6 and 52) is the 20th glyph
counted from Hb6-33, Hb7-6 is the 28th. Hb6-52
is looking backwards and Hb7-6 may be some kind of
henua (cfr Hb6-39 and Hb6-47). |

OK, there is nothing in the glyphs Hb6-33--Hb7-6 which
suggest they continue beyond Hb7-6. Let us therefore
list the 20 central glyphs:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hb7-7 |
Hb7-8 |
Hb7-9 |
Hb7-10 |
Hb7-11 |
Hb7-12 |

Hb7-15 |
Hb7-16 |

|
|
|
|
Hb7-20 |
Hb7-21 |
Hb7-22 |
Hb7-23 |
Hb7-24 |
Hb7-25 |
Hb7-26 |
It is
not easy to find something in common with the 20 central
glyphs on side a:
|
|
|
|
|
Ha6-120 |
Ha6-121 |
Ha6-122 |
Ha6-123 |
Ha6-124 |
|
|
|
|
|
Ha6-125 |
Ha6-126 |
Ha6-127 |
Ha6-128 |
Ha6-129 |

Ha6-130 |
Ha6-131 |
Ha6-132 |
Ha6-133 |
Ha6-134 |
|
|
|
|
|
Ha6-135 |
Ha6-136 |
Ha6-137 |
Ha6-138 |
Ha6-139 |
Looking ahead, beyond the 20 central glyphs on side b,
we have:
|
|
|
|
|
Hb7-27 |
Hb7-28 |
Hb7-29 |
Hb7-30 |
Hb7-31 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hb7-32 |
Hb7-33 |
Hb7-34 |
Hb7-35 |
Hb7-36 |
Hb7-37 |
Hb7-38 |
|
|
|
|
Hb7-39 |
Hb7-40 |
Hb7-41 |
Hb7-42 |
Nothing suggests that the 20 central glyphs should
continue beyond Hb7-26. Both the signs of maro
and number 26 imply 'end'.
To complete the investigation of Hb7-7 -- 16 we must
certainly also mention another external parallel, this
time with Aruku Kurenga:
