Once again. In addition to a calendar based on lunar double-months we can perceive a calendar using 60 days:

waxing becomes pregnant
36		139					30
	Ca2-11 (37)		Ca7-9 (177)	Ca7-10	Ca7-11	Ca7-12 (180)
*177 = 3 59**
*3 60 = 180**
*210 = 14 15**

waning becomes pregnant
	116				62
Ca8-12 (211)		Ca12-12 (328)	Ca12-13	Ca12-14
*118 = 2 59**
*2 60 = 120**
*182 = 13 14**

5 * 60 = 300 and 5 * 59 = 295. Counting in double-months makes it possible to count 1 day's difference per double-month.

Mars at Ca12-14 has only a string around, sun is not present. 12 * 14 = 168 seens to be correlated with 182 (= 13 * 14) and with 210 (= 15 * 14). 168 + 182 + 210 = 560 = 20 * 28.

It ought to be waxing and waning Sun which is described on side a. Although Sun is only one - the other half of his time he is not present but on the other side of the earth - his wife moon may have a male champion at her side in form of Saturn.

300 + 125 = 425 = 17 * 25. Or rather 295 + 125 = 420 = 21 * 20 would be a better measure.

The measure 182, from tagata rere in Ca8-12 to the end of side a, ought to have a counterpart earlier. If we count from Ca1-1 we will reach 182 with Ca7-14:

3
	Ca7-8	Ca7-9 (177)	Ca7-10	Ca7-11	Ca7-12 (180)

	Ca7-13	Ca7-14 (182)	Ca7-15	Ca7-16

We have already studied Ca7-14 (at hua):

... Hua means 'fruit' and this is also the meaning of the hua glyph type. If the 'fruit' is hanging at the opposite side (at left) the meaning will be reversed. The opposite of 'fruit', i.e. the new generation in form of for instance a son, is the old generation - the 'father':


Gb4-30	Ca7-14
new generation	old generation

These two examples are each drawn with two 'units' (in contrast to what we can see in Ha1-30 and Gb3-23). It means the two 'generations' are 'different individuals' (which we in our own culture take for granted). But in Polynesia the old generations still live on in the members of the current generation.

When - as in Ca7-14 and Gb4-30 - there are two 'units', it must therefore mean that the 'son' is of another sex. In other words, the moon shapes in these two glyphs depict females.

Spring is ending after 182 days and a waxing moon is in front.

392 - 364 = 28:
