Yc1-10

TRANSLATIONS

Next page (with underpages) - in the series of pages from 'shown to be true' - referring to the statement that the reversed vaha kai in *Yc1-3 is a sign of birth:

From the excursion into the mysteries of calendar I we will now move on to calendar II. It has 24 glyphs:

II	Yc	Yd	Sum
	10	8	18
	6	-	6
	16	8	24

Yd has been relabelled as line Yc3 by me. The text of calendar II can be presented in the following - only preliminary - structure (and I have once again eliminated the asterisks from the glyph labels in order to save space):


Yc1-1	Yc1-2	Yc1-3	Yc1-4	Yc1-5	Yc1-6	Yc1-7
			3 + 7 = 10
Yc1-8	Yc1-9	Yc1-10	3 + 7 = 10
						6
Yc2-1	Yc2-2	Yc2-3	Yc2-4	Yc2-5	Yc2-6	6

Yc3-1	Yc3-2	Yc3-3	Yc3-4	Yc3-5	Yc3-6	Yc3-7
	8
Yc3-8	8

I assume the creator of the Y text has been consistent and I have therefore 'coloured planets' anew from the beginning of each glyph line.

A discussion of calendar II necessitates a few pages.

Experience tells us we should have kiore+henua glyphs in last position, and my first move to 'improve' the structure of calendar II is based on that knowledge:


Yc2-2	Yc2-3	Yc2-4	Yc2-5	Yc2-6	Yc3-1

Yc3-2	Yc3-3	Yc3-4	Yc3-5

Yc3-6	Yc3-7	Yc3-8

I have also observed signs of 'ending in nothing' (Yc2-1 and Yc3-8) respectively 'beginning from nothing' (Yc2-2).

Vaha kai in Yc1-3 is reversed, and then follow 4 rising fishes. They have inverted henua ora signs up front, which confirms the interpretation of reversed vaha kai as meaning 'birth'.

Next we can try to move the short sequence Yc1-1--2 to the end and to assign 20 days for each glyph:


Yc1-3	Yc1-4	Yc1-5	Yc1-6	Yc1-7	Yc1-8	Yc1-9

Yc1-10	Yc2-1 (180)


Yc2-2	Yc2-3	Yc2-4	Yc2-5	Yc2-6	Yc3-1

Yc3-2	Yc3-3	Yc3-4	Yc3-5	Yc3-6 (400)

Yc3-7	Yc3-8	Yc1-1	Yc1-2 (480)

In a cycle you can begin anywhere, and we have seen that in several texts the end of the back side is connected with the beginning of the front side . Here, for once, I have manipulated the text in the opposite direction, moving the beginning of the text to its end.

A positive effect of this operation is that Yc3-6 now will be the 20th glyph, which agrees with the idea behind the henua glyph type and also with the fact that it is a 'Monday' (and Moon defines limits in time).

480 was found to be a possible end in calendar I and here again that number comes at the end. Although calendar I has 42 glyphs and calendar II only 24 glyphs the length of the time cycles mapped by the two calendars can anyhow be the same, because in calendar I the 18 glyphs at the beginning have been counted as 10 days and the 24 following glyphs have been assigned 5 days each. 18 * 10 + 24 * 5 = 180 + 120 = 300, and then the number is increased to 480 by cause of another 180 days (spring) being in the past (before calendar I is beginning).

The glyphs of calendar II seem to be divided in at least two groups. Possibly, though, there are three groups:

*9 20 = 180**
	Yc1-3	Yc1-4	Yc1-5	Yc1-6	Yc1-7	Yc1-8	Yc1-9

	Yc1-10	Yc2-1

*12 20 = 240**
	Yc2-2	Yc2-3	Yc2-4 (240)	Yc2-5	Yc2-6	Yc3-1

	Yc3-2	Yc3-3	Yc3-4 (360)	Yc3-5	Yc3-6	Yc3-7

*3 20 = 60**

	Yc3-8	Yc1-1	Yc1-2 (480)

Mercury in Yc2-1 identifies where the first 180 days are ending. He also appears in Yc3-1, where the day number is 300, maybe alluding to how Sun has reached the end of high summer (when we count 10 * 30 beginning at winter solstice). A crack is seen in his 'windpipe' at right.

Koti in Yc3-4 is at day 360. Saturn is the obvious choice of planet. Saturn also rules ua at Yc2-4 and 250 occurs in the middle of the ua 20-day period.

Winter solstice possibly occurs at Yc3-7 (where the front 'bar of light' is sloping down).

The 'windpipe' idea came to me from the Egyptian sema sign:

Two lungs (at bottom) are united with a vertical wind pipe. The horzontal bar is not explained by Wilkinson, but I believe it is a kind of stone plug (papa the Polynesians would say) keeping the 'wind pipe' closed. If it was opened, then water would rush out (with all the mullet fishes).

If winter solstice is at Yc3-7 (Mars, 420, and with 3 * 7 = 21), then the other such hahe glyph could also be there, alternatively be at summer solstice:


Yc3-2	Yc3-3	Yc3-4	Yc3-5	Yc3-6	Yc3-7 (420)


Ya1-1	Ya1-2	Ya1-3 (270)	Ya1-4	Ya1-5	Ya1-6

420 maybe should be reduced to 300, because the 2nd group of 12 glyphs maybe should be reduced by half. 180 + 120 = 300.

In G the same method of reduction could decrease 472 days to 236 + 118 = 354 = 12 * 29.5.

The month should be counted only as 20 days. That is, the first 10 should have their full value, but the following 20 should be devaluated by half.

In calendar II we could have 180 + 120 + 60 = 360.
