53 has appeared at the end of
texts, I remember. It could be a further sign that 3 should be added at the
end of the full cycle (because 2 has been added at the first part of the
cycle).
The oval in Yc1-9 is resembling in
outline the pair of vai later on:
159 |
|
41 |
|
52 |
|
59 |
Yc1-9 |
Yc2-3 |
Yc3-3 |
160 |
202 |
255 |
201 |
53 |
60 |
354 |
The numbers suggest we
should reduce with 1 at the beginning:
158 |
|
41 |
|
52 |
|
58 |
Yc1-9 |
Yc2-3 |
Yc3-3 |
159 |
201 |
254 |
200 |
53 |
59 |
Maybe that is the
function of the sign 'open at the bottom' at henua. 53
can then be explained as necessary in order to reach 53 + 59 =
112 = 4 * 28 = 8 * 14. A revised structure:
10 * 20 - 2 = 198 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yc1-2 (19) |
Yc1-3 |
Yc1-4 |
Yc1-5 |
Yc1-6 |
Yc1-7 |
|
|
|
|
Yc1-8 |
Yc1-9 (159) |
Yc1-10 |
Yc2-1 (198) |
11 * 10 + 1
= 111 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yc2-2 (209) |
Yc2-3 (219) |
Yc2-4
|
Yc2-5 |
Yc2-6 (249) |
Yc3-1 (259) |
|
|
|
|
|
Yc3-2 (269) |
Yc3-3 (279) |
Yc3-4
|
Yc3-5 |
Yc3-6 (309) |
3 * 20 - 1 =
59 |
|
|
|
Yc3-7 |
Yc3-8 |
Yc1-1 (368) |
Counting also Yc2-1 as
basically a whole glyph and then reducing with 1 because of the
open bottom end will make the sum of the first group to be 10 * 20
- 2 = 198. Hanau in Yc2-2 has his open and henua-like
arm at left, which means reverse. We have to add 1 instead of
reduce by 1. In Yc3-1 the henua at right is open at both
ends, presumably meaning +1 and -1 = 0. Mercury is a
zero-character. Open feet at Yc3-2 do not disturb the counting,
they are not rima. But the open arm at right in Yc3-8
should count as minus 1.
Another alternative is to count
also the open beak in Yc3-8 as minus 1. But then we ought to add 3 at Yc3-1,
because the three 'limbs' are open towards left. And we ought already
according to the previous alternative have reduced with 1 for the open arm
at left. The first alternative revised:
11 * 10 + 2
= 112 |

Yc2-2 (209) |
Yc2-3 (219) |
Yc2-4

Yc2-5 |
Yc2-6 (249) |
Yc3-1 (260) |

|
|
Yc3-2 (270) |
Yc3-3 (280) |
Yc3-4
|
Yc3-5 |
Yc3-6 (310) |
3 * 20 - 1 =
59 |
|
|
|
Yc3-7 |
Yc3-8 |
Yc1-1 (369) |
The second
alternative:
11 * 10 + 3
= 113 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yc2-2 (209) |
Yc2-3 (219) |
Yc2-4
|
Yc2-5 |
Yc2-6 (249) |
Yc3-1 (261) |
|
|
|
|
|
Yc3-2 (271) |
Yc3-3 (281) |
Yc3-4
|
Yc3-5 |
Yc3-6 (311) |
3 * 20 - 2 =
58 |
|
|
|
Yc3-7 |
Yc3-8 |
Yc1-1 (369) |
This alternative is
not very good and we can forget regarding the beak as another
arm.
I discover I have made a mistake
in the dictionary page. I attempted to reach 300 at Yc3-6 but changed my
mind halfway through and instead opted for 295, which evidently became too
much in one step. Therefore, once again:
10 * 20 =
200 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yc1-2 |
Yc1-3 |
Yc1-4 |
Yc1-5 |
Yc1-6 |
Yc1-7 |
|
|
|
|
Yc1-8 |
Yc1-9 |
Yc1-10 (180) |
Yc2-1 (200) |
10 * 10 =
100 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yc2-2 |
Yc2-3 |
Yc2-4
|
Yc2-5 |
Yc2-6 (250) |
Yc3-1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Yc3-2 (260) |
Yc3-3 |
Yc3-4
|
Yc3-5 |
Yc3-6 (300) |
3 * 20 = 60 |
|
|
|
Yc3-7 |
Yc3-8 |
Yc1-1 (360) |
This is a good
alternative. 180 and 300 are exactly right with these two great
henua glyphs. Without complicating matters Yc1-1 will be
at number 360. But I was forced to set Mercury at Yc3-1 as zero.
If I had not done that, Yc3-6
would have been 310. To save the game I would then have tried to count 3 *
10 = 30 for the last group. 310 + 30 = 340 = 17 * 20. The first group of 20
days does not
show on the dial.
Revising also the following table
we will have these two alternatives:
159 |
|
49 |
|
59 |
|
90 |
Yc1-9 |
Yc2-3 |
Yc3-3 |
160 |
210 |
270 |
160 |
50 |
150 |
360 |
159 |
|
49 |
|
69 |
|
60 |
Yc1-9 |
Yc2-3 |
Yc3-3 |
160 |
210 |
280 |
160 |
50 |
130 |
340 |
I feel inclined to
accept 340 as the correct interpretation. 130 is a better number
than 150 when Sun has left. 280 is 70 nights beyond the first of
the vai glyphs. And it is a complication not to count
Yc3-1, we need all the planets if we count weeks.
The revised dictionary page:
... But I am not satisfied. Day 300 should be at Yc3-6 where Moon rules. And henua at Yc1-10 ought to be at 180. To accomplish this it is necessary to reestablish Yc1-2 at the beginning of the text:
|
Considering my argument 130 (for
the number of days beyond vai in Yc2-3) we can also imagine Yc1-1
being moved back to its place of origin at the beginning of the text:
179 |
|
49 |
|
69 |
|
50 |
Yc1-9 |
Yc2-3 |
Yc3-3 |
180 |
230 |
300 |
180 |
50 |
120 |
350 |
This results in
a complementary reading of calendar II, where our two henua
glyphs will be renumbered as 200 respectively 330 (= 12 * 30 -
30). I therefore add at the end of the dictionary page:
Another - and better - interpretation is though the following,
where Yc1-1 has been returned to its place of origin:
