We can now count the
number of days between the 2 pare glyphs in H, and we should
not divide by 3 but by 2:
4 * 29.5
14 * 29.5
Ha3-11
Ha3-12
Ha10-30
(532)
Ha10-31
Ha10-32
59
day 60
206
day 267 =
532 / 2 + 1
Pare in Ha3-11
arrives in day 60
counted from Ha1-1 and
the
pare which is 'fading
away' (Ha10-31) is in
day 267.
In G we can regard the
beginning of the back
side of the tablet
(Gb1-1) as referring to
day number 231 of the
calendar. Glyph line Gb1
contains 26 glyphs,
presumably a sign which
means that the reign of Sun
is finished with
Gb1-26.
Because if 360 can be thought of
as 18 * 20 - as we
can suspect from
hetuu in *Qb5-18 - then
9 * 20 =
180 should be half the
total cycle, and the last part
(9) of the reign of the Sun
King (26) should
coincide with line Gb1
which is the 9th line on the
tablet.
*Qb5-15
*Qb5-16
*Qb5-17
*Qb5-18
(592)
359 = 64 + 295
360 = 64 + 592 / 2
Hb2-33
Hb2-34 (734)
Hb2-35
Hb2-36
734 / 2 = 367
368
Thinking along these
lines it suddenly
becomes clear why hua
poporo in Hb2-34 has
been given its place -
because 9 * 26 = 234. Is
it a 'broken neck' sign
at bottom?
But 734 is 500 (= 5 *
100) more and 367 is 100
more than 267. Rogo
(Hb2-35) in the
following day has
started to move again
after having stood still.
All
movement forward begins with
a
first step, which we
can see.
Ga8-26 (230)
Gb1-1
Gb1-2
Gb1-3
Gb1-4 (234)
In Ga8-26 we can count 8
* 26 = 208, which in
another way illustrates
the end of Sun:
114
296
Ha3-11
(119)
Ha3-12
Ha5-19
Ha5-20
(236)
Ha10-31
Ha10-32
60 = 120 / 2
57
236 / 2 = 118
148
267 = 118 + 149
267 - 59 =
8 * 26 = 208 days
So when we add 26
more days to 208 it
becomes 9 * 26 = 234 days and
the time is similar
to the 29th ('2nd
9') dark night of
the month.
Gb--26 has ordinal
number 256 (= 4 *
64) and 9 * 29.5 =
266½. When the
hua poporo
season draws toward its
end (in day number
88 counted from day
368 / 2 = 184) the
ordinal number is
2-16, where we can
'read' 1296 / 6 (mixing the G text
with the text of H):
Gb1-26 (256)
Gb2-1
Gb2-2
Gb2-3
Gb2-4
Gb2-5
Gb2-6
Gb2-7
Gb2-8
Gb2-9
Gb2-10 (266)
Gb2-11
Gb2-12 (268)
Gb2-13
Gb2-14
Gb2-15
Gb2-16 (272)
The pare
glyphs are scarce and it is not easy to find a common denominator
for them.
In H they apparently
indicate the arrival of sun in spring and his fading away at the end
of his cycle. Counting glyphs (from Ha1-1) it is discovered that 14
lunar months (413 days) could be the intended measure for the cycle:
413 = 14 * 29.5
Ha3-11
(119)
Ha10-31
(533)
However, it is also
possible to count
with 2
glyphs per day:
114
296
Ha3-11
(119)
Ha3-12
Ha5-19
Ha5-20
(236)
Ha10-31
Ha10-32
day 60
= 120 / 2
57
day 118
148
day 267 =
532 / 2 + 1
8 * 26 = 208 days
Or why not with 2
glyphs per day only
up to the time when
'Spring Sun is
decapitated':
295 = 10 *
29.5
Ha5-19
Ha5-20
(236)
Ha10-30
(532)
Ha10-31
Ha10-32
day 118 = 236 /
2
day 413 + 1
415
416
A break in time
occurs after 236 +
295 = 531 glyphs,
and the triplet
Ha10-30--32 is
located beyond this
break.
