These are my hura glyphs in H:

Ha1-5 Ha4-21 Ha4-22 Ha4-23 Ha4-24
Ha4-34 *Ha6-28 Hb1-3 Hb11-50

Let us consider the clear cases, *Ha6-28 and Hb11-50. Is there a significant number of glyphs from the one to the other?

side a side b
302 345 594 53
*Ha6-28 (*303) Hb11-50 (*1243)
*648 *648
*1296

My inferred numbers are based on various experiences as described earlier in this dictionary (cfr at pare). They are fairly certain. The number of glyphs on each line on side b has very few uncertainties. It is therefore probable that Hb11-50 is glyph number 595 on side b.

595 can be understood in several different ways, for instance as 300 + 295 (two different ways to measure the path of Sun). Another guess is that we should count 59 * 5 = 295.

53 glyphs beyond Hb11-50 to the end of side b seems to be significant, and it probably means the dark time beyond the end of the regular year.

We need a few further pages in order to find out the relationship between *Ha6-28 and Hb11-50 (if there is any), but also to relate these two hura glyphs to their surroundings.

 

 

If we add 53 to the number of glyphs from Ha1-1 to *Ha6-28 the sum becomes 356 or 2 more than 354 = 12 * 29½:

side a side b
302 345 594 53
*Ha6-28 (*303) Hb11-50 (*1243)
*648 *648
*1296

My instinct says it must then be glyph number *Ha6-26 which is of main importance, not *Ha6-28:

297 ... ...
*Ha6-23 *Ha6-24 *Ha6-25 *Ha6-26 (301) *Ha6-27 *Ha6-28 *Ha6-29
351 352 353 53 + 301 = 354 355 356 357

'Proof' is delivered by counting 1296 - 354 = 2 * 471 (the number of glyphs on the G tablet). If we count 2 glyphs per day beyond *Ha6-26, then the measure of the H text will be 354 + 471 = 825 days, or - if we prefer to use the method in G - equal to 12 (Sun) + 16 (Moon) = 28 lunar months = 826 days.

471 is of importance because 471 = 314 (i.e. 100π) * 150%. The number can therefore be used as a sign of 75 % of a circle. And 1296 - 354 = 942 will then be 3 * 314 or a sign for 1½ cycles. The missing half should be 354 (because Sun has only one 'limb'). Moon counts for 2 (waxing and waning) but Sun only for 1 (his other 'face' is absent looking at his Winter Maid north of the equator), therefore the number of glyphs in G is not 200 % * 314, but only 150 % * 314.

Saturn in *Ha6-25 indicates the end of 6 * 25 = 150 days, and - we can assume - the 'one-limb' cycle of Sun ends in high summer. It begins some 300 days earlier, at winter solstice. Vae in *Ha6-27 indicates Sun is leaving. The half hidden glyphs could signify a cloud cover, and presumably the glyph type in *Ha6-26 is hakaua (making rain). T - the parellel glyph in P is a hakaua:

Pa5-70

Maybe the 'cloud cover' is the result of rain pouring over fire - it is smoke. The 'smoking mirror', Tezcatlipoca, is the opposite of Quetzalcoatl.

It might be of interest to look at the beginning of this inferred 354-day long cycle:

Hb11-46 Hb11-47 Hb11-48 Hb11-49 Hb11-50
Hb11-51 Hb11-52 Hb11-53
Hb12-1 Hb12-2 Hb12-3 Hb12-4 Hb12-5

Possibly also the text of G indicates a final when there are 53 glyphs (days) remaining on side b:

Gb7-5 Gb7-6 Gb7-7 (418)
56 55 472 - 418 = 54
Gb7-8 Gb7-9 Gb7-10 Gb7-11 (422)
53 52 51 50

Mars in position 418 'inhabits' Gb7-7 (like the square of 7), and - we remember - it was Mars also at hura in Ca5-14:

Ca5-12 Ca5-13 Ca5-14 Ca5-15 Ca5-16

In line Hb11 Mars is illustrated by the vae kore (Hb11-49) preceding hura. Mercury marks the limit of Mars in the same way as Moon defines the limit of Sun. 49 = 7 * 7 and 11 says 'one more', i.e. a new 'baby' could be on his way. The ordinal number counted from Hb1-1 is 594 = 6 * 99 and 59 * 4 = 236 = 8 * 29.5.

Hura at right in Hb11-50 is leaning forward, which probably means we have not yet arrived to the time of hura, it lies somewhere ahead. It is still a dark time (cfr e.g. the henua ora signs). In Gb7-8 the 'fire in the sky' is hidden behind a puo sign and the Saturn ariki in Gb7-11 has 3 'feathers' at the back of his head, while in Ca5-15 the sun disc evidently can be observed again.

We should also investigate (although just quickly) the surroundings of *Ha6-25--29.

 

 

The glyphs arriving before *Ha6-26 (which presumably indicates the end of 12 lunar months for Sun) fit rather well, because they describe 'the end of the day':

Ha6-12 Ha6-13 Ha6-14 Ha6-15 Ha6-16 Ha6-17 Ha6-18
340 341 342 343 344 345 346
... ... ...
Ha6-19 *Ha6-20 (295) *Ha6-21 *Ha6-22
347 348 349 350
... ...
*Ha6-23 *Ha6-24 *Ha6-25 *Ha6-26 (301) *Ha6-27 *Ha6-28 *Ha6-29
351 352 353 53 + 301 = 354 355 356 357

Beyond 'the end of the day' the parallel P text continues together with H, and in Pa5-72 (where 5 * 72 = 360) we can see a complete hura sign at left:

Pa5-67 Pa5-68 Pa5-69 Pa5-70 Pa5-71 Pa5-72

Tagata at right has no 'eye' in front, only on his back side.

And beyond these hura + tagata glyphs in H and P a different sequence of glyphs seems to begin, because also Tahua is joining in (while Q still does not have any glyphs to offer beyond 'noon'):

Aa1-49 Aa1-50 Aa1-51 Aa1-52 Aa1-53 Aa1-54 Aa1-55 Aa1-56
*Ha6-30 *Ha6-31 *Ha6-32 *Ha6-33 *Ha6-34 *Ha6-35 *Ha6-36 *Ha6-37
Pa5-73 Pa5-74 Pa5-75 Pa5-76 Pa5-77 Pa5-78

 

 

Evidence suggests Sun has left in *Ha6-26 and dictated by this important statement Mars (Spring Sun) has been pushed into position *Ha6-28 (where 6 * 28 = 168 = 7 * 24):

53 299
*Ha6-25 *Ha6-26 (301) *Ha6-27 *Ha6-28 *Ha6-29
353 354 = 12 * 29.5 355 356 357

The visibility high up has vanished and the season of rain has begun. The liquid Mercury is to blame. 6 * 29 = 174 and 174 + 64 = 238 > 8 * 29.5 (and 174 + 73 = 247 > 8 * 30).

3 as in Spring Sun has left and 3 ihe tau glyphs mark the end with Saturn as the last one in position 20 * 18 (and 6 * 32 = 192):

*Ha6-30 *Ha6-31 *Ha6-32
358 359 360
*Ha6-33 *Ha6-34 *Ha6-35 *Ha6-36 (311) *Ha6-37

A new season will then arrive and it is the season of nuku (*Ha6-36), who has no rima (arms).
