Hura in Ha6-28 is a day of Mars, so much
is quite clear. Below and in the following I
have eliminated the asterisks (*) at the
uncertain number of glyphs and glyph labels in
H. These uncertainties apparently do not matter
any more, they remain only as a theoretical
problem. We can in the following regard them as
practically eliminated:
53
299
Hb11-50
Ha6-25
(300)
1
354
Ha6-26
Ha6-27
Ha6-28
Ha6-29
Ha6-30
Ha6-31
Ha6-32
355
356
357
358
359
360
361
Considering the reason why day 354 is not a day of
Mars it can be argued that 6-28 is the reason. 628 is twice 314,
and it should mean that a cycle is completed with
glyph Ha6-28 (although Saturn in Ha6-25 is glyph number 354 = 12 *
29.5 counted from hura in Hb11-50).
There are 12 glyph lines on each side of the tablet.
Line Ha6 is the last line of the first half of 12 lines on side a. If side
a corresponds to the front side of the year, then a new cycle could
begin halfway through side a, presumably around spring equinox.
At
hura in Ca5-14 (where 14 = 28 / 2) the first quarter of the front
side of the year
seems to be in the past:
87
Ca1-26
Ca2-1
Ca5-11 (116)
1
2
4 * 29 - 25
= 91
Ca5-12
Ca5-13
Ca5-14
Ca5-15
Ca5-16
(121)
92
93
94
95
96
If Summer Sun is
ending his days with day number 192 (which seems probable
for instance because this is the reconstructed number of glyph
spaces in K), then 92 could indicate there is a
kind of
'quarter' (= 400 / 4) from Sun's arriving at spring equinox
to his departure in high summer.
We must
notice that there is no sign of 'smoke' hiding any part of
hura in Ha6-28. We should instead compare with a
similar design in a hua poporo glyph:
Ha6-28
Ha9-8
Or should I have
defined Ha9-8 as a hura glyph? Let us
investigate.
These
are the hua poporo glyphs in H:
Ha9-8
Ha11-46
Hb1-32
Hb1-48
Hb1-51
Hb2-4
Hb2-8
Hb2-13
Hb2-34
Hb4-28
Hb8-49
Hb9-54
Hb10-34
Hb11-24
Hb12-32
It is obvious that the hua poporo glyphs in H come predominantly
on side b, the back side of the tablet. I have suggested (cfr at
hua poporo) that this type of glyph has to do with falling rain and
falling darkness. The 'balls' are formed like droplets.
Ha9-8
is not typical. But the 'drops' are recognizable. There is no
other similar huapoporo glyph, neither in H nor in any
of the other texts.
The
preceding Mars glyph is a nuku. 45 * 6 = 270
= 9 * 30 could possibly be a sign of autumn equínox (and 4 * 56 = 8
* 28 = 7 * 32):
Ha9-1 (450)
Ha9-2
Ha9-3
Ha9-4
13 glyphs are
missing here
Ha9-5
Ha9-6
Ha9-7 (456)
Ha9-8
There are 786 glyphs
from this Mars nuku to Mars vae kore in Hb11-49:
Hb11-46
Hb11-47
Hb11-48
Hb11-49
(1242)
Hb11-50
Hb11-51
Hb11-52
Hb11-53
Therefore
also the distance
from Ha9-8 (Mercury) to Hb11-50 (Mercury) has this length:
785
Ha9-8 (457)
Hb11-50
(1243)
785 = 314 *
250%
Often we can divide the number of glyphs in H by 3 and
reach meaningful distances. Possibly this fact is related to my
suggestion that 942 = 2 * 471 is a sign of 300 % * 314. If so,
then maybe we should count each glyph as a day for the cycle
beginning with Hb11-50 and count 3 glyphs per day for the rest
of the text. (1296 - 354) / 3 = 314.
An example of how division by 3 gives meaningful results is the Mars vae kore in Hb11-49. The number for this little Mars bird
looking ahead will
after division by 3 correspond to the day of tamaiti in Gb7-3:
Hb11-47
Hb11-48
Hb11-49
(1242)
Gb7-3
1242 / 3 =
414
414
Hb11-50
Hb11-51
Hb11-52
Hb11-53
Hb12-1
Hb12-2
415
416
Hb12-3
Hb12-4
Hb12-5
417
According to this structure day number 413 (= 14 * 29.5) will in H end with a
Saturday:
Hb11-44
Hb11-45
Hb11-46 (1239)
Gb7-2
413 = 1239 /
3
413
My discussion above indicates that the strange
hua poporo in Ha9-8 is related to the hura
glyphs. If so, then we ought to find a numerical connection also
with the similarly formed hura in Ha6-28, and such is
indeed the case:
153
Ha6-28 (303)
Ha9-8 (457)
The
numerical connection is not easily found. The trick is to recognize
457 as 300 + 157 (where 157 = 314 * 50%). The connection is that 6-28 alludes to
314 * 200% and that the distance between Ha9-8 and Hb11-50 is 314 *
250%:
785
Ha9-8 (457)
Hb11-50
(1243)
785 = 314 *
250%
That is, Ha9-8 is located 314 * 50% beyond glyph number 354
counted from tagata rere hura in Hb11-50:
53
299
Hb11-50
Ha6-25
(300)
1
354
From
Sunday
hakaua in Ha6-26 to Hb11-50 there are (50% + 250%) * 314 =
942 glyphs.
938
Ha6-26
Ha6-27
Ha6-28
Ha6-29
Hb11-50
(1243)
942 = 3 * 314
1
The
other texts have a more or less normal hua poporo glyph
in parallel with Ha9-8 and there is no sign of any hura:
Ha9-8
Pa8-22
Qa8-38
I
will now add Ha9-8 to my glyph catalogue as an example also of
hura.
