Once again:
There is much food for thought here. At *Qa6-45 the text is disappearing, hardly a coincidence because of the ordinal number (and 6 * 45 = 270). 250 / 2 + 64 = day 189, one week beyond day 182 = 364 / 2. One week is also measured out by tagata lifting both hands:
The special henua type in Qa6-42 we recognize from the day of Saturn, and 6-43 is there reversed into 436:
A close scrutiny reveals that Qa6-42 seems to be turned upside down compared with Hb9-57:
6 * 42 = 7 * 36 (as we know from the discussion of the 7th flame of the sun). 9 * 53 = 513 we also recognize:
531 = 18 * 29.5, another final measure for the sun. If we count with 2 glyphs per day 531 will point at Te Pou. And with 3 glyphs per day 531 will be 177 days, half 354. 531 must be an important constant for calendar makers. The only somewhat similar henua of this irregular type is *Qa2-19, and significantly it has ordinal number 42:
368 + 85 = 453. If we count with 369, it will be 454, which we can read as 45 * 4 = 180. Or maybe we should count 4 * 54 = 216? At any rate, 144 + 225 = 369 is - it appears - a necessity. |
