After securing (as far as
that has been possible with a minimum of effort) a beginning at Aa2-6, and by
counting from Aa1-1 with 2 glyphs per day we have reached:
|
|
361 |
|
|
Aa2-6 (96) |
Aa2-7 |
Aa6-43 (459) |
Aa6-44 |
182 days (?) |
The
question mark is motivated by uncertainty - maybe we sometimes (in
Tahua) should count only 1 glyph per day? We leave that
question and insert the two remaining tagata pau
glyphs:
|
|
134 |
|
|
194 |
|
30 |
|
Aa2-6 |
Aa2-7 |
Aa3-57 |
Aa3-58 (233) |
Aa6-12 (428) |
Aa6-43 |
136 = 2 * 68 |
195 = 13 *
15 |
32 |
Using
459 (at Aa6-43) we can count 4 * 59 = 236 = 8 * 29.5 and similarly
428 (Aa6-12) could be read as 4 * 28 = 112 = 8 * 14. In Aa3-57 we
have 2 * 32 = 64 = 8 * 8. Aa2-7
and Aa3-57 together measure out 136 glyphs, just like Ga3-7 and
Ga7-33. The distance from 97 to 233 is equal to that from 67 to
203:
|
135 |
|
162 |
|
Ga3-7 (67) |
Ga7-33 (203) |
Gb5-12 (366) |
136 = 100 +
6 * 6 |
164 = 100 +
8 * 8 |
300 = 10 *
30 |
364
(in A) emerges as 332 + 32, where 332 can be read as 3 times 32, and
we could count 4 * 32 = 128 = twice 64 (= 8 * 16). There are 2 cycles in
a
year, each like a square measuring 8 by 8.
Another way of drawing
the map is to start with 270 = 9 months à 30 days, and then divide
in the middle to reach 135:
|
|
134 |
|
|
194 |
|
30 |
|
Aa2-6 |
Aa2-7 |
Aa3-57 |
Aa3-58 (233) |
Aa6-12 (428) |
Aa6-43 |
135 = 9 * 15 |
195 = 13 *
15 |
32 |
22 *
15 = 330 is equal to 11 months. After adding 32 and Aa2-6--7 we have 364.
There
are two pau (hipu) signs in Aa6-43. The double sign
implies it is the 2nd cycle which is reaching to its end, and 459 / 2 = 229.5
suggests Te Pei could be the station at the end of the 2nd cycle. The
1st cycle of the year would then begin not at winter solstice but at
summer solstice. |
