TRANSLATIONS
Now I feel prepared enough to write in the dictionary, and at the same time change a few important details:
In G, we should remember, was established a structure with 180 days beyond a moa (Gb7-1) and beyond the end of the old year
472 - 412 = 60 days or ⅓ of 180 days (the first half of the new year) come after the moa and up to the end of side b. In H the corresponding number of days to the end of side b is instead here suggested to be 102 days. In G there are twice 8 glyphs from Ga6-17 which presumably announce what will come - two cycles of the sun. In H another type of arrangement has twice 4 glyphs from Ha5-17, which possibly also illustrates the double cycle of the sun:
In Ha5-19 the fist in Ha5-17 has burst out into full bloom. The 5 fingers have been transformed into flames. In Ha5-24 the watery hole in Ha5-22 has been transferred from inside to outside. Next page:
Hb7-32 ought to illustrate the new year baby emerging at winter solstice. From such a beginning he will grow to maturity at midsummer, where he should be illustrated as tagata. But at Ha5-19 he will already be gone if we count with 180 for his measure.
5-19 is more than 5-18 (meaning 5 * 18 = 90). In a way spring sun does not arrive until spring equinox. Honui at Ha5-22 belongs to the 2nd cycle of the sun (irrespective if we count with 180, 182, or 182.625 as the measure of the 1st cycle). Apparently the birth has not yet arrived, though, giving my interpretation of days 79-80 as 2 intercalated days before the regular 180 for the 2nd cycle has started. Maybe in Ha5-24 the 'watery hole' is being born. The contents of an egg is in fluid form. Next page:
The spring pare in Ha3-11 has glyph number 119, i.e. the distance to Ha10-31 is 533 - 119 = 414 glyphs = 138 days:
138 = 6 * 23 or maybe 3 * 46. If we count 1 glyph per day Ha3-11 will be the first glyph beyond 4 * 29.5 = 118. If the moon calendar is present in H, then it possibly should be counted with 1 glyph per day - in contrast to the sun calendar with 3 (as in the spring sun number and the Hawaiian 3 parts of daylight). We should notice the 'parallel' between the running figure in Hb7-29 and the two in Ha5-27--28:
Beyond the very first glyph and up to (and including) Ha5-28) there seem to be 185 days:
A more natural way to look at it is to say that Ha5-27 represents day number 104 + 81 = 185. Between the two glyphs Ha5-27 and Ha5-28 is an invisible wall saying that Ha5-27 ends half a year and Ha5-28 begins the next half year. In the 185 day long interval there are 2 intercalated days around midsummer, and at the beginning there are another 2 intercalated days, 2 + 180 + 2 = 184. Day number 81 (counted from Ha1-1) ends with Ha5-27, therefore it is identical with day number 185 counted from Hb7-29. This should mean we could count 3 * 180 glyphs from Ha5-28 to find day number 365:
A remarkable text, indeed! And we should remember (from manu kake), that 4 * 26 lies at the beginning of 364 days:
261 is equal to 81 + 180 and 365 is equal to 104 + 81 + 180, i.e. 365 = 4 * 26 + 9 * 29:
