TRANSLATIONS
The kuhane stations as defined in G should be correlated with the text of K by using both numbers and glyphs, and we need only those on side a of G:
Te Piringa Aniva is 'kicked into action' by Ga1-30. It is the 5th station of those on the island proper. All the people gather to give feathers to the king. A new fire must be lit.
Ga1-29 is obviously describing a state in the dark, a kind of ghostly tagata, marking the end of the station coming before Te Piringa Aniva. The parallel glyph in K may subtly allude to 29 by being number 9 in glyph line number 2. But it has been given number 33, which is no ghostly number. The difference is 4 glyphs and I suspect them to be located at the very beginning of the text:
Ka1-1--4 are 'ghostly' - the circumferences are not closed. Ka1-5--6, on the other hand, seem to agree in general content with the parallel Ga1-5--6. The 3 feathers on ariki correspond to the 3 fingers on the 'fire generator' in Ka1-5. Fingers are always ghostly, and therefore the non-closed circumference is no sign. Also Ka1-3--4 correspond to Ga1-5, but with the important difference of being just 'ghosts'. Discounting these 4 ghostly glyphs at the very beginning of the K text, Ka2-9 will be number 29. Otherwise number 29 will be viri at Ka2-5. A viri glyph should always be related to 29. In Ga1-26 there is a viri sign used for a special purpose, to indicate the end of the dark season:
471 = 261 + 210, where 210 can be equal to 7 * 30 or (better) 14 * 15. And 1-26 is a 'reversal' of 261. In the K viri the numbers 2-5 possibly allude to the 25 days of 'winter' before a new sun is being born. The kuhane station after Te Piringa Aniva is Te Pei. Considering the reverse order on side a, it means that the 29 first glyphs on side a should refer to Te Pei. According to side b there should be 30 days in Te Pei, but one is missing at the beginning of side a. Which results in Gb1-6 being number 235 instead of number 236. But had it not been missing, we would have had 472 = 261 + 211, where 211 is a prime number (which is no good). On side b Te Pei is followed by Te Pou, on side a Te Pei is followed by Te Piringa Aniva. On side a sun arrives, on side b Sirius arrives. Te Pou is located at 266, i.e. 5 glyphs beyond 261:
Gb2-6 cannot be added to 260, because it would result in the black 9 * 29 = 261. And the picture in the glyph indicates it belongs to the two following glyphs. A complex play between the calendar for the week (or planets) and Sirius seems to be involved:
Gb2-9 (264 = 364 - 100) has a right part which resembles the right part in Gb3-24 (314 = 264 + 50)), which is located as the 20th glyph in Hua Reva:
If the first 29 glyphs on side a refer to Te Pei, then we should find evidences of a turning around, upside down, falling on face. And in K that is exactly what we can see in the first glyph:
In G there is nothing similar. But there - on the other hand - we have the connection with Gb1-6 instead:
Ga1-26 can be regarded as an upside down Gb1-6 without feathers. Yet, another person now is growing up. |
