Next number is 295 for Hua Reva:
Here I have at first assembled only 3 * 8 = 24 glyphs. At the beginning we should add, however, the following 6 which were pushed forward from Te Pou:
Aa4-31 obviously connects to Aa4-33, and Aa4-32 seems to be the opposite (in every aspect) of Aa4-40. Maybe we should make a group of these 14 glyphs:
Aa4-39 is a glyph where Metoro said ki uta ki te pito o te henua, and here we have a location equal to 10 * 29 (the 'Hua Reva' of the moon). 4 * 39 = 156 = 12 * 13. A curious eating gesture (a separate entity) seems to be attached to what could be the top part of a distorted tara sign. If this separate kai sign illustrates spring sun, then the moon should stand back. Moon is 'water' and sun is 'fire'. At Hua Reva sun will be drenched by water. For moon the opposite would 'kill' her - viz. the fire of spring sun. If Metoro saw this, he could very well have identified Aa4-39 as the 'Hua Reva' (station of 'death' for the moon caused by the spring sun). His choice of words suggests he tried his best to convey this meaning: uta is inlands (contrary to tai, seawards). Dry land is where sun is ruling, while moon rules the sea. 285 = 15 * 19 is certainly an important henua glyph. The obliquely cut off top could mean that the great season of the sun is beginning here - henua is taller at right. 4 * 34 = 136, as if to say that the first part of sun is arriving. The following glyph (Aa4-35) is in contrast to Aa4-27 (8 glyphs earlier) where the night sky is illuminated by the moon. Possibly the 'death' of moon at Aa4-39 means Aa4-40 should be referred forward to the next group of glyphs, which could consist of the following 15:
However, Aa4-47 seems to be related to Aa4-61. Furthermore, Aa4-44 and Aa4-52 connect to Aa4-65 - notice how the neck lines are drawn to be different, presumably to illustrate beginning, central position, and end. The design of ihe tau in Aa4-48 and Aa4-51 is identical with that in Aa4-66. And not until Aa5-4, with a henua glyph exactly as that in Aa4-42 (44 glyphs earlier) can a final be imagined - however, another one comes even farther ahead, viz. Aa5-36:
The moon 'Hua Reva' possibly, therefore, covers only 13 glyphs (Aa4-27 --Aa4-39), and glyph number 295 (= 10 * 29.5) is not among these 13 glyphs - a sign that we probably should count with 29 instead. If we rely on viri at Aa5-7 (340), the moon 'Akahanga' could stretch for 50 glyphs from Aa4-40 (291), resulting in Aa5-8 as the first glyph of 'Hatinga Te Kohe'. Many interesting glyphs appear amongh these 50 glyphs. Let us only, though, point at Aa4-59 which is positioned so as to be certainly observed. 4 * 59 = 236 = 8 * 29.5 is the number for Te Pei. But the ordinal number is only 310, or equal to 155 days using the coinage for the sun. Possibly it means that there are 5 months with 31 days measured out for the spring sun. 177, we know, is outside at Nga Kope Ririva:
At 'Hatinga Te Kohe' we should notice that there is still a continuity by way of henua at Aa5-36 (where 5 * 360 = 180). Spring sun could end at 364, because 5 * 31 = 155:
12 * 29 = 348 is at Aa5-15. At Aa5-18 hakaturou has a moon beak. |
