The first page in the excursion from tao:
The expression 'another possibility' does not exclude the first explanation. The Maya have also taught us that several different cycles work together. Once also we had such a system, before Copernicus. Te Piringa Aniva should be at ordinal number 1 * 29.5 = 29.5, which means on the border between Ga1-28 and Ga1-29 (if we start counting from Gb8-30). The visual impression of Ga1-29 says it is 'good-night' - a new fire cannot come at this glyph. Te Piringa Aniva does not necessarily, though, has to be at 29.5 - it could be at glyph number 29 (counted from Ga1-1). Whole numbers are more natural than fractions. As to the numbers according to the second explanation, we should not be surprised to find Ga1-22 at 472 = 8 * 59 (because that is a result of our decision to begin counting at Ga1-22). It is when we compare the visual cues in the other glyphs with their ordinal numbers that the results should be studied:
Ordinal number 468 naturally should be first interpreted as 168 + 300. We have experience from both 168 and 300 in other circumstances. But the same number 468 must occur 4 glyphs before the end wherever we start counting. Only when interpreting 168 and 300 as numbers in some way related to the season of spring (or summer) sun, can we see that ordinal number -18 is in agreement with ordinal number 468. Neither 168 nor 300 are numbers divisible by 18, but their sum is: 468 = 18 * 26. The curious glyph Ga1-18 with a hint of a 'dark' viri at bottom suggests a new sun is needed. The 'eye' could be interpreted as the sun in front, but it is a hole, a vacancy at present. 475 at Ga1-25 of course should be read as 19 * 25 ('fire-fire') - i.e. the last 'period' (18) is in the past. 18 * 25 = 450 coincides with Gb8-30! In Ga1-26 the bottom viri suddenly has turned around (compared with Ga1-18). The inside is now visible, it is on the outside. Its ordinal number 476 can be understood as 14 * 34, as 17 * 28, or as 7 * 68. None of these versions is in harmony with ordinal number -26. Presumably we should relate Ga1-26 to Ga1-18 not only visually but also numerically:
Similarly, the 'canoes' in Ga1-25 and Ga1-30 appear to be also numerically in harmony:
It is not easy to explain such perceived relationships in the glyph dictionary. Next page:
This is a somewhat complicated argument: First we renumber Te Pou from 8 to 9, implicitly using 'knowledge' gained according to which Te Pou is around Gb2-10 (number 266 counted from Gb8-30):
266 at Gb2-11 seems to be a better fit with how the glyphs look, the new Sirius should in some way be related to the old one (Gb2-9). But then we have to count from Ga1-1. Next, the numbers (supported by the glyphs) have told us that 472 (= 16 * 29.5) should be at Ga1-22. But the distance between 472 and 266 is 206 = ca 7 * 29.5 = 206.5 which means we must renumber Te Piringa Aniva from 16 to 17:
22 at Nga Kope Ririva is just the number it should have. And 18 at Te Kioe Uri and 20 at Te Poko Uri feels quite acceptable. I have not said anything about this in the excursion so far, but it must be told somewhere. There are 2 * 7 = 14 kuhane stations in the table above, i.e. room for an 8th station both during the 1st and 2nd halves of the year. Maybe we should think in terms of 3 halves:
