Once again:
522 / 2 = 261 = 9 * 29 is a dark day. And mea ke (with 3 'roofs') confirms. Vai has only a single perimeter. Though in Q there is no vai with double perimeter, and a better argument is to say it is the last vai in the text.
There seems to be a pattern for when to use 3 'roofs' in mea ke, is it maybe correlated with the nuku season?
Here I have blackmarked the odd glyph lines on each side, those which are upside down. I cannot see any pattern. But when I changed my method so that the lines on side b continues the counting from side a (e.g. with Qb2 as line number 9 + 2 = 11) the lines on side b will change from even to odd and vice versa, and then the even-numbered lines do correlate with mea ke:
The ordinal numbers I have used are also continuations from side a. Qb2-42 will for instance be number 387 + 93 = 480, which can be read as 8 * 60. The bottom part is the 'cup' of koti and the double mata is like a sail - the sun is here sailing towards a brighter sky, it seems. But if I have continued from side a in order to reach 480, then I should change 2 * 42 = 84 into 11 * 42 = 462. And because each day should correspond to 2 glyphs, we can count 462 / 2 = 231. This is where the tablet should have been turned if its physical properties had allowed for it, if the tablet had been larger. Instead, a lost Rogo with Rei was chosen, just after spring sun (?) is fading away in H and P (Q has only one pare glyph, *Qa2-40).
Glyph line Qb2 has been investigated rather thoroughly at ika hiku, and we already knew it was the line in which spring sun will reach the limit of his 10 months. Indeed, we can now realize that it is glyph line number 9 + 2 = 11 which explains the appearance of 'one more' - the tamaiti glyphs:
The lost Rogo may be connected with the curious sign at left in Qb2-31. There are 40 days from the one to the other, and the number of tamaiti alludes to 231:
Glyph line Qb2 ends with a fish head disappearing (Qb2-46) and glyph number 233 in G is also the last glyph of a sort:
The pair of manu rere (manu kapa) in left position (Gb1-4 and Gb1-12) define 9 days beyond day 233. In order to see the corresponding days in Q we must advance to glyph line Qb3 (number 12):
Having read Qb2-42 as day number 231 will result in a series of following days ordered accordingly. Numbers within parenthesis above are instead the usual pattern beginning from Qa1-1, counting 2 glyphs per day, and finally adding 64. The text is difficult. Also the creator had some problems, it seems. There are helpful dots at for instance Qb3-14 and day number 314. Perhaps day number 240 (Qb3-13 respectively Gb1-10) is where 10 months with 24 days in each are ending (or 24 fortnights with 10 days in each). A better guess, though, is presumably 8 months with 30 days. Somewhere the system of counting days maybe reverts to normal. But counting days with Qb2-42 at day number 231 seems to continue at least up to Qb4-3:
538 / 2 = 269 can be read as 26 and 9, while 260 = 10 * 26. Or we can add 269 + 64 = 333 = 314 + 19. 4 * 3 = 12 and 13 * 3 = 39. All numbers point in the same direction - it is time for some kind of seasonal turnover. Puo without a closed perimeter in *Qb3-43 makes us remember Hanga Takaure at Gb8-30, and an even more ghostly character is hardly visible at all in *Qb3-51. The end of glyph line Qb3 is running out of life. Pure in *Qb3-49 establishes this fact without doubt. Nuku in *Qb3-41 will be 14-41 if we count from line Qa1. The reversal of the numbers should mean we are at a cardinal point, but which one? Nuku is number 25 counted from vaha mea in Qb3-17 (where a season should begin):
Where a 'fire square' is ending a nuku without left eye is found. The end of 'fire' is also accounted for in mea ke, in number 5 and 22, and in number 261:
Rei in *Qb3-39 is initiating the new (nuku) season, which is growing (kai) in *Qb3-42. Counted from Qb2-42 (also -42) the day number for nuku will be 254 (and 25 * 4 = 100). 32 * 6 = 192 says it is time for the nuku season. But most convincing is the fact that the parallel H text is turning from side a to side b:
There is only one 'true' ua glyph in Q:
The head disappears here (Qb3-22), and a new season is beginning (17 in 317), 4 days beyond the last sign of sun light (Qb3-13) at day number 240. In H there are 2 significant ua, 666 glyphs apart:
666 = 1158 (the number of glyphs in P) - 492 (392 + 100), and also the number of the beast (cfr Aa6-66). Ua in Ha10-33 generates 385 (or 386 without reduction for Ha1-1--3). In Q there are 387 glyphs on side a and this fact seems to be relevant. 387 will in H be ending at Ha10-36 (where 10 * 36 of course must be 360). Rogo 'in the middle of the day' confirms it. Day 388 is where Q is turned (if we count with 1 glyph per day):
The turning of the Q tablet seems to have been determined by a year with 260 days (and 392 finally is explained). In H another measure was utilized, viz. 216:
(651 - 3) / 3 = 648 / 3 = 216. The number of glyphs on each side is 648, which we can read as 64 and 8. Or as 6 * 48 = 288:
472 - 224 = 248. I bet 216 is just a 'mixed up' 261. |
