Can we add a glyph from H to this pair?


Gb6-26	Eb6-26

Yes, it seems to be possible. Because a major event in the H text should be where the parallel Q text ends, it ought to be the end of some great cycle. The last (partly) visible glyph in Q (according to Fischer) is a parallel to Hb6-31. According to Barthel's description of glyph line Qb9 we can guess there is room for also a parallel to Hb6-32 (though the glyph is now completely destroyed):


Hb6-26	Hb6-27	Hb6-28	Hb6-29	Hb6-30	Hb6-31	Hb6-32

6 * 32 = 192 (the number of glyphs on the K tablet) and I guess Hb6-32 stands at the end of a sun cycle. The sinking fish in Hb6-26 obviously is connected with the end of the cycle - rather than with the beginning of a new cycle, as (presumably) in Eb6-26:


Hb6-26	Gb6-26	Eb6-26

The ordinal numbers in the Q text are not possible to reconstruct (at least for the moment). Quite interesting, though, is the fact that the parallel in Q to Hb6-26 cannot have the same ordinal number (b6-26), because it is located in glyph line b9. The different lenghts of the three texts makes it impossible to have the parallel glyphs (to Hb6-26 and other glyphs) in P and Q with the same numbers.

In H, though, the ordinal numbers counted from Ha1-1 can be reconstructed:


Hb6-26 (928)	Hb6-27	Hb6-28	Hb6-29	Hb6-30	Hb6-31	Hb6-32

928 = 29 * 32 seems to be significant. 29 is the dark night of the moon and 32 is the measure of 'multiplication' due to the effects of sun. 6 * 26 = 12 * 13 possibly carries a similar meaning, with 13 being 'one more' than 12 (i.e., a structurally equivalent to 29).

Next page is the first one encountered upon activating the hyperlink '271 glyphs':

271 is an odd prime number, and equal to 471 (the number of glyphs on the G tablet) minus 200.

71 is one less than 72 (as in 360 / 5 and in twice 36). Maybe, therefore, we should intepret 271 as 200 + 71, which means 471 maybe should be read as 400 + 71.

400 is one of the measures for the year, e.g. found in the number of glyphs on the tablets of A and H:

Tahua (A)			Keiti (E)			Large Santiago (H)
side a	670	200π+42	side a	326	100π+12	side a	*648	200π+20
side b	664	200π+36	side b	302	100π-12	side b	*648	200π+20
sum	1334	400π+78	sum	628	200π	sum	*1296	400π+40

On the small Keiti tablet there is room for only half 400, and half 400 is found also at a signicant location in G:


Ga7-15	Ga7-16	Ga7-17

Ga7-18	Ga7-19	Ga7-20	Ga7-21

Ga7-22 (192)	Ga7-23	Ga7-24	Ga7-25	Ga7-26

Ga7-27	Ga7-28	Ga7-29	Ga7-30 (200)	Ga7-31

Furthermore, the kuhane station Tama (as in tamaiti, child) appears to be connected with the end of the 400-day year, and possibly the name Tama alludes to the new year baby:


Gb6-17 (400)	Gb6-18	Gb6-19	Gb6-20

Gb6-21	Gb6-22	Gb6-23	Gb6-24

Gb6-25	Gb6-26	Gb6-27	Gb6-28

Gb7-1	Gb7-2 (413)	Gb7-3	Gb7-4

14 * 29.5 = 413, and 14 * 28.5 = 399. In H, we have seen, there is a manu kake at glyph number 400:


Ha8-1	Ha8-2	Ha8-3	Ha8-4	Ha8-5 (400)

Several other examples could be quoted, but the point has already been made: 400 probably is one of the measures for a full cycle.

To return to the number of glyphs on the G tablet, we have earlier found 471 to be related to 314 (100π) by way of the formula 471 / 3 = 471 - 314 = 157 (a prime number). In other words: 471 = 150 % of 314.

Gb6-26 is glyph number 409 (counted from Gb8-30) and we now can immediately recognize 4 * 9 = 36 as a sign of the end of the solar path - Tama has come and a new cycle is due. Evidence is slowly accumulating, enriching our experiences and sharpening our senses.

Now we can therefore also quickly read signs at the halfway station, which we earlier did not notice:


Ga7-22 (192)	Ga7-23	Ga7-24	Ga7-25	Ga7-26

Ga7-27	Ga7-28	Ga7-29	Ga7-30 (200)	Ga7-31

Ga7-26 has 7-26 as the spring equivalence of 6-26 (and 7 * 26 = 182).

7 * 29 = 203, in other words beyond the final of the halfcycle (200). 26 + 29 = 55 = 5 * 11, the child has been engendered and the 2nd part of the cycle has begun. 7 * 55 = 385 and we are in Roto Iri Are, the time of annunciation.

In Ga7-30 we can read 7 times 30 days, as pointing to the last glyph on side a (number 230) after reducing with 20 glyphs:


Ga1-17	Ga1-18	Ga1-19	Ga1-20 (1)	Ga1-21	Ga1-22	Ga1-23	Ga1-24	Ga1-25
