Viri at Ga7-1 has earlier been connected by way of 29 to the other viri glyphs in G:
261 dark days followed by 145 spring days add up to 14 * 29 = 406 days (46 more than 360). 145 = 12 * 12 + 1, i.e. viri at Ga7-1 is a dark day. 48 days between viri at Ga5-11 and viri at Ga7-1 is equal to 6 * 8, which suggests a conjunction of sun with moon. But we can alternatively read 2 * 48 (= 12 * 8) from Ga1-26 up to and including viri at Ga5-11. If so, then there are 3 * 48 = 6 * 24 (= 144) days from Ga1-26 to viri at Ga7-1. Between Ga7-1 and Gb1-6 (notice the reversal of the position of 1 and the change from 7 to 6) a midsummer season with 64 days presumably excludes counting by 29:
The last glyph on side a (Ga8-26) is located 59 days beyond viri at Ga7-1:
This table seems to be a 'true' picture of what the creator intended. Furthermore, focus has been placed at Ga7-1 because it is the first glyph beyond the first 6 glyph lines, and we should also notice that 471 - 300 = 171. Also, 360 + 171 = 531 = 18 * 29.5, the number of glyphs to reach Te Pou in Tahua (where we count 2 glyphs per day). And we should also remember the possibility of counting 3 glyphs per day, in which case 531 glyphs = 177 days (= 6 * 29.5).
171 = 9 * 19:
If the 300 days of sun are beginning at Ga7-2, it ought to be the time of birth of a new sun (the old one should have expired with the first 6 glyphs lines). Glyph line a6 has 29 glyphs, indicating a dark time for the old year, and already at Ga5-27 growing darkness announces the demise of the old sun:
The earlier discovery of 150 days ending in henua period 20 should make us realize, though, that it probably is the spring sun which has reached his maximum:
He is waning in glyph line a6. Moe in Ga6-6 (where 6 * 6 = 36) is drawn with powerful lines and stands at the beginning of another type of year which seems to be measured as 360 days:
Ga6-6 comes 11 glyphs beyond Ga5-25 and the henua period is number 22. A cycle has closed. Already with Ga6-1 a closed 'fist' raised high tells of the new cycle, though. In another version of 360 + 112 = 472 we have found a 360-day year beginning with Gb1-3:
Ga6-24 is located in henua period number 28. The henua period system indicates that the light goes out with period 27, but that a complete darkness does not come until period 29, maybe because the last glyph in period 28 is Ga6-26 (where 6 * 26 = 12 * 13):
In henua period number 32 the procreation process has resulted in a tamaiti (Ga7-11). |
