TRANSLATIONS
I decided to end here the series of pages from the link labelled '314'. Next page will then resume with thoughts about the possibility of Venus being represented also in G at position 251, 'one more' than 314 counted from winter solstice:
This is how far I can take the glyph dictionary pages without preparing the ground, so to say, here in the translations part. The Maya Indians live north of the equator, and when they have summer it is winter on Easter Island and the other way around. With side a of G defined by glyphs and numbers as the spring half, the Mayan would at the same time experience autumn. For some reason, the Maya Indians connected 236 with Venus as morning star, and it could be that sun 'owns' the spring half of the year, and when sun grows old (in autumn) Venus would follow in harmony as evening star. Sun and Venus would be of the same 'age'. The stars do not change their season when we travel across the equator. They are more absolute than the sun. Sirius we have defined as 9 * 29.5 = 265.5 and it is apparently located in the early 'evening' of sun. I remember that anciently they had a tendency to regard Venus and Sirius as similar (which of course they are due to their brightness). Venus should also be at the beginning of side b. Venus and Sirius are like the 'suns' of the autumn half of the year. I guess they in the rongorongo system defined Venus and Sirius to rise in the 'evening'. They should be 'evening stars' and also be observed in the evenings. Aldebaran changed place from spring to autumn when the observer passed from north to south of the equator. And the whole starry sky followed suit. If Sirius and Venus were connected in the observer's mind, they would both change season together. Now we need to search for 'proof'. A clear break in time is offered where the Q text ends. From Hb6-32 only the text of P remains as a parallel:
Tapa mea kai in Hb7-9 connects by reason of the glyph type to tapa mea kai in Hb10-32:
Day number 385 comes 385 - 17 = 368 days later (remember that the cycle begins with Hb9-48), and number 368 is hardly a coincidence. Maybe it means 'the 8th period of the 36 type'. The triplet of honu glyphs resemble what we can see in the 20th henua period in G:
The 'feet' of the honu are oppositely oriented, though. And in H the honu are lean. It should be mentioned here that I have early found a 'parallel' between Hb7-7--13 and Rb8-8--14:
Rb8-10 is a kind of mixture between henua and a reversed tapa mea as in Ga6-27 (not a tapa mea kai as in Hb7-9), but Rb8-10 has 6 instead of 8 feathers. Maybe these three 'parallels' describe three different times, only sharing the general structure. If in G we identify the 20th henua period with the time during the spring half of the year when sun has reached his apex (cfr reversed tapa mea kai in Ga5-27, meaning darkness is growing), then the lean honu in H could be the opposite season. Tapa mea kai in Hb7-9 is not reversed, and it has 5 feathers. Only a fortnight remains to 400, and only 14 + 32 = 46 days to the end of the 432 day long cycle. Maybe it is the time when the fires (5) should be put out? If so, then already next day (cfr hau tea in Hb7-12) new light seems to be coming. At Hb6-34 (day 375 from Friday) there remain 25 days to 400 and 25 + 32 = 57 days to 432. Counting glyphs from Ha1-1 we have koti (Hb6-39) in the center of day number 314 (= 942 / 3), leaving 118 (= 4 * 29.5 days to the end of the cycle).
Honu in Hb6-45 indicates winter solstice (by way of its appearance). If we count from Friday the number of the day becomes 316 + 63 = 379, if we add 28 we have 344. Nothing conclusive seems to come from these numbers. But 354 + 25 = 379. The ua signs are interesting:
The different ways of count, depending on where to start, makes it important to study the numbers represented by glyph line and ordinal number in the line. 6 * 36 = 216 = 648 / 3. And 6 * 40 = 240. Everything is quite interesting but hardly makes us reach any conclusions about Gb1-21. But we can extend our map:
