New discoveries crop up all the time. Now a new view of H offers itself. 3 * 314 suggests 3 parts of equal length in the text. A 4th part will then be different (a structure similar to the 4th quarter of the year when sun has left). We must stop for a while to investigate. Instead of days we should count glyphs. 3 * 314 = 942 glyphs are used up from Hb9-8 up to and including Hb3-6. But 9 * 8 = 72 = 2 * 36, while 3 * 6 = 18 = 36 / 2, as if to suggest a 'sun square' (because 4 * 18 = 72). On one hand we should search for a division into 'tertials' (942 / 3 = 314, on the other hand a division into 'quarters' (942 / 4 = 235.5). 354 glyphs is not much better, because 12 is divisible by 6, 4, 3, and 2:
942 / 2 = 471, a startling discovery (because it is equal to the number of glyphs in G). But we should have expected it, because we have earlier identified 471 with 150 % of 314. Where is glyph number 471 counted from Hb9-48? Hb9-48 is glyph number 412 + 48 = 460 (= 10 * 46) on side b. 648 - 460 = 188 glyphs remain on side b, i.e. we can take away 189 from 471 in order to see the number of glyphs we need to count from the beginning of side a. 471 - 189 = 282 = 275 + 7, equal to the ordinal number for Ha6-7 (counted from Ha1-1):
6 * 6 = 36 is a number which agrees with what we see in Ha6-6, a.m. is over. The first half of the sun daylight has reached to its end. 6 * 7 = 42 comes as next 'station', and the glyph type has changed to a less powerful variant:
Once again an example of how we should read in different frames of reference at the same time. The daylight is divided in two parts, similar to how the sun year is possible to divide in two parts. We must continue and look for 'dawn' and 'sundown' too. 471 / 2 = 235.5 and there must be a pair of glyphs at 'dawn', numbers 235 and 236 counted from Hb9-48: 235 - 189 = 46 (!) and it is Ha1-46:
'Sundown' should come with another pair. 471 + 235 = 706, i.e. the pair will be those with ordinal numbers 706 and 707 counted from Hb9-48: 706 - 189 = 517 = 502 + 15, i.e. Ha9-15:
'Sundown' it is. |
