Once again:
With Rogo coming 9 days later than day 400, we can deduce that when Rogo reaches midsummer (with day 121 counted from Gb6-26) the 400-day year ought to have reached midsummer already 9 days earlier:
The curious Ga5-1 seems to indicate day 185 counted from Gb6-17. Henua period number 16 agrees well, because 16 = 4 * 4, and the new glyph line is number 5. 400 + 185 = 585 = 13 * 45 = 13 * 20 + 13 * 25 = 65 * (4 + 5). Ga5-15 indicates half a year too, because there are 6 feathers at left and 6 at right. It ought to refer to the beginning of midsummer counted from tamaiti. 126 + 64 = 190 counted from Rogo at Gb6-26 equals the point in time where 126 + 59 = 185 is counted from tamaití. Tamaiti is glyph number 14 counted from 400 and 59 + 14 = 73 (= 365 /5) is what should be added to the ordinal numbers for glyphs counted from Gb8-30. E.g. 112 + 73 = 185 and 126 + 73 = 199. Ga5-16 is glyph number 200 counted from glyph number 400: We must back to our trail. Next page:
At last we have 'proof' that time runs not only from left to right in the text but also from bottom up. The 'cap' is a later stage of the top of the preceding puo (Ca3-11). Then, suddenly the fusion of kiore and henua has resulted in two fists held high, and it is the first day of the new cycle. Hanau glyphs always have a front view, because they integrate past and future. Two 'eyes' are standard, one referring to the past and the other to the future. Maybe the left 'fist' held high in Ca3-14 therefore represents old sun, corresponding to the 'cup'. A part of him has returned at right as his 'splitting image'. Ca3-14 is glyph number 65 from Ca1-1. Let us compare mago mea ke koti with the glyphs from number 400 in G:
The young 2nd moon (Gb6-23) corresponds to tamaiti in position. Then follows the old one. Rei in Cb12-17 could refer to the old one. 12 * 15 = 180 and 7 * 2 = 14. Then follows '1 more'. Gb6-22 has ordinal number 405 = 5 * 9 * 9. 413 is 16 * 29.5 while 180 obviously instead refers to half 360, a solar measure. Maybe Gb6-22 indicates the end of a Venus cycle? 5 and 99 could be an allusion:
Atariki in Cb12-16 should be a 'child', too. It has ordinal number 392 + 290 = 682, possibly to be interpreted as 681 + 1. 290 - 244 = 46 is the ordinal number (counted from Cb1-1) of Cb2-22:
Cb2-22 is a rather special glyph. 46 is the dark number, and -22 we recognize from the two rau hei above. Looking at other kai glyphs in C there is not one quite like Cb2-22. These are those with a slight resemblance:
However, the match of patterns is different:
Maybe atariki is such a strong sign that it forces 242 into 243:
290 is 10 * 29, a dark number, similar in 'colour' to atariki in Ga1-24. Furthermore, 24 indicates the end of a cycle, which also 12 * 16 = 192 does.It is possible to adjust in G so that also there 243 will be the number between:
Now the last glyph is number 245, the day which ends the rau hei season. The old one 'goes temporally down' (like mimosa, rau hei, in the evening). Maybe 245 means 24 * 5 = 120 days? Or - more probable - 2 * 45 = 90 days, equal to the last quarter of the year. But also atariki in Ga1-24 should be 'black'. And Rogo comes beyond Gb6-25. We must count with 246 days in the rau hei season. 472 - 246 = 226 (as if alluding to Ga6-22). 392 + 292 = 684 = 19 * 36. We must have 247 days, according to C. 8 weeks will then remain, 292 + 56 = 348. Niu at Cb12-18 completes 292 days, and 12 * 18 = 216 = the number of days on each side of H. 247 + 225 = 472 in G. 225 = 9 * 25 = 5 * 45, and 247 = 13 * 19. Therefore 684 = 19 * 36 can be divided into 19 * 13 + 19 * 23 = 247 + 437. |
