Fact is that
the table below summarizes two ways to count to ika hiku,
either from the onset of winter solstice (*Qb5-17) and 300 days
forward up to and including the day with the first ika hiku (Qb2-15), or from the 1st
day of the calendar (*Qb5-35--36) and 295 days forward up to
and including the
second ika hiku (Qb2-24):
|
|
144 |
452 |
|
|
*Qb5-17
(1) |
*Qb5-18 |
Qb2-15 |
Qb2-16
(454) |
300 days |
|
|
126 |
460 |
|
|
*Qb5-35 (1) |
*Qb5-36 |
Qb2-23 |
Qb2-24
(462) |
295 days |
But there is
another alternative to consider. We can begin to count from the
'Rogo day' (day 363), instead of from the onset of winter
solstice (*Qb5-17):
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Qb5-17 |
*Qb5-18 |
*Qb5-19 |
*Qb5-20 |
*Qb5-21 |
*Qb5-22 |
360 |
361 |
362 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Qb5-23 |
*Qb5-24 |
*Qb5-25 |
*Qb5-26 |
*Qb5-27 |
*Qb5-28 |
363 |
300 + 64 = 364 |
365 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Qb5-29 |
*Qb5-30 |
*Qb5-31 |
*Qb5-32 |
*Qb5-33 |
*Qb5-34 |
366 |
367 |
368 |
|
|
|
|
*Qb5-35 |
*Qb5-36 |
*Qb5-37 |
*Qb5-38 |
369 |
370 |
This way we
will have a nice 70 days to the end of side b:
|
|
138 |
*Qb5-23 (1) |
*Qb5-24 |
70 |
And on side a we can then adjust the end to be with Qb2-11--12:
448 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Qb2-11 |
Qb2-12 |
Qb2-13 |
Qb2-14 |
Qb2-15 |
Qb2-16 |
225 |
226 |
227 |
By this method we
have once again reached 295 days. |
