It is possible to identify parallel sequences to some of these
glyphs in other rongorongo texts. Let us start by comparing
with a useful text in Large Santiago Tablet (H):
We can now decipher the right part of Eb6-5 as consisting of 'red' (canoe) + Clara-knife. Sometimes 'half a canoe' is more or less equivalent with 'henua' (Eb6-9 / Hb12-33). The 'atua' may have a circular form (Eb6-12 / Hb12-37). Note that the start of these parallel sequences are similar to the start of the important 7th period of Keiti. Let us now proceed with careful small steps trying to unravel this puzzle by comparing with other texts. |
