RE: VMs: Astronomical Notes, Comments, and Replies

["Larry Roux" <lroux@xxxxxxx>]

I have done some additional work on the zodiac charts.  

Assuming that each "nymph" represented a day, I tried to find a
numerical system that would work for the corresponding words.

I have applied the following to f71v, f1r, and a couple others and found
the same result every time.

It appears that logical numbers may be obtained using the same method I
was trying with the glyphs earlier.

This works for those words beginning with eva "ot".  I am working on a
system for the others now.

If you take the words beginning with eva "ot" you can take the rest of
the letters and add up the values as follows:

q = 0
o = 1
l = 2
k or t = 3
ch or Sh = 4
a = 5
e or ee = 6
r = 7
d = 8
y or b = 9

you get a number.  

For instance, on f70v2 you get

oty = 9
otar = 12 (5+7)
oty ar = 21 (9 + 5 + 7)
otaldy = 24
etc.

If you do this for all the nymph "ot"s on the zodiac pages you get no
duplicate #s, and, more importantly, you do not get any < 15 in the
"light" page f71v but do not get any on the "dark" page f71r.  You do
get some on the "30 day" pages, which is logical.

May be just a coincidence that it worked for the 4 or 5  pages I looked
at so far, so I aint counting my chickens yet, and it appears that if
this is what is going on there is a different scheme for those that
start with "ok".

"That the number/letter correspondences on f49v work for
dates in the Astro section indicates that the Author didn't
bother to create new characters for the numbers, just
assigned them to letters, as shown in the alphabetic
arrangement I posted the other day."

	You state this as a fact rather than as a theory here. The
number/letter
correspondences
may appear to work on f49v for dates -- but that has not in fact been
proven. It is still quite
evident in my eyes that one can 'make' it look like a match to one of
the
millions of stellar
events that have happened over time focusing in on the ones you want it
to
match. The time lines
for your dates seem a little 'late' in my view - but that is only
supposition on my part.

	I think you should certainly keep focusing on finding more
matching date
information, including day, month, year. How come you haven't even
ventured
into the zodiac pages yet? With 30 'days' of data for each of the
available
zodiacs - if your numbers work - a consistent pattern should reveal a
consistent method to read the zodiac pages...
