A2 = 9 × 144,000 = 1,296,000 A3 = 15 × 7,200 = 108,000 A4 = 0 × 360 = 0 A5 = 0 × 20 = 0 A6 = 0 × 1 = 0 --------- 1,404,000 Deducting from this number all the Calendar Rounds possible, 73 (see Table XVI), it may be reduced to 18,460. Applying to this number rules 1 and 2 (pp. 139 and 140, respectively), the day reached will be found to be 4 Ahau. Applying rule 3 (p. 141), the position of 4 Ahau in the year will be found to be 13 Yax. Therefore the terminal date determined by calculation will be 4 Ahau 13 Yax. {169} According to step 5 (p. 151), the day reached should follow immediately the last period glyph, which in this case was in A6; hence the day should be recorded in A7. This glyph has a coefficient 4, but the glyph does not resemble either of the forms for Ahau shown in B5, plate 6, _A_, or in B4a, _C_ of the same plate. However, by comparing this glyph with the second variant for the day sign Ahau in figure 16, _h'-i'_, the two forms will be found to be identical, and we may accept A7 as recording the day 4 Ahau. Immediately following in A8 is the month sign, again out of its usual place as in plate 6, _C_. Comparing it with the month signs in figure 19, it will be found to exactly correspond with the sign for Yax in _q-r_. The coefficient is 13. Therefore the terminal date recorded, 4 Ahau 13 Yax, agrees with the terminal date reached by calculation, and the whole Initial Series reads 9.15.0.0.0 4 Ahau 13 Yax. This date marks the close not only of a hotun in the Long Count, but of a katun as well. In _B_, plate 7, is figured the Initial Series from Stela A at Copan.[132] The introducing glyph appears in A1 B1, and is followed by the Initial-series number in A2-A4. The student will have no difficulty in picking out the clasped hand in A2, the oval in the top of the head in B2, the fleshless lower jaw in A3, the large mouth curl in B3, and the flaring subfix in A4, which are the essential elements of the head variants for the cycle, katun, tun, uinal, and kin, respectively. Compare these glyphs with figures 25, _d-f_, 27, _e-h_, 29, _e-g_, 31, _d-f_, and 34, _e-g_, respectively. The coefficients of these period glyphs are all normal forms and the student will have no difficulty in reading this number as 9.14.19.8.0.[133] Reducing this by means of Table XIII to units of the 1st order, we have: A2 = 9 × 144,000 = 1,296,000 B2 = 14 × 7,200 = 100,800 A3 = 19 × 360 = 6,840 B3 = 8 × 20 = 160 A4 = 0 × 1 = 0 --------- 1,403,800
