Abstract:
Following the publication of the photographs from Manuscript H labeled with Pua Ara Hoa's name in the first part of the paper, we report the results of comparative analysis of Manuscripts H, A, C, and E. All three sections of Manuscript H–the list of rongorongo signs, the list of place names, and the list of the kings from Hiva and Easter Island–show remarkable differences with versions appearing in other manuscripts, suggesting that Manuscript H was possibly written on an earlier date. The Manuscripts A, C, and E could have been partially based on Manuscript H or another similar document.
Abstract:
Siguiendo la publicación de las fotografías del Manuscrito H inscrito con el nombre de Pua Ara Hoa, continuamos con una análisis comparativo de los Manuscritos H, A, C, y E. Las tres secciones del Manuscrito H–la lista de signos rongorongo, la lista de topónimos, y la lista de los reyes de Hiva y Rapa Nui-muestran considerables diferencias con las versiones que aparecen en otros manuscritos, sugiriendo que el Manuscrito H fue posiblemente escrito en una fecha temprana. Los Manuscritos A, C y E podrian estar parcialmente basados en el Manuscrito H o en algún otro documento similar.
