German ethnologist Thomas Barthel, who first published the rongorongo corpus, identified three lines on the recto (side a) of tablet C, also known as Mamari, as a lunar calendar.[47] Guy proposed that it was more precisely an astronomical rule for whether one or two intercalary nights should be inserted into the 28-night Rapanui month to keep it in sync with the phases of the moon, and if one night, whether this should come before or after the full moon.[48] Berthin and Berthin propose that it is the text which follows the identified calendar which shows where the intercalary nights should appear.[49] The Mamari calendar is the only example of rongorongo whose function is currently accepted as being understood, though it cannot actually be read.
