- This khipu consists of 2 main cords tied together. The main cord on each part is a different color. Part I, by spacing, contains 3 groups of 9, 9, 8 pendants and Part II, by spacing, contains 4 groups of 9, 9, 9, 6 pendants, respectively.
- For comparison of Part I and Part II, the khipu is represented in Table 1
Note that:
- When the numbers in Part I are compared with the numbers in Part II, of 36 possible matches, 5 are unknown due to breakage, 4 have no comparable cords, and 23 are the same. In the 4 cases where differences are present, the value in Part I is larger than the value in Part II. (In 3 of the 4 cases, the values differ by 1 on 1 pendant in each of the 3 groups. The fourth case is a difference of 3 on a subsidiary.)
- When the colors in Part I are compared with the colors in Part II, of 36 possible matches, 4 have no comparable cords and 11 are the same. (The 11 similarities do not occur on subsidiaries and include only colors W, BB:W, AB:W.)
- Subsidiaries occur in the same positions in Part I and Part II. d) Although some colors appear on both Part I and Part II, BB and AB:BB appear only on Part I, while G@, GY, and YB:GY appear only on Part II.
- In Part I, the digit 1 in the units position is represented by a figure eight knot. In Part II, single knots are used instead.
- For comparison of the second and third groups within each Part, see Table 2.
Note that:
- In Part I, of 9 possible number matches, 1 has no comparable cord and 5 are the same. In the 3 cases where differences are present, the value in group 3 is larger than the value in group
- In Part II, of 9 possible number matches, 4 are unknown due to breakage, and 4 are the same. In the 1 case of difference, the value in group 3 is larger than the value in group 2.
- In Part I, of 9 possible color matches, 1 has no comparable cord and 2 are the same.
- In Part II, of 9 possible color matches, 2 are the same.
- Comparing the first 6 groups to each other the values have the following consistencies in rank order:
- For all 6 groups with and without subsidiaries: Pos 4
(breakage is ignored) - For groups 2, 3, 4 without subsidiaries, 5, 6: Pos 4
(breakage is ignored)
- For all 6 groups with and without subsidiaries: Pos 4
- The last group has all 6 pendants blank and turned upward. These might refer to the previous 6 groups (3 in Part I, 3 in Part II)
