Ascher Databook Notes:

1. By spacing, the khipu is separated into two parts. The first part is 6 pendants, 3 MB:W followed by 3 KB:W, each with two positions of units knots and the values 1 & 9. The second part is two groups of 4 pendants each. Only one of them has a double units knot. The rest of them have values 0-19.
