A question that comes up quickly is how large the corpus actually is. The number of figures is exact: two hundred fifty six, being sixteen columns paired with sixteen. The number of verses is not.
The tradition speaks of a very large body of ese standing under each figure, and figures quoted in the literature for how much verse exists, or how much a diviner is expected to hold, vary considerably from source to source. That variation is not carelessness. A corpus held in memory across many lineages has no edge to count to, no complete copy anywhere to audit, and no reason to be the same size in two different places. What has been recorded can be counted; what exists cannot.
The atlas therefore does not assert a number of verses for Oturupon Meji, twelfth of the sixteen principal figures in the published sequence, or for any of its neighbours. Stating a figure would give a false impression of precision about the one part of the subject that is genuinely unbounded.
What can be stated exactly is the structure: eight marks in two columns of four, sixteen matched figures, two hundred forty unmatched ones, two hundred fifty six in total, each an address into the corpus.
The material standing under Oturupon Meji, and the reading a diviner draws from it, is conferred within initiated practice and is not reproduced here.
