Khipu Notes

Beginning with Pendant 73, the cords seem to be in a position where they would not hang below main cord but rather "stand" like a top cord.
First pendant in every group has two decimals and a knot value higher than any of its pendants except Group 2.
Lowest knot value cord is always last in group except in Group 6.
Groups 5 and 6 both have knot total of 38. Total knot values from Group 1 to Group 6 get progressively greater. 218, 125, 69, 59, 38, 38.
Groups 3, 4, and 5 share a color pattern: 2 YB 2 AB, 5 YB.
