One over-used technique in the rongorongo research has been the linguistic speculation in regard to its real meaning. This has produced, over the years, a variety of individual translations, some of them faulty, and some merely unverifiable. Since a structural analysis tends to offer a conservative, realistic view—more like raw data—the author has proceeded to make a corpus-based study of one of the extant rongorongo documents, tablet 'Keiti' (text E). The study reports on a pattern found on tablet 'Keiti' (text E) that repeats itself 10 times, consisting of almost equal lengths of glyphs of similar designs. This pattern is another piece of evidence that supports researchers' claims in regard to repetitive patterns documented across the rongorongo corpus. The current analysis, by targeting glyphic sequences and establishing a possible partition, may gradually lead to an understanding of the textual content of the document.
