The explorers reach Easter Island in a
'canoe' (vaka). The name of their craft is given
as Oraorangaru 'saved from the billows' (Brown
1924:40) or Te Oraora-miro 'the living-wood'
(ME:58). The Routledge reference 'Each (man went) on a
piece of wood' (RM:278) also seems to refer to the name
of the canoe. As far back as 1934, the name was no
longer understood. I favor the following explanation:
The difficulty in interpreting the name of the canoe of
the explorers arises from the name segment oraora.
To begin with, the compound form oraora ngaru
should be analyzed in comparison with other Polynesian
compounds, such as MAO. pare-ngaru 'that which
fends off the waves' (i.e., the hull of the boat), TAH.
tere-'aru 'that which moves through the waves'
(i.e., riding the waves on a board). There are several
possible translations for oraora as the
reduplication of ora. Te Oraora Miro can
be translated as 'the pieces of wood, tightly lashed
together' (compare TAH. oraora 'to set close
together, to fit parts of a canoe') and be taken to
refer to the method of construction of the explorer
canoe, while Oraora Ngaru means 'that which parts
the water like a wedge', or 'that which saves (one) from
the waves, that which is stronger than the waves'.

....
When Julius Caesar established his calendar in 45 BC he set
March 25 as the spring equinox. Since a Julian year (365.25
days) is slightly longer than an actual year the calendar
drifted with respect to the equinox, such that the equinox was
occurring on about 21 March in AD 300 and by AD 1500 it had
reached 11 March. This drift induced Pope Gregory XIII to create
a modern Gregorian calendar. The Pope wanted to restore the
edicts concerning the date of Easter of the Council of Nicaea of
AD 325 ...
There were 12 months in a year but during 4
of these a reversal (transition) took place.
...
One half was beginning with Janus (→
January) and half a year later came Anus.

... In China, with Capricornus,
Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius, it [Aquarius]
constituted the early Serpent, or Turtle, Tien Yuen;
and later was known as Hiuen Ying, the Dark
Warrior and Hero, or Darkly Flourishing One, the
Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty,
which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol
of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a
great deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became
Paou Ping, the Precious Vase. It contained three of
the sieu, and headed the list of zodiac signs as
the
Rat, which in the far East was the ideograph for
'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of Central
Asia, Cochin China, and Japan ...
... If the moral
attitudes of primitive man are hard for the Western mind to
grasp and translate into familiar terms, there can hardly be one
more so than the Maori notion of cooked food as the lowest
thing, the furthest opposite to the sacred, in fact filthy.
For us to divest our minds of Christian
notions of good and evil and substitute the concept of simple
payment, harm for harm (or 'revenge', as we commonly call it
with a misleading moral overtone), is simple enough - perhaps
because every schoolchild has at some time known the latter in
his horrid heart. Even the Maori custom of weeping over friends
when they arrive instead of when they depart has a certain logic
that is not beyond our comprehension. But to enter, against all conditioning, into
the minds of a people for whom cooked food and the act of eating
could carry the overtones of meaning that we in our greater
wisdom attach to their physical opposites and to sex, is a good
deal harder. One has somehow to throw
the mind into a state of being that is radically unlike ours.
Yet if the trick can be done, a light comes on
...
... 'The rays drink up the little waters of
the earth, the shallow pools, making them rise, and then descend
again in rain.' Then, leaving aside
the question of water,
he summed up his argument: 'To draw up and then return what one
had drawn - that is the life of the world' ...
Well, well, well!

... Cleaning of the
banana plantations, but only in the morning since the sun
becomes too hot later in the day. Problems with drought. Good
month for fishing and the construction of houses (because of the
long days) ...
... Another year passed, and a man by the
name of Ure Honu went to work in his banana plantation.
He went and came to the last part, to the 'head' (i.e., the
upper part of the banana plantation), to the end of the banana
plantation. The sun was standing just right for Ure Honu
to clean out the weeds from the banana plantation.
On the first day he hoed

the weeds. That went
on all day, and then evening came. Suddenly
a rat came from the middle of
the banana plantation. Ure Honu saw it and ran after
it. But it disappeared and he could not catch it. On the second
day of hoeing, the same thing happened with the rat. It ran
away, and he could not catch it. On the third day, he reached
the 'head' of the bananas and finished the work in the
plantation. Again the rat ran away, and Ure Honu followed
it. It ran and slipped into the hole of a stone. He poked after
it, lifted up the stone, and saw that the skull was (in the
hole) of the stone. (The rat was) a spirit of the skull (he
