It looks as if
the neck of the great Eagle has
been broken. |
... This [η
Carinae] is one of the most
noted objects in the heavens,
perhaps even so in almost
prehistoric times, for
Babylonian inscriptions seem to
refer to a star noticeable from
occasional faintness in its
light, that Jensen thinks was
η. And
he claims it as one of the
temple stars associated with Ea,
or Ia, of Eridhu, the Lord of
Waters, otherwise known as
Oannes, the mysterious human
fish and greatest god of the
kingdom ... |
CLOSE TO THE SUN: |
... Midsummer
is the flowering season of the
oak, which is the tree of
endurance and triumph, and like
the ash is said to 'court the
lightning flash'. Its roots are
believed to extend as deep
underground as its branches rise
in the air - Virgil mentions
this - which makes it emblematic
of a god whose law runs both in
Heaven and in the Underworld ...
The month, which takes its name
from Juppiter the oak-god,
begins on June 10th and ends of
July 7th. Midway comes St.
John's Day, June 24th, the day
on which the oak-king was
sacrificially burned alive. The
Celtic year was divided into two
halves with the second half
beginning in July, apparently
after a seven-day wake, or
funeral feast, in the oak-king's
honour

Mahina. The moon;
maeha mahina, moonshine. P Mgv.:
mahina, light; maina, the moon,
moonlight. Mq.: mahina, moon, month.
Peculiar interest attatches to Mangareva
mahina in the sense light, for before
the Proto-Samoan was touched by the later
Tongafiti influence masina was not
the moon but the shining orb and therefore
particularly the sun ... Churchill.
Ma. (Prep.) for
(found in some cases instead of mo).
Vanaga. 1. And, with, in addition. P Pau.:
ma, together with. Mgv.: ma,
for, with. Mq.: ma, and. Ta.: ma,
and, with. ... we may say of ma that
it points to the non-ego and not-here and
links it to the central concept of that
which is active and present ... we should
hold the consonantal value as carrying the
linking, conjunctive, associative sense; the
shade of variety in meaning would be found
to exist as the nucleus of the e and
of the o respectively - Churchill 2.
2. Shame; hakama, shame, confusion,
timid, to blush, bashfulness. P Pau.:
mataki, shame. Mgv.: akama,
shame, bashfulness, modesty, shy. Mq.:
maamaa, ninny, simpleton. Ta.: haama,
timidity, shameful, confused. Churchill.
Ta. OR. Write,
writing. The name of writing before the term
rongorongo in 1871 became current.
Fischer. 1. To tattoo ( = tatú), to
tattoo pictures on the skin, also: he-tá
ite kona, tá-kona. 2. To weave (a net):
he-tá i te kupega. 3. To shake
something, moving it violently up and down
and from one side to the other; he-tá e
te tokerau i te maga miro, the wind
shakes the branches of the trees; also in
the iterative form: e-tá-tá-ana e te
tokerau i te tôa, the wind continuously
shakes the leaves of the sugarcane. 4. To
pull something up suddenly, for instance, an
eel just caught, dropping it at once on a
stone and killing it: he-tá i te koreha.
Tá-tá-vena-vena, ancient witching
formula. Vanaga. 1. Of. 2. This, which. 3.
Primarily to strike: to sacrifice, to
tattoo, to insert, to imprint, to write, to
draw, to copy, to design, to color, to
paint, to plaster, to note, to inscribe, to
record, to describe, number, letter, figure,
relation; ta hakatitika, treaty;
ta igoa, sign; ta ki, secretary;
ta kona, to tattoo; ta vanaga,
secretary. Churchill. ... the root ta
through its long series of known
combinations carries a strongly featured
sense of action that is peripheral,
centrifugal, and there seems to be at least
a suspicion of the further connotation that
the action is exerted downward ... The
secondary sense of cutting will easily be
seen to be a striking with a specialized
implement, and we find this sense stated
without recognition of the primal striking
sense only in Mangareva, Nukuoro, Viti, and
Malekula. In Indonesia this secondary sense
is predominant, although Malagasy ta
may come somewhat close to the striking idea
... Churchill 2.
To.
1. Particle sometimes used with the
article in ancient legends; i uto to te
hau, the ribbon was in the float. 2. To
rise (of the sun) during the morning hours
up to the zenith: he-to te raá.
Vanaga. 1. Of. T Pau., Ta.: to, of.
Mgv.: to, genitive sign. Mq.: to,
of, for. 2. This, which. Churchill. Mgv.:
To, to make a canoe of planks. Mq.:
to, to build a canoe. Sa.: to, to
build. Churchill.
Ó; 1. Prepositon
marking the genitive. 2. Preposition
expressing the cause, the reason: because of
(also i): e-tahataha-á te vaka o
te tokerau. the boat rocks from side to
side because of the wind. 3. Lest, in order
not to... e-ûi koe o higa, be careful
not to fall. 4. Sometimes used as
conditional: if, whether; ina kai agiagi
au o tu'u-mai te Matu'a, I don't know if
the Padre has arrived. 5. Article sometimes
used preceding proper names; ó Hotu
Matu'a, ó Santiago. 6. To answer saying
'oh'; ana ragi te tagata ki te rua
tagata, 'hé koe?', he-ó-mai, he-kî: 'ó, î
au', when a man calls another, asking
'where are you?' (the other) answers saying
'oh, I am here'. O; to celebrate a
festival: he-o i te gogoro. Vanaga.
1. Tai o, rippling water. (Compare in

Of. Mgv., Mq., Ta.: o, of. 3. A verb
sign; o mua, at first; ina o nei,
to be away (not-being-here). Churchill.... The
'old woman' (nuahine) who 'lights a

is sitting at full moon, personifying the
moon: [Englert 1948,
165:] '... se selia nombrar Ko te Nuahine
káumu à rangi kote kote que significa:
La vieja que enciende el curanto en el cielo
kotekote. Puedo haber sido una
personificación de la luna porque las viejos
decían, comentando este nombre, que no es
una montaña que seve en la luna, sino una
mujer anciana que está suntada [sentada?] al
lado un gran curanto umu pae (de
piedras en circulo)

No right ascension dates should be listed in
parallel with these glyphs, because precession
gradually moves the Sun earlier and earlier in
the year (as measured against the fixed stars).
Dates are not fixed, they are evolving.
Furthermore, observations of the night sky depends on when
in the diurnal cycle such observations will take
place:
... Crux lies in the Milky
Way, - here a brilliant but narrow stream three
or four degrees wide, - and is noticeable from
its compression as well as its form, being only
6º in extent from north to south, and less in
width, the upper star a clear orange in color,
and the rest white; the general effect being
that of a badly made kite, rather than a cross
...
... Whittier said, in his
Cry of a Lost Soul: 'The Cross of pardon
lights the tropic skies'; which is correct for
our day, as it is not now entirely visible above
27º 30' of north latitude. It was last seen on
the horizon of Jerusalem - 31º 46' 45'' - about
the time that Christ was crucified. But 3000
years previously all its stars were 7º above the
horizon of the savages along the shores of the
Baltic Sea, in latitude 52º 30' ...
Von Humboldt adds: The two great stars, which
marks the summit and the foot of the Cross,
having nearly the same right ascension, it
follows that the constellation is almost
perpendicular at the moment when it passes the
meridian. This circumstance is known to the
people of every nation situated beyond the
Tropics or in the southern hemisphere. It has
been observed at what hour of the night, in
different seasons, the Cross is erect or
inclined. It is a time piece, which advances
very regularly nearly four minutes a day, and no
other group of stars affords to the naked eye an
observation of time so easily made. How often
have we heard our guides exclaim in the
savannahs of Venezuela and in the desert
extending from Lima to Truxillo, 'Midnight is
past, the Cross begins to bend' ...
