Bb5.3
For 3 days Ure Honu ran after the
Rat who was he kuhane o te puoko:
... 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
kuhane o te puoko) ...

... Originally
the highly born family of the Sun, Moon, and stars
dwelt in a cave on the summit of Maunga-nui,
Great Mountain, in the ancient homeland. They were
not at all comfortable in their gloomy home for they
could not see distinctly and their eyes watered
constantly. After the Sky-father had been elevated
to his present eminence Tane decided that the
celestial family would be happier in the sky, where
they would serve the double purpose of ornamenting
the naked body of Rangi and giving light to
the Earth-mother. Since Papa had already been
turned with her face toward the Underworld it is
difficult to see how she would benefit by the
illumination ... |

Castor, the Beaver rat (Castor Fiber) was
building his house down in the water and his star culminated at 21h
in February 23. Here the Ghost of Jupiter (his kuhane) was at
the Full Moon.
... The leap day was introduced as part of the
Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was
doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth',
since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March'
using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day').
Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum
(February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or
'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be
regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was
replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ... |

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 ...
