Coordinating the 24 first kuhane stations with the year Barthel 2 has suggested the following (the table is adapted by me):
Winter solstice occurs in June and I have blackmarked the month with its two halves. The 'house' at summer solstice probably has Te Pou (Sirius) as a 'ragi pillar' erected already in July. Notice the similarities between the names Te Pou and Te Pau (in Haga Te Pau) - as if mirror images of each other - one at the beginning and the other at the end of the year. Te Pau is located before winter solstice, while Te Pou comes after winter solstice. |
