"Dixon cites a curious Marquesan myth preserved by Von den Steinen. There was first a primeval void. From a swelling, a seething, a dark surging and whirling, a bubbling and swallowing arose a whole series of supports or posts, great, small, long, short, straight, crooked, and bent. There arose innummerable and endless supports and in particular the Foundation, the Firmness, Space and Light, and cliffs of various sorts. In the course of evolution there were brought forth substance and solid matter." (Makemson)

Ha6-6:

This glyph is a compound between GD32 and 'haga' (GD36), meaning that at this cardinal point a major turning around occurs.

In the day calendar of H this toki stands at noon. The four cardinal points of the year have their parallels in the day: dawn, noon, sundown and midnight.

From noon the sun no longer is increasing its power but turning downwards towards the horizon again, while its strength is diminishing, that is the major turning around illustrated by haga.

Kb4-7:

At the bottom of GD32 there is a sign of 'viri' (GD33), i.e. we read 'solstice'. Its location in this calendar of the year makes it obvious that it must be winter solstice.

The central role of winter solstice in the calendars implies that this 'toko' is a central straight pillar, not a bent one as is found in the four supporting 'bacabs'.

Ha5-56:

The morning sun (three flames at bottom) is rising in the east, indicated by a combination with kai (eating, GD52) - meaning 'growing' (the result of eating). The 'person' who is eating is not the sun but a pillar pushing up the morning sky (GD32).

Aa1-46:

At the end of the night (tôa, GD47) the dawn pillar is being born.
