I suggest the constellations in Gb5-12 respectively in Hb9-51--52 are to be read as Haga Te Pau, the bay in which the explorers under Ira anchored (during the darkest time of the year):
The strange bulbous leg is a clubfoot (va'e pau):
Pau also means to 'run out', as for instance in the idea that time has run out. The season has finished (pau). There is a slightly different meaning in Hb9-51--52 compared with Gb5-12. In Hb9-52 va'e pau is at left, probably meaning 'in the past', while in Gb5-12 va'e pae is at right, probably meaning 'in front of us' (present). Maybe the message is that the week ended (in a way) already with Friday, the 6th day. |
