Beyond Te Pei and Te Pou arrives another pair of stations, Hua Reva and Akahanga:
The last deed of Hotu Matua was digging wells at Akahanga and enjoying a drink of fresh water from Hua Reva. Sweet drinking water connects the two stations. Furthermore, in G the similarity in shape and ordinal numbers between Gb3-4 and Gb4-4 suggests a connection. In A it is more difficult to find any connection between the two stations. Glyph line Aa7 is occupied by a special calendar, outside the rest of the text in A. Possibly Hua Reva is not mentioned in Tahua - one should be cautious and avoid to explicitly describe what is bad. As to the location of Akahanga in the text of A there is no doubt that Aa8-25 is situated at a cardinal point and that a major season ends here. |
