Above I have added 4 to reach an ordered structure with 17 at the beginning of the new cycle. Beyond te-ka light has returned in full strength. Colours can therefore be assigned to the quartet of birds which follow. Kena probably represents white, and tavake can illustrate red by way of its beak and tail. Makohe is the frigate bird, and we should notice that it was Mako'e who who named the places in the 2nd list and who stayed alone on the island.
Maybe the frigate bird corresponds to black. The pattern with a change from black to white was used from Te Pei to Te Pou and also from Kumara to Kiakia. The central colour change of the bird list is from makohe to kena (from 10 to 11). As to kukuru toua we need a separate page. |
