Once again. There is another fishhook in the G
text, though of lesser dignity, and this was evidently in principle
placed half a year later than the first one:

... Thus was
dry land fished up by Maui, which had lain beneath the
sea ever since the great rains that were sent by the Sky
father and the god of winds. The Maori people say that
the north island of Aotearoa, which certainly is
shaped much like a fish, is Te Ika a Maui; and
according to some tribes the south island is the canoe
from which he caught it. And his hook is the cape at
Heretaunga once known as Te matau a Maui,
Maui's Fishhook (Cape Kidnappers). In some of the other
islands which lie across the sea towards Hawaiki,
the people say that theirs is the land that Maui pulled
up from below ...

At heliacal Pollux (Ga2-22) there is a fish at left (in
the past) and a bird in front (ahead). A fish means low down and a
bird means high up. In other words, here the sky could have gone from low to
high. Or, the female fish could have 'changed sex' - come up to become like a bird
(male):
... Ta'aroa
sat in his heaven above the earth and conjured forth gods with
his words. When he shook off his red and yellow feathers they
drifted down and became trees. He created the first parents,
Tumu-nui, Great Foundation, to be the husband, and
Paparaharaha, Stratum Rock, to be the wife. He put the very
essence of himself into their creation; yet when he commanded
them to wed, each refused to go to the other. So Ta'aroa
created other gods and Atea, Bright Expanse, the
Sky-goddess, who dwelt in darkness in the confined sky Rumia.
By Papa-tuoi,
Thin Earth, Atea was the mother of children who became
artisans for Rai-tupua-nui, Great-Sky-builder. They
assisted him in erecting the ten heavens above the earth. In the
highest of these dwelt the god Tane, so it was called the
Sky-of-the-sacred-omens of Tane and
Sky-of-the-water-of-life of Tane. The next highest heaven
was called Hiro's Sky-of-prophets.
Atea
then became the wife of Rua-tupua-nui, Source of Great
Growth, and they became the parents of all the celestial beings,
first the shooting stars, then the Moon and the Sun, next the
comets, then the multitude of stars and constellations, and
finally the bright and dark nebulae.
When this tremendous
task had been accomplished Atea took a third husband,
Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event.
Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we
are not told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband
Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the eyes of
Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they
begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole
earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west

Probably the Toga Nui fish was brought up
from a place far down in the southwest (toga). And this
could have implied a kind of sacriledge, turou, because when the Fish came
up the preceding Bird had to be brought down (turu).

Balder was brought down by a very special kind of arrow
and then he was put to rest in peace on a ship, which however at first
refused to move (because it was solstice).
... According to
Gylfaginning, following the murder of Baldr by Loki, the
other gods brought his body down to the sea and laid him to rest
on the ship. They would have launched it out into the water and
kindled a funeral pyre for Baldr but were unable to move the
great vessel without the help of the giantess Hyrrokkin, who was
sent for out of Jötunheim. She then flung the ship so violently
down the rollers at the first push that flames appeared and the
earth trembled, much to the annoyance of Thor. Along with Baldr,
his wife Nanna was also borne to the funeral pyre after she had
died of grief. As Thor was consecrating the fire with his hammer
Mjolnir, a dwarf named Litr began cavorting at his feet. Thor
then kicked him into the flames and the dwarf was burned up as
well ...
The creation of a new fire needed a great power.
Hyrrokin seems to have corresponded to (≈)
Hunrakan (One Leg):
...
They walked in crowds
when they arrived at Tulan, and there was no fire. Only
those with Tohil had it: this was the tribe whose god was
first to generate fire. How it was generated is not clear. Their
fire was already burning when Jaguar Quitze and Jaguar
Night first saw it: 'Alas! Fire has not yet become ours.
We'll die from the cold', they said. And then Tohil
spoke: 'Do not grieve. You will have your own even when the fire
you're talking about has been lost', Tohil told them.
'Aren't you a true god! Our sustenance and our support! Our
god!' they said when they gave thanks for what Tohil had
said.
'Very
well, in truth, I am your god: so be it. I am your lord: so be
it,' the penitents and sacrificers were told by Tohil.
And this was the warming of the tribes. They were pleased by
their fire.
After that a great
downpour began, which cut short the fire of the tribes. And hail
fell thickly on all the tribes, and their fires were put out by
the hail. Their fires didn't start up again. So then Jaguar
Quitze and Jaguar Night asked for their fire again:
'Tohil, we'll be finished off by the cold', they told
Tohil. 'Well, do not grive', said Tohil. Then he
started a fire. He pivoted inside his sandal
...
On New Zealand the Bird was enticed to alight in
the top of a tree (turuturu, house post) where he was
caught in a snare:
...
Pewa-o-Tautoru, Bird-snare-of-Tautoru; the constellation
Orion in New Zealand. The Belt and Sword form the perch, te
mutu or te teke, while Rigel is the blossom cluster,
Puanga, used to entice the unsuspecting bird. To
visualize the bird-snare we must remember that Orion, as we see
it in the northern hemisphere, is upside down to the view
obtained from New Zealand where Orion stands in the northern sky
