3. We know that glyph number 16 in a line
(representing a day of Jupiter) ends the first part of the line, and in Ga1-16
there happens to be a 'full stop' mark to the right of the oval 'zero':

If we wish to have Hanga Takaure
at Ga1-11, then it is necessary to let each kuhane
station beyond vaha mea in Ga1-4 correspond to 2 glyphs.
Otherwise Hatinga Te Kohe could not be at Ga1-4. There is a kind of logic in this, because the last te
station named by the kuhane of Hau Maka is Hatinga Te Kohe, the 10th and last
station of Sun, who has only 1 'leg' (or 'wing', etc)
whereas Moon and Venus have both waxing and waning faces.
At One Tea the Queen dies according to Manuscript E, and it becomes uncertain if
we should continue to count with 2 glyphs per kuhane station or not. If we
first consider Hanga Takaure (presumably Ga1-11--12) its 2nd
glyph type would be hanau ('birth'):
The open hand sign (at right in Ga1-12 and both
hands in Ga1-14) apparently is a development away from the 'dry straw'
(Y) hand sign in my prototype of hanau. It is plausible to
assign 2 glyphs for Hanga Takaure: The first glyph is showing
'the dry old bone', tagata with gagana head, and the 2nd
(hanau) glyph
could refer to the moment
when the living spirit (manu rere) has returned from the sky above
and entered the new body, reincarnated. A 'living hand' appears at right in Ga1-12
and is fully in place in Ga1-14. The
golden plover arrived where 'sea' turns to 'upraised reef':
...
Fakataka
swims and swims, reaching another land. She goes there and stays on
the upraised reef in the freshwater pools on the reef, and there
delivers her child, a boy child. She gives him the name
Taetagaloa. When the baby is born a golden plover flies over and
alights upon the reef. (Kua
fanau lā te pepe kae lele mai te tuli oi tū mai i te papa).
And so the woman
thus names various parts of the child beginning with the name 'the
plover' (tuli): neck (tuliulu), elbow (tulilima),
knee (tulivae) ...
Time is ripe to begin to build up a new man (tagata).
Therefore his limbs are mentioned. The cycle is closed here because
Fakataka has delivered a golden Sun baby, and haka-taka
(Fakataka) is to form a circle. From the name Hanga
Taka-ure we can deduce that ure is a name for Sun - a bay
(haga) is where sea and land are adjoining (the 'reef'), taka is where a
cycle is closed, and ure should refer to Spring Sun:
Taka
Taka,
takataka. Circle; to form circles,
to gather, to get together (of people). Vanaga.
1. A dredge. P Mgv.:
akataka,
to fish all day or all night with the line, to
throw the fishing line here and there. This can
only apply to some sort of net used in fishing.
We find in Samoa
ta'ā a small fishing line, Tonga taka
the short line attached to fish hooks, Futuna
taka-taka a fishing party of women in the
reef pools (net), Maori takā the thread
by which the fishhook is fastened to the line,
Hawaii kaa in the same sense, Marquesas
takako a badly spun thread, Mangareva
takara a thread for fastening the bait on
the hook. 2. Ruddy. 3. Wheel, arch; takataka,
ball, spherical, round, circle, oval, to roll in
a circle, wheel, circular piece of wood, around;
miro takataka, bush; haga takataka,
to disjoin; hakatakataka, to round, to
concentrate. P Pau.: fakatakataka, to
whirl around. Mq.: taka, to gird. Ta.:

i toou ure ka tata-mai, your colleague has turned up. 3.
Friendship, friendly relationship; ku-ké-á te ure,
they have become enemies (lit.: friendship has changed). 4.
Penis (this definition is found in Englert's 1938
dictionary, but not in La Tierra de Hotu Matu'a).
Ure tahiri, to gush, to spurt, to flow; e-ure
tahiri-á te toto, blood is flowing in gushes. Ure
tiatia moana, whirlwind which descend quickly and
violently onto the ocean; whirlpool, eddy. Vanaga.
Penis; kiri ure, prepuce, foreskin.
P Pau., Mgv., Ta.: ure, penis. Ureure, spiral.

Mgv.: urei, to uncover the eye by rolling back the

H. Ule 1. Penis. For imaginative
compounds see 'a'awa 1, 'aweule, ulehala,
ulehole, ulepa'a, ulepuaa, ule'ulu.
Kū ka ule, he'e ka laho, the penis is upright, the
scrotum runs away (refers to breadfruit: when the blossom (pōule)
appears erect, there will soon be fruit). 2. Tenon for a
mortise; pointed end of a post which enters the crotch of a
rafter (also called ma'i kāne). Ho'o ule, to
form a tenon or post for the crotch of a rafter. 3. To hang.
Wehewehe. |
Another clue is found at taka. The
word aka-taka, to fish all day or night with a line, has the
same beginning as aka-haga which explains both the appearance
of fishes dangling at the end of lines (Ga1-8, Ga1-10) and why the
left sign in Ga1-10 is equal to the glyph type in Ga1-3 (which glyph I
suggest corresponds to the 10th kuhane station
Akahanga):

If we compare with the text in E, there is a hua
('offspring') sign at right in Eb7-35 (where 73 * 5 = 365),
prolonged from a 'living hand', which agrees in general meaning with
