Rau Rau 1. (Also: raupá) leaf of a plant, stem and leaves. 2. Hundred: e tahi te rau, e rua te rau, etc., 100, 200... Also seems to have been used in the meaning of 'many'. Tu'u henua rau, someone who has travelled to many countries (such were called in the 19th century natives who had travelled abroad, employed as sailors). Compare with: tai raurau-á riki. Vanaga.

Ra'u maahu, ancient expression, literally: to appropriate the steam (maahu) of the food just taken out of an earth oven. It refers to intruders coming to help themselves uninvited.

Barthel has apparently not understood that Sive and Bu could have been changed from Tive respectively Pu in order to load the names with more meaning (adjuncts):

1 Honga	2 Te Kena	3 Nuku Kehu	4 Nga Vavai	5 Oti
6 Sive	7 Ngehu	8 Hatu	9 Tuki	10 Bu

Oti is a variant of koti and probably here serves to indicate the end of the first group of 5 persons. The sequence of 10 is divided in half after number 5.

My glyph type koti illustrates the idea (cfr at Koti):

Next we can put the last fishing ground Ko Rangi Meamea in its context by connecting it to the 21st kuhane station, probably a 'Tuesday' because Moon (as 'the earth turtle') should have the 20th (= 2 * 10) station:

Taharoa was also the place where the birth process of the king's wife (Vakai) began:

... When Hotu's canoe had reached Taharoa, the vaginal fluid (of Hotu's pregnant wife) appeared. They sailed towards Hanga Hoonu, where the mucus (kovare seems to refer to the amniotic sac in this case) appeared. They sailed on and came to Rangi Meamea, where the amniotic fluid ran out and the conctractions began. They anchored the canoe in the front part of the bay, in Hanga Rau. The canoe of Ava Rei Pua also arrived and anchoraged ...

Kovare Mucous plug; he-poreko te kovare, the mucous plug comes out (before the birth). Vanaga.

Vare Spittle, drivel, any viscous liquid; viscous; vare mâmari, egg white; pipi-vare, slug. Vanaga. Varevare, steep, rugged. Tu.: vare, to lose consciousness. Barthel 2. 1. Hakavare, to crisp, to plaster; hakavarevare, to level. 2. Driveler. P Mgv.: vare, clumsy, inept. Turivare, abscess at the knee. Varegao, to speak indistinctly, to offend, to pretend. Varevare: 1. Steep, rugged. 2. Smooth, plain, without rocks; horo varevare, without branches; tino varevare, slender; kona varevare, open place, court, market place. PS Sa.: valevale, fat. To.: valevale, young, tender, applied to babies. In Nuclear Polynesia it is difficult to dissociate this vale from the vale conveying the sense of ignorance. In Samoa this varevare appears only as applied, lē valevale, to a hog that is not fat. It is probable that varevare 2 preserves the Proto-Samoan primitive and that the sense-invert, in the preceding item, is directed away from the germ-sense. Churchill.

We should remember the pair of holes in the sky which were created when God removed 2 stars from the Bear constellation to plug holes in the Pleiades, holes which had been created from stars removed - I suggest to be the new Sun (son) and the new Moon (daughter) of the old generation. These 2 children had probably been brought down together from the sky at the same time:

... Now the deluge was caused by the male waters from the sky meeting the female waters which issued forth from the ground. The holes in the sky by which the upper waters escaped were made by God when he removed stars out of the constellation of the Pleiades; and in order to stop this torrent of rain, God had afterwards to bung up the two holes with a couple of stars borrowed from the constellation of the Bear. That is why the Bear runs after the Pleiades to this day; she wants her children back, but she will never get them till after the Last Day ...

In a way it resembles how Kuukuu was eliminated by the turtle and brought into a hole (cfr at Pipi Horeko). Then only 6 'stone heaps' remained outside, probably corresponding to the 6 stars (Tau-toru) in Mata-riki (the small 'eyes', the Pleiades).

Hanga Hoonu should be the station where the 'plugs' were removed from the sky roof, and the first of the plugs could be Dubhe. On the other hand the first of the plugs (Sun) could be the triplet of pillars from 1 to 3, and the second plug (Moon) the quartet of pillars from 4 to 7:

The location of Ana-tipu in our sky map must be defined:

Ana-mua	183	Ana-muri
day 141		day 325
184 = 8 * 23
185 days

30	18	Procyon	26	Alphard	23	Ana-tipu	34	Ana-roto	12	Arcturus	32
		day 9		day 36		day 60		day 95		day 108
	104 = 2 * 52							46 = 2 * 23
	2 * 75 = 150 days
180 days

I have eliminated the question marks but of course they anyhow remain in the background. With black I have indicated the weak (dark, back, 2nd) side. Red means Sun, but even he comes to a (temporary) end. Moon can be said to have both a front side (blue) and a back side (black).

11 * 60 + 1 = 661, and 661 / 4 = 165¼. Ana-roto is at day number (13 *  60 + 23) / 4 = 200¾. Therefore Ana-tipu should have been at day number 95 - (200¾ -  165¼) = 59½, or why not day 60.

The position of Alphard can be determined by the same method: (9 * 60 + 25) / 4 = 141½, and 95 - (200¾ -  141½) = 35½, or why not day 36.

G has glyph number 60 as the last one in line a2. As to my ordinal numbers marked with asterisk - cfr at Elbow Ornaments:
