Ea To rise, to get up. Ka ea ki táû rikiriki tâtou. Let's get up and play a little game of war. To go out, to bring out; ea ki aho, to send away; raa ea mai, the sun rises; ka ea, be off.

Iri 1. To go up; to go in a boat on the sea (the surface of which gives the impression of going up from the coast): he-eke te tagata ki ruga ki te vaka, he-iri ki te Hakakaiga, the men boarded the boat and went up to Hakakainga. 2. Ka-iri ki puku toiri ka toiri. Obscure expression of an ancient curse. Iri-are, a seaweed.

Oho 1. To go: ka-oho! go! go away! (i.e. 'goodbye' said by the person staying behind); ka-oho-mai (very often contracted to: koho-mai), welcome! (lit.: come here); ku-oho-á te tagata, the man has gone. Ohoga, travel, direction of a journey; ohoga-mai, return. 2. Also rauoho, hair. 1. To delegate; rava oho, to root. 2. To go, to keep on going, to walk, to depart, to retire; ka oho, begone, good-bye; oho amua, to preced; oho mai, to come, to bring; oho arurua, to sail as consorts; hakaoho, to send, a messenger. 3. Tehe oho te ikapotu, to abut, adjoin; mei nei tehe i oho mai ai inei te ikapotu, as far as, to; kai oho, to abstain, to forego; hakaoho, to put on the brakes. 4. The head (only in the composite rauoho, hair).

From this it seems possible to guess that all the rising 'fishes' beyond Hanga Te Pau are depicting the whole party moving away from the 'ground station' upwards, because the Sun 'fish' (Ira) is rising from the 'waters' in the day of Saturn (Gb5-11):

Gb5-10	Gb5-11	Gb5-12	Gb5-13	Gb5-14	Gb5-15	Gb5-16

Gb5-17	Gb5-18	Gb5-19	Gb5-20	Gb5-21	Gb5-22	Gb5-23

We should also note that iri-are is a kind of seaweed. The 11th kuhane station Roto Iri Are should therefore be connected with this time of the year, when the 'sweet potato' (Sun) is coming up again (iri) from the ground (are):

Are To dig out (e.g. sweet potatoes). Formerly this term only applied to women, speaking of men one said keri, which term is used nowadays for both sexes, e.g. he-keri i te kumara, he digs out sweet potatoes. To dig, to excavate.

Or if we think of seaweed, rising from the middle of (roto) the sea. The 'land' of summer lies in front, and the agricultural year will begin with Mars (in September), which is not very different from how it was with the Mayas:

On February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in, 'diviners', begin the agricultural year ... Later on in this series of rituals, the Chorti go through a ceremony they call raising the sky. This ritual takes place at midnight on the twenty-fifth of April and continues each night until the rains arrive ...

Moving uphill the explorers will induce Mother Nature to follow suit and raise the dome of the sky. This 'ceremony' of raising the sky roof performed by the explorers took place on the 10th day (i te angahuru o te ra) of Maro.

In the calendar text of G winter solstice seems to lie in the past (day 360), but if we equate the 10th day of Maro with June 10, then winter solstice should lie in front. Therefore the explorers ought to go back in the geography in order to get winter solstice in front. They did not land as they should have done at Te Pu Mahore but instead moved on beyond Rano Kau:

Around Rano Kau
Te Pu Mahore	Te Poko Uri
Te Manavai	Te Kioe Uri

Along the southern coast
