The Polynesian word
varu (8) - as in Ana-varu
(8th star) - could be related to
varua (spirit):
|
Varu
1. To
cut one's hair (te
puoko). 2. To shave.
3. To paint, to put on
make-up: he varu te
kiea. Varu a-roto,
to have diarrhoea.
Vanaga.
1.
Eight. 2. To shave, to
remove the beard, to
shear, to clip, to rasp,
a plane. Varuvaru,
to peel, to remove the
bark, to plane, to
scrape, to shear.
Churchill. |
|
Varua
Spirit, soul; sleep,
dream. This is a
Tahitian word, but the
same term may have been
used in ancient times.
Vanaga. |
It should also be mentioned
that Heka (λ
Orionis) signifies a very special
place:
... λ
and the two stars phi furnish an easy
refutation of the popular error as to the
apparent magnitude of the moon's disc, Colas
writing of this in the Celestial Handbook
of 1892:
In looking at this triangle nobody would
think that the moon could be inserted in it;
but as the distance from
λ
to φ¹
is 27', and the distance from
φ¹
to φ²
is 33', it is a positive fact;
the moon's mean apparent diameter being 31'
7''.
This illusion, prevalent in all ages, has
attracted the attention of many great men;
Ptolemy, Roger Bacon, Kepler, and others
having treated of it. The lunar disc, seen
by the naked eye of an uninstructed
observer, appears, as it is frequently
expressed 'about the size of a
dinner-plate', but should be seen as only
equal to a peppercorn
...
The Sun's disc is about the
same size as that of the face of the Moon
and it could therefore be said that
λ Orionis could
hide the Sun:
|
Egyptian
menchet |
 |
Phoenician
lamedh |
 |
Greek
lambda |
Λ (λ) |
|
...
Wikipedia has no
information
regarding the origin
of the Phoenician
lamedh, but the
Egyptian 'cloth'
hieroglyph (menchet)
is - I suggest -
related to the 4
upside down sky
pillars. I.e. the
basic element of the
'covering'
hieroglyph could
have indicated
darkness:
