I continue the subject
matter as follows in a quite long page:
The implication is that Maui
dropped his loin cloth (maro) because
he was drawing up the land ('the fish')
which had been 'inundated' (similar to when
in ancient Egypt the greatest of all the
stars, Sirius, forced the waters of the Nile
to recede). Maui had to move from June
(Maro) to Anakena (July).

An explanation might
be to state that τ Aquilae marked
where in the time of Gregorius XIII
the Sun had reached day 299 counted
from spring equinox, whereas Altair
was preceding this day by precisely
3 days ('footprints'):
Egyptian sticks |
|
Phoenician
taw |
|
Greek chi |
Χ (χ) |
Greek tau |
Τ (τ) |
In Plato's
Timaeus, it is explained
that the two bands that form
the soul of the world cross
each other like the letter
Χ. Chi or X is often used to
abbreviate the name Christ,
as in the holiday Christmas
(Xmas). When fused within a
single typespace with the
Greek letter Rho, it is
called the labarum and used
to represent the person of
Jesus Christ. (Wikipedia)
... tau
is the 19th letter of the
Greek alphabet. In the
system of Greek numerals it
has a value of 300 ...
Taw is believed to be
derived from the Egyptian
hieroglyph meaning 'mark'
...
Taw,
Tav or Taf is
the twenty-second and last
letter in many Semitic
abjads ... In gematria
Tav represents the
number 400, the largest
single number that can be
represented without using
the Sophit forms ...
'From
Aleph to Taf'
describes something from
beginning to end; the Hebrew
equivalent of the English
'From A to Z' ...
Tav is
the last letter of the
Hebrew word emet,
which means truth. The
midrash explains that
emet is made up of the
first, middle, and last
letters of the Hebrew
alphabet (Aleph,
Mem, and Tav...).
Sheqer (falsehood),
on the other hand, is made
up of the 19th, 20th, and
21st (and penultimate)
letters.
Thus, truth
is all-encompassing, while
falsehood is narrow and
deceiving. In Jewish
mythology it was the word
emet that was carved
into the head of the
Golem which ultimately
gave it life. But when the
letter 'aleph' was erased
from the Golem's
forehead, what was left was
'met' - dead. And so
the Golem died ...

The adze
is shown in ancient
Egypt from the Old
Kingdom onward.
Originally the adze
blades were made of
stone, but already in
the Predynastic Period
copper adzes had all but
replaced those made of
flint. While stone
blades were fastened to
the wooden handle by
tying, metal blades had
sockets into which the
handle was fitted ... A
depiction of an adze was
also used as a
hieroglyph, representing
the consonants stp,
'chosen', and used as:
...Pharaoh XX, chosen of
God/Goddess YY...
The
ahnetjer (Manuel de
Codage transliteration:
aH-nTr) depicted
as an adze-like
instrument, was used in
the Opening of the Mouth
ceremony, intended to
convey power over their
senses to statues and
mummies. It was
apparently the foreleg
of a freshly sacrificed
bull or cow with which
the mouth was touched
... The ritual involved
the symbolic animation
of a statue or mummy by
magically opening its
mouth so that it could
breathe and speak. There
is evidence of this
ritual from the Old
Kingdom to the Roman
Period. Special tools
were used to perform the
ceremony, such as a
ritual adze, an arm
shaped ritual censer, a
spooned blade known as a
peseshkaf, a
serpent-head blade, and
a variety of other
amulets. A calf's leg
was also held up to the
lips painted on the
coffin.
The
ancient Egyptians
believed that in order
for a person's soul to
survive in the afterlife
it would need to have
food and water. A
special ritual called
the 'Opening of the
Mouth' was performed so
that the person who died
could eat and drink
again in the afterlife. |

The tau letter (τ)
- as for instance in τ Aquilae -
could have meant temporary
death:
... The manner of his death can
be reconstructed from a variety
of legends, folk-customs and
other religious survivals. At
mid-summer, at the end of a
half-year reign, Hercules is
made drunk with mead and led
into the middle of a circle of
twelve stones arranged around an
oak, in front of which stands an
altar-stone; the oak has been
lopped until it is T-shaped. He
is bound to it with willow
thongs in the 'five-fold bond'
which joins wrists, neck, and
ankles together, beaten by his
comrades till he faints, then
flayed, blinded, castrated,
impaled with a mistletoe stake,
and finally hacked into joints
on the altar-stone. His blood is
caught in a basin and used for
sprinkling the whole tribe to
make them vigorous and fruitful.
The joints are roasted at twin
fires of oak-loppings, kindled
with sacred fire preserved from
a lightning-blasted oak or made
by twirling an alder- or
cornel-wood fire-drill in an oak
log.
The trunk is then uprooted and
split into faggots which are
added to the flames. The twelve
merry-men rush in a wild
figure-of-eight dance around the
fires, singing ecstatically and
tearing at the flesh with their
teeth. The bloody remains are
burnt in the fire, all except
the genitals and the head. These
are put into an alder-wood boat
and floated down the river to an
islet; though the head is
sometimes cured with smoke and
preserved for oracular use. His
tanist succeeds him and reigns
for the remainder of the year,
when he is sacrificially killed
by a new Hercules.
The rho letter (ρ) may have been
chosen for the midnight
culmination of Antares (cfr at ρ
Gemini), where he was turned
into a 'ghost':

The Malay word
for 'year' is
taun or
tahun. In
all Polynesian
dialects the
primary sense is
'a season', 'a
period of time'.
In the Samoan
group tau
or tausanga,
besides the
primary sense of
season, has the
definite meaning
of 'a period of
six months', and
conventionally
that of 'a
year', as on the
island of Tonga.
Here the word
has the further
sense of 'the
produce of the
year', and
derivatively 'a
year'. In the
Society group it
simply means
'season'. In the
Hawaiian group,
when not applied
to the summer
season, the word
keeps its
original sense
of 'an
indefinite
period of time',
'a life-time, an
age', and is
never applied to
the year: its
duration may be
more or less
than a year,
according to
circumstances.
So far our
authority
(Fornander, I,
124; cp. 119).
It seems however
to be
questionable
whether the
original sense
is not the
concrete
'produce of the
seasons', rather
than the
abstract 'period
of time'. It is
significant that
on the Society
Islands the
bread-fruit
season is called
te tau,
and the names of
the other two
seasons, te
tau miti rahi
and te tau
poai, are
formed by adding
to this name.
