Gregorian
372 is
8 days
beyond
December
30 and
the
glyph
number
11-8
suggests
the 8th
day in
the
month
after
Decem-ber.
It is
not
January
8
because
in the
Gregorian
calendar
also day
365 is
counted.

There is
precisely a week
from Ain

to
Alrami.

Here Metoro said
te mauga hiku
hia.
Hiku Tail; caudal fin. Hikukio'e, 'rat's tail': a plant (Cyperus vegetus). Vanaga.
... In the deep night before the image [of Lono] is first seen, there is a Makahiki ceremony called 'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino tells of sacred chiefs being carried to the water where the people in their finery are bathing; in the excitement created by the beauty of their attire, 'one person was attracted to another, and the result', says this convert to Catholicism, 'was by no means good' ... (Islands of History) |
Perhaps
Nunki
(another
name
for
Eridu)
at
the
end
of
the
'River',
where
the
'Sea'
was
beginning,
made
Metoro
think
of
'splashing-water'.

(in

Rakau Raau, medicine, remedy, drug. Ra'a'u, scratch on the skin. Rakau, a plant. Râkau, goods, property. Vanaga.
1. Wood; rakau ta, cudgel, stick. P Pau.: rakau, tree, to dress a wound. Mgv.: rakau, wood, timber, a tree; medicine, a remedy; an object. Mq.: ákau, wood, tree. Ta.: raáu, id. 2. Medicine, remedy, potion, ointment, furniture, any precious object, resources, baggage, riches, heritage, dowry, merchandise, treasure, wealth; rakau hakaneinei, purgative; rakau nui, rich, opulent; rakau kore, poor, beggar, indigent, miserable, an inferior; hakakamikami ki te rakau, to impoverish; rakau o te miro, ballast. Mq.: akau, anything in general. The medicine sense is particularized in Tonga, Nukuoro, Hawaii, Tahiti, Mangareva, Paumotu. In no other speech does wood stand so fully for wealth of possessions, but it will be recalled that Rapanui is destitute of timber and depends wholly upon driftwood. Churchill. |
