niu - kupega hia mai |
tu te niu - ku huki |
A pair of niu
glyphs are located here, at the end
of the glyph line. They are
quite alike (like twins) but in
front the signs are quite different.
The first niu has an integral
'hook' (flat at bottom) with 5 rising feathers
in front, while the 2nd
has a marama in front,
looking like the first appearance of
Moon after her dark phase.
There is a month
from tagata huki in April 11
to ku huki in May 11:

The half-seen
crescent form in Ca1-21 is oriented
in the opposite direction compared
to huki in Ca2-25, and its
thickness indicates it could refer to
Sun rather than to Moon.
Niu is the
coconut tree, and there is a point (tara)
at front bottom of niu in
Ca2-25:

Niu
Palm
tree, coconut tree;
hua niu, coconut.
Vanaga.
Coconut, palm, spinning
top. P Pau., Ta.:
niu,
coconut. Mgv.:
niu, a
top;
niu mea,
coconut. Mq.:

coconut, a top.
Churchill.
The

T. 1.
Coconut palm. 2. Sign
for peace. Henry
The
sense of top lies in the
fact that the bud end of
a coconut shell is used
for spinning, both in
the sport of children
and as a means of
applying to island life
the practical side of
the doctrine of chances.
Thus it may be that in
New Zealand, in
latitudes higher than
are grateful to the
coconut, the divination
sense has persisted even
to different implements
whereby the arbitrament
of fate may be declared.
