Sun
reached Polaris in April 17 when
Benetnash (η Ursae Majoris) -
another star far up in the north -
was close to the full moon:

Benetnash (208.5) |
Polaris
(26.6) |
When Benetnash was above (i nika) then
Polaris was below (i raro).
Nika
'Savage tribes knew the Pleiades
familiarly, as well as did the people of ancient and
modern civilization; and Ellis wrote of the natives of
the Society and Tonga Islands, who called these stars
Matarii, the Little Eyes: The two seasons of the
year were divided by the Pleiades; the first, Matarii
i nia, the Pleiades Above, commenced when, in the
evening, those stars appeared on the horizon, and
continued while, after sunset, they were above. The
other season, Matarii i raro, the Pleiades Below,
began when, at sunset, they ceased to be visible, and
continued till, in the evening, they appeared again
above the horizon.
Gill gives a similar
story from the Hervey group, where the Little Eyes are
Matariki, and at one time but a single star, so
bright that their god Tane in envy got hold of
Aumea, our Aldebaran, and, accompanied by Mere,
our Sirius, chased the offender, who took refuge in a
stream. Mere,
however, drained off the water, and Tane hurled
Aumea at the fugitive, breaking him into the six
pieces that we now see, whence the native name for the
fragments, Tauono, the Six, quoted by Flammarion
as Tau, both titles singularly like the Latin
Taurus. They were the favorite one of the various
avelas, or guides at sea in night voyages from one
island to another; and, as opening the year, objects of
worship down to 1857, when Christianity prevailed
throughout these islands.' (Allen) |
Raro
Bottom, bottom end, lower part; when used
as a locative adverb, it is preceded by a preposition:
a raro, down (lit.: along down); ki raro.
downwards; mai raro, upwards (lit.: from down);
o raro, lower (lit.: of down). When used with a
noun the same preposition is repeated: ki ea-mai mai
raro mai te rano, when coming up from the bottom of
the crater. Vanaga |
Metoro said heke twice more when reading

March 31 is here day 91 because this is a leap year.
From March 24 to April 17 there are 107 - 83 = 24 days. From
Cb14-13 to Ca2-1 there are 740 + 27 - 734 = 33 glyphs. From
Ca14-11 to Cb14-13 there are 360 glyphs.

An octopus can hide in his ink (kahukahu
o heke). I guess this is why
heke
occurs with the mauga type of glyph - celestial
persons will ultimately hide behind 'the mountain' (mauga)
in the west.

Mauga also means 'last' and glyph
Ca2-1 is like Benetnash (at the tip of the Great Bear's tail) a sign of
the last part. Polaris is the last Tahitain star pillar:
