Shir is ρ Leonis.

Probably kua ka te ahi means 'who lights the fire' (possibly referring to the pair at the beginning of the period).

Ka. Particle of the affirmative imperative, of cardinal numerals, of independent ordinal numerals, and of emphatic exclamation, e.g. ka-maitaki! how nice! Vanaga.

Ká. 1. To light a fire in order to cook in the earth oven (see umu): he-ká i te umu, he-ká i te kai. 2. Figuratively: to fire up the soul. To put oneself in a fury (with manava): ku-ká-á toona manava he has become furious. Vanaga.

1. Of T. 2. Imperative sign; ka oho, ka tere, ka ea, begone!; ka ko iha, a greeting T; ka mou, hush; ka oho, goodbye. 3. Infinitive sign; mea meitaki ka rava, a thing good to take; ka harai kia mea, to accompany. 4. A prefix which forms ordinals from cardinals. 5. The dawning of the day. 6. Different (? ke). Churchill.

Ahi

Fire; he-tutu i te ahi to light a fire. Ahiahi = evening; ahiahi-ata, the last moments of light before nightfall. Vanaga.

1. Candle, stove, fire (vahi); ahi hakapura, match; ahi hakagaiei, firebrand waved as a night signal. P Mgv.: ahi, fire, flame. Mq.: ahi, fire, match, percussion cap.

We should maybe think of the date February 28, the last day before the spring equinox month. 228 (= 12 * 19).

The following i te rima aueue is more difficult. I guess we should translate i te rima with 'in the hand', not only because Sun north of the equator was descending in the west (received by Chikin), but primarily because the Corvus constellation was the 13th Hindu station Hasta which was symbolized by a 'hand or fist' (and only the main 5 of the 7 Greek lettered stars in Corvus are mentioned):

1	Ashvini	β and γ Arietis	Horse's head
2	Bharani	35, 39, and 41 Arietis	Yoni, the female organ of reproduction
3	Krittikā	M 45 Tauri	Knife or spear
4	Rohini	α Tauri	Cart or chariot, temple, banyan tree
5	Mrigashīrsha	λ, φ¹, and φ² Orionis	Deer's head
6	Ardra	α Orionis	Teardrop, diamond, a human head
7	Punarvasu	α and β Gemini	Bow and quiver
8	Pushya	γ, δ and θ Cancri	Cow's udder, lotus, arrow and circle
9	Āshleshā	δ, ε, η, ρ, and σ Hydrae	Serpent
10	Maghā	α Leonis	Royal Throne
11	Purva Phalguni	δ and θ Leonis	Front legs of bed, hammock, fig tree
12	Uttara Phalguni	β Leonis	Four legs of bed, hammock
13	Hasta	α, β, γ, δ, ε Corvi	Hand or fist

As to aueue it could mean the opposite of aue (because ue is doubled):

Aue

Ah, alas. Aueue, oh. P Pau., Ta.: aue, alas. Mgv.: aue, auhe, alas. Mq.: aue, oh, alas; auhe, a sigh. Exclamation in general representing the most primordial type of speech, it seems that this may be reduced to recognizable elements. The e is throughout these languages a vocative or hailing sign, commonly postpositive in relation to the person hailed. In the examination of au we have shown that the primal first person singular designation is u. With the comparatively scanty material afforded by this vocabulary we may not attempt ot define the use of a but we have no hesitation in noting that proof based on wider studies will show it to have, inter alia, a characteristic function as a word-maker. In a very high degree, then, a-u-e is represented by a common English interjection 'oh my!' in which oh = a, my = u, and e = !. Churchill.

What is this cry which our primitive islanders share with the animals? Look at its elements, all full-throated. First we have a, the sound of mouth open, fauces open, lungs full of air. As air expires the sound recedes in the mouth towards the palate and we find the u. Last comes the conscious finish of the utterance, the muscles begin to retract, the sound-making point is forced forward and the sound is e. If the man had but a few more cubic centimeters of lung capacity he could attain cow volumne for his cry, or interjection, since it amounts to the same thing. Churchill 2.

Uéué, to move about, to flutter; he-uéué te kahu i te tokerau, the clothes flutter in the wind; poki oho ta'e uéué, obedient child. Vanaga.

1. Alas. Mq.: ue, to groan. 2. To beg (ui). Ueue: 1. To shake (eueue); kirikiri ueue, stone for sling. PS Pau.: ueue, to shake the head. Mq.: kaueue, to shake. Ta.: ue, id. Sa.: lue, to shake, To.: ue'í, to shake, to move; luelue, to move, to roll as a vessel in a calm. Niuē: luelue, to quake, to shake. Uvea: uei, to shake; ueue, to move. Viti: ue, to move in a confused or tumultous manner. 2. To lace. Churchill.

Metoro may have known the cry of the women when Moon was returning:

"When the new moon appeared women assembled and bewailed those who had died since the last one, uttering the following lament: 'Alas! O moon! Thou has returned to life, but our departed beloved ones have not. Thou has bathed in the waiora a Tane, and had thy life renewed, but there is no fount to restore life to our departed ones. Alas ... " (Makemson, The Morning Star Rises.)

The central element between Sun (left) and Moon (te ika at right) is my glyph type rima aueue and it could depict the transfer of the fluid of life (vai ora, aqua vitae) from Tane to Moon. At the time of the dark new moon Sun was at the back of Moon.


rima aueue	Ca6-21

There is a string from rima aueue (in Ca6-21) to the rising fish. But Metoro made a pause between Sun and rima aueue.

At Ca6-21 the day number in August is 29, which could indicate the dark new moon phase. At the other end of the sky February has no day 29 (unless it is a leap year). But number 59 means the end of a pair of months counted as 29½ nights.
