Tohi is to not only to cut (as on Mangareva), but on Hawaii it also means to 'break off neatly'. The creators of Manuscript E could have adopted the Hawaiian idea but changed kohi to ko(h)e in order to extend the meaning of the Hatinga Te Koe station:

Hati

To strike, to break, to peel off bark; slip, cutting, breaking, flow, wave (aati, ati, hahati); tai hati, breakers, surf; tumu hatihati, weak in the legs; hakahati, to persuade; hatipu, slate.

They may have changed Omo-tohi to Hatinga Te Koe in order to allude to how inside a bamboo there could be a wonderful Moon princess, having learned such stories lately.

North of the equator could be the dark top part of the glyph and the bottom represent the southern hemisphere, where this form of crescent illustrates a waning moon (like the sign for 'night' reversed). The bottom part has a single 'outgrowth' at left (in the past) - like a chiton clinging to the rock. The top part has a pair, possibly to illustrate the male bivalve ('sky').

The translation by Barthel has a question mark:

.he oho hokoou te kuhane he ata pe hiva he hati te kohi i te vae he nape i te ingoa ko hatinga te kohe.a hau maka. o hiva.

The dream soul went on. She was careless (?) and broke the kohe plant with her feet. She named the place 'Hatinga Te Kohe A Hau Maka O Hiva'.

He translated he ata pe hiva as 'careless (?)' - the opposite of Hawaiian kohi. But I think pe hiva is a wordplay on 'number 9' (= beyond the 'best before' date) and that the basic idea (both in the C text and in he ata pe hiva he hati te kohi i te vae) is to tell about how the 'land emerging' at 'day-break' (spring equinox) is rotten (pe):

1. Like, as. PS Mgv.: pe, as, the same as, also. Sa.: pei, like, as. Niuē: pehe, thus. 2. And, also (in numerals); e rua te hagahuru pe aha, twenty-four. PS Sa.: pe, a restrictive particle in counting, only. To.: be, only. Uvea: pe, id. Churchill.

Pau.: Spoilt, damaged. Mgv.: pee, macerated, spoilt. Ta.: pe, spoilt, rotten. Mq.: pe, id. Sa.: pe, id. Ma.: pe, pulpy, purulent. Churchill.

PE, adj. Marqu., bad, impudent, naked. Ta., pe, rotten, decayed. Sam., pe, be dead, as trees, extinguished, as fire, dried up, as water. Haw., pe, to crush, pound fine; pepe, broken, bruised, pliable, rotten, soft; u-pepe, weak, feeble, dry. Fiji., be, impudent, irreverent.

Benfey (Sanskr. Dict.) refers the Latin pejor, pessimus, pecco, to a Sanskrit word, pâpa, evil, wicked, sinful. The Polynesian pe apparently offers a better and more direct root for pejor, pecco, &c.

Benfey gives no root or etymon of pâpa, nor, if derived from pâ, to protect, to guard, how the transition is made to wickedness, crime, sin. Here as in so many instances, the Polynesian supplies the missing-link in the Hawaiian verb papa, 'to prohibit, forbid, rebuke, reprove', a derivative or duplicate of pa, 'to fence, enclose, restrict'. And thus the transition from the Polynesian papa, prohibited, forbidden, to the Sanskrit pâpa, sinful, wicked, becomes easy and intelligible. (Fornander)

Hiva

H.: 1. Entirely black, as of pigs offered to the gods, a desirable blackness contrasting with uli and 'ele'ele, which have pejorative connotations. 2. Choice. 3. A term qualifying coconuts and kava. Polo hiwa, dark, glistening black, as clouds or tapa. Ua hala i ke ao polohiwa a Kāne, passed to the dark clouds of Kāne (death). Hiwa hiwa, precious, beloved, esteemed, petted, darling, indulged; favorite. Ka Mesia, ka hiwahiwa a ke Akua, the Messiah, the chosen of God. Ho'o hiwa hiwa to honor, adorn, decorate; to display, as the flag; to treat as a favorite; festive. He mea ho'ohiwahiwa i ke akua, a thing to honor the gods.
