At the
'π glyph' Metoro
said ku
hakaraoa,
and hakaraoa we recognize from
earlier:
| Almuqaddam 4 |
5 (329) |
| April 9 (464) |
10 (100) |
 |
 |
| Ca1-19 |
Ca1-20 |
| te maitaki - te kihikihi |
hakaraoa - te henua |
As I
remember
it
hakaraoa
was to
choke on
a
fishbone
(remarkable
enough
to
be remembered
forever).
In
contrast
to the
good
breadfruit
time
(Ca1-19)
we can
perhaps imagine
winter
in
Ca1-20,
with its
dry
'straws'
like
fishbones.
Te
kihikihi
in
Ca1-19
is a
word
wich
returns
in what
I have
assigned
as the
Orongo
night,
where it
evidently denotes
the
hanging
maro
feathers

Possibly
te

could be a
season
which
ended
with
April 16
(471).
| Kihi Kihikihi, lichen; also: grey, greenish grey, ashen. Vanaga.
Kihikihi, lichen T, stone T. Churchill.
The Hawaiian day was divided in three general parts, like that of the early Greeks and Latins, - morning, noon, and afternoon - Kakahi-aka, breaking the shadows, scil. of night; Awakea, for Ao-akea, the plain full day; and Auina-la, the decline of the day. The lapse of the night, however, was noted by five stations, if I may say so, and four intervals of time, viz.: (1.) Kihi, at 6 P.M., or about sunset; (2.) Pili, between sunset and midnight; (3) Kau, indicating midnight; (4.) Pilipuka, between midnight and surise, or about 3 A.M.; (5.) Kihipuka, corresponding to sunrise, or about 6 A.M. ...

Kua
moe
(Ca9-5)
are
no
new
words
for
us,
but
the
beak
of
the
bird
is
strangely turned
up
in a
curve, which
constitutes
a
strong
Sign.
On
the
other
side
of
Nusakan
another
bird
is
fully
awake and
possibly
it
means
'dawn'
arrives
with
π
(November
10).
But
the
beak
is
still closed.
The
upturned
curve
in
front
has
no
beak
but
an
arm
enclosing
a
hole.
Maybe
e
rima
no
ona
could
mean
'this
is
her
front arm'.
But
these
words
could
also
refer
to
the
pair
of
arms
together
forming
a
curve
like
S in
reverse.
