The 2nd of the place names given by Makoi was Hanga o Uo:

*38)*
1	*ko apina iti.ko rapa kura.he oho mai he*
2	*tuu ki hanga o uo.he nape i te ingoa.ko hanga o uo*
	*a vave renga.*

11	*roro hau a mana ai rea.*
12	*vai poko aa raa mata turu*
13	*ko te hereke a kino ariki*

I tried to upgrade this information in a table:

1	*Apina Iti*	4	*Okahu*
2	*Hanga O Uo*	5	*Ra Tahai*
3	*Hanga Roa*	6	*Ahu Akapu*
		7	*Kihikihi Rau Mea*
		8	*Renga A Tini*
		9	*Vai A Mei*
		10	*Rua A Ngau*
		11	*Roro Hau*
		12	*Vai Poko*
		13	*Te Hereke*

Barthel says the correct name of the bay a short distance north of Apina Iti was Hanga O Ua.

This bay is not on the map of Métraux, but it ought to be between Apina-iti and Hanga-Roa, perhaps in the vicinity of the Church. Christian Churches usually were erected where other old beliefs were deeply rooted.

In time this place should come after Vero I thought. Could Hanga o Uo correspond to the 11th Marquesan month Uaoa?

Rua

1. Two; second; other (precedes the noun); te rua paiga, the other side. 2. Hole, grave; holes in the rocks or between the rocks of the coastal lagoons; he keri i te rua, to dig a hole. 3. To vomit. Vanaga.

1. Two. P Mgv., Ta.: rua, id. Mq.: úa. 2. Nausea, seasickness, to vomit, disgust; hakarua, to vomit, to spew. PS Mgv.: aruai, ruai, to vomit. Mq.: úa, id. Ta.: ruai, id. Pau.: ruaki, id.

Ta.: ruahine, an old woman. Ma.: ruahine, id. Ta.: ruaroa, tropic of Capricorn. Mq.: uaoa, a constellation, the eleventh month. The sense in Tahiti is probably that of some constellation which may be used to determine the position. Ta.: ruau, an old man, an old woman. Ha.: luau, a parent. Churchill.

I guessed Uaoa possibly could mean Ua Roa ('great rain' ?). The Marquesan dialect tends to manage without 'r', as for instance in Veo. But then Marquesan Uaoa could perhaps rather be Rua Roa, which Churchill evidently also had realized. And then we could alternatively see Uaoa as the tropic of Capricorn.

Maybe we should read the 3 first Makoi names as a unity. Triangulum Minus (Apina Iti) followed by Hanga o Ou a Vave Renga and Hanga Roa.

The change from Ua to Uo which Barthel suggests, could be a way to hide the correct meaning from ignorants and those of the Christian faith.

The double-headed ua is variously described as a ceremonial staff occasionally employed as a fighting weapon, or as a long double-handled club normally carried as a badge of rank. Either interpretation is probably correct. A number of authentic pieces have been preserved and many more have been carved in post-missionary times primarily, however, from imported wood.

Whereas the slightly oval neck section of the staff is almost circular, its shorter diameter decreases and its longer increases towards the lower end, giving the staff a spatular shape. Sometimes, however, according to the suitability of the wood, the staff has a uniform cross section all the way down and the representation is bilaterally symmetrical. Eyes are inlaid as on the wooden images with bone rings enclosing obsidian disks. Strongly projecting pouches hang down below the eyes on each side of a long, straight and slim nose with naturalistic alae. The flat, elliptical mouth is carved with raised lips surrounding a horizontal groove. Teeth are not indicated. Long, narrow ears with earplugs are carved as bands along the edges. The forehead slants forward to project beyond the eyes. Eyebrows are lacking, but the wide and tall forehead is traversed horizontally by a dense series of grooves arching from one side to the other. There is no chin or beard, as the narrow lower face continues uninterruptedly into the staff. Specimens vary considerably in length, recent pieces sometimes approaching 6 ft. (nearly 2 m.), whereas ancient specimens are rarely more than some 40 ins. (ca. 1,20 m.) and sometimes slightly curved due to the imperfections of the toromiro available. Knots or other holes in the wood are often filled with perfectly fitted plugs. Ua were in some instances preserved in sheaths made from totora reed. (Heyerdahl 3)
