The figures at left in Ca1-3 and Ca1-4 have hanging 'fruits' (offspring) in front. Henua ora is open at the top and hau tea open at bottom - earth respectively sky:

The central vertical straight lines in henua ora and hau tea is their common denominator:
... In the beginning were Rangi and Papa, Sky and Earth. Darkness existed. Rangi adhered over Papa his wife. Man was not. A person arose, a spirit who had no origin; his name was Rangitokona, the Heaven-propper. He went to Rangi and Papa, bid them go apart, but they would not. Therefore Rangitokona separated Rangi and Papa, he thrust the sky above. He thrust him with his pillars ten in number end to end; they reached up to the Fixed-place-of-the-Heavens. After this separation Rangi lamented for his wife: and his tears are the dew and the rain which ever fall on her.
The Moriori Sky-propper built up a single pillar by placing ten posts one on top of the other.
When in the times of Al Sharatain the leading star of the Phoenix (Ankaa) rose with the Sun there were rain clouds between sky and earth.
These, I think, were illustrated in Ca1-5.

Liddell and Scott (Gr.-Engl. Dict., s. v.) say: 'The root of έτ-ερος is said to be the same as Sanskr. ant-aras, Goth. auth-ar, Germ. and-er, Lat. alt-er, aut, French aut-rui, our eith-er, oth-er, itara = alius, also in Sanskrit.'
Whatever the root of ant-aras, auth-ar, alter, it seems to me that έκας shows nearer kindred to the Polynesian e, ke, ee, ese, eze, than to forms so developed as ant-ar, ant-ara, &c. (Fornander) |
Antares could mean the 'other' star, cfr the Sanskrit antaras (Polynesian ke), the star at the 'opposite' (side of Aries).
