It is necessary to here begin anew, after having flexed our knees lightly and washed our brains from some old preconceptions, while walking forward from day zero to the end of line Ga3, a footpath measuring 12 weeks:

Hiki

To flex the knees lightly, as used to do the youths of both sexes when, after having stayed inside for a long period to get a fair complexion, they showed themselves off in dances called te hikiga haúga, parading on a footpath of smooth stones, with their faces painted, lightly flexing their knees with each step. Vanaga.
