In the middle of a week (German Mitt-woch) should be a
viri, because Wednes-day means the day of turning
around - winding up the thread of time into a clew or claw
(easily associated with the 'claws' - Al Zubānā,
α and β Librae -
because once upon a time they illustrated the middle between the
solstices, the time of equilibrium between night
and day, the time when the Sun had reached the equator
in the middle of the year):

Viti:
vili, to pick up fallen
fruit or leaves ... In Viti
virimbai has the
meaning of putting up a
fence (mbai fence);
viri does not appear
independently in this use,
but it is undoubtedly
homogenetic with Samoan
vili, which has a basic
meaning of going around;
virikoro then signifies
the
ring-fence-that-goes-about,
sc. the moon. In the Maori,
aokoro is the
cloud-fence ... Churchill 2. |
-
... Like [in] a
triangular sail,
the 'free'
corners of a
square sail are
called clews;
again there are
two of them.
Square sails
have sheets
attached to
their clews like
triangular
sails, but the
sheets are used
to pull the sail
down to the yard
below rather
than to adjust
the angle it
makes with the
wind ... In
sailing, a
sheet is a
line (rope,
cable or chain)
used to control
the moveable
corner(s) of a
sail ...

Now it can be added
that Tau-ono (6
'stones) close to the Full Moon
should indicate the final of the old
year. However, at the time of the
Hyades Gate there were still some
days remaining to 0h. Furthermore
the final could alternatively have come already at

Rana (Latin for frog),
δ Eridani, rose with
the Sun in the same day as the first 6 of the Pleiades stars and
the name should remind us
of Fomalhaut (the Mouth of the Fish) and of Deneb Kaitos
(the Tail of the Sea Beast):
... As to the strange
appellation 'barker' I have earlier
suggested it could have been a
word play involving 'frog', which is
reasonable because amphibians dwell
half in water and half on land - i.e.
where it was all beginning, at the
first (al awwal) place, at the
place of birth (hanau), at the
first position beyond the ancient
Babylonian 20
ecliptic constellations:
... At the
star Deneb Kaitos Allen has written:
... Very
differently it was the Arabs' Al Difdi' al Thānī,
the Second Frog, that we see in the present Difda,
Latinized as Rana Secunda; the star Fomalhaut
being Al Difdi' al Awwal, the First Frog.
And at
Fomalhaut:
Among early
Arabs Fomalhaut was Al Difdi' al Awwal, the First
Frog, and in its location on the Borgian globe is the
word Thalīm, the Ostrich, evidently another
individual title ...
There may have
been 3 'frogs', the 1st (al
Awwal) at Fomalhaut, the 2nd
(al
Thānī) at vero
in Ga5-17, and the 3rd at Tau-ono - all of them
to be observed in the night and close to the Full Moon
as we have seen:

... A frog is
capable of going both in water and on land. At
the beginning it has no arms and no legs but
later they will develop. Before this has
occurred it cannot move up onto land.
In ancient
Egypt the frog was used as a symbol for rebirth
and the tadpole signified 100,000:
I have copied
this picture from Richard H. Wilkinson's
Hieroglyfernas värld ('Reading Egyptian
Art'). It comes from the back side of the
ceremonial chair of Tutanchamon. The sitting
person in center is the God of Eternity and he
is sitting on a sign for gold (or for feast).
At the ends of
his outstretched arms are stylized palm branches
with scores to represent the years. At the
bottom of each such palm branch is a tadpole
sitting on a sign representing eternity. At the
beginning of eternity there are tadpoles and a
human embryo 6 weeks old does look much like a
tadpole ...
