A pair of similar glyphs may
sometimes have been used to put attention to
the position in the middle between them,
e.g. where the central ceremonial ground (raaraa)
was pointed out, i.e. where Mirach and Revati rose
with the Sun and Regulus culminated at
midnight:
 |
 |
|
raaraa |
*Ca14-19 |
... The chief thus makes his appearance at
Lakeba from the sea, as a stranger to
the land. Disembarking at the capital
village of Tubou, he is led first to
the chiefly house (vale levu) and
next day to the central ceremonial ground (raaraa)
of the island ...
In the center between the
pair of hau tea without mata
was day 180:

Alrisha (the Knot,
α Piscium) culminated
in December 7 and at the opposite side of the year
it was Arcturus which culminated
The Grape-gatherer
(Vindemiatrix, ε Virginis) culminated 17 days
earlier than Arcturus:
Virgo has her right hand upstretched
'to pick grapes', to Vindemiatrix, and her left hand
down to Spica, as if planting seeds in a Furrow.
A grape is a fruit (hua) and a child (tamaiti)
is also a fruit.
We can guess the culmination of
Vindemiatrix was probably in the mind of the creator
of the G text when he decided to put a tamaiti
at day 181.
