The
complicated
Gb7-30
could
then
depict
how
the revival
was
possible,
viz.
by
assembling
and
sticking
together
the
remains
from
the
preceding
generation:
...
The
old
man
gave
the
Raven
two
small
sticks,
like
gambling
sticks,
one
black,
one
multicoloured.
He
gave
him
instructions
to
bite
them
apart
in a
certain
way
and
told
him
to
spit
the
pieces
at
one
another
on
the
surface
of
the
sea.
The
Raven
climbed
back
up
the
pole,
where
he
promptly
did
things
backwards,
just
to
see
if
something
interesting
would
occur,
and
the
pieces
bounced
apart.
It
may
well
be
some
bits
were
lost.
But
when
he
gathered
what
he
could
and
tried
again
-
and
this
time
followed
the
instructions
he
had
been
given
-
the
pieces
stuck
and
rumpled
and
grew
to
become
the
mainland
and
Haida
Gwaii
...
...
together
they
found
all
of
Osiris
save
his
genital
member,
which
had
been
swallowed
by a
fish.
They
tightly
swathed
the
broken
body
in
linen
bandages,
and
when
they
performed
over
it
the
rites
that
thereafter
were
to
be
continued
in
Egypt
in
the
ceremonial
burial
of
kings,
Isis
fanned
the
corpse
with
her
wings
and
Osiris
revived
...
The complementary situation had occurred half a year earlier, when the Sun had passed Thuban (α Draconis) - the ancient Pole star - in day 229 (AUGUST 17).

Raven climbed up the Pole before experimenting with his daytime (multicoloured) and nighttime (black) sticks. It was dawn and in the morning of the world there was nothing but water, which could explain the extended undulating legs of birth (hanau) in Gb7-28.
After Thuban, on the other hand, there was a pair (2) sitting back-to-back in Janus fashion. The peculiar extensions at their neckls (possibly shoulder blades, tua ivi) could have alluded to the 2nd Chinese station Neck.
Metoro may have stated that heliacal Sheratan was 'a point of conception':
| Tupu 1. Shoot, sprout, bud; to sprout, to bud. 2. Pregnant: vî'e tupu (o te poki); to be conceived (of fetus in its mother's womb): he-tupu te poki i roto i te kopú o toona matu'a. Vanaga.
To grow, to sprout, to germinate, to come forth, to conceive, pregnant, germ; mea tupu, plant; tupu ke avai, of rapid growth; tupu horahorau, precocious; hakatupu, to produce, to stimulate growth, to excite. P Pau.: fakatupu, to raise up, to create. Mgv.: tupu, to grow, to conceive, to be pregnant. Mq.: tupu, to grow, to sprout, to conceive. Ta.: tupu, to grow, to sprout. Churchill.
Mgv.: Tupu, the best or worst, used of men or of bad qualities. Sa.: tupu, king. Ma.: tupu, social position, dignity. Churchill. |
... An important part of the Egyptian soul was thought to be the Ib (jb), or heart. The Ib or metaphysical heart was believed to be formed from one drop of blood from the child's mother's heart, taken at conception.
183 days later was in October 17 (290), at heliacal Muphrid (η at the left leg of the Herdsman):
"Landseer, following La Lande, said that the Herdsman was the national sign of ancient Egypt, the myth of the dismemberment of Osiris originating in the successive settings of its stars; and that there it was called Osiris, Bacchus, or Sabazius, the ancient name for Bacchus and Noah; and that Kircher's planisphere showed a Vine instead of the customary figure, thus recalling incidents in the histories of these worthies, as well as of Icarius." (Allen).
"Icarus, or Icarius, also was a title for our constellation, from the unfortunate Athenian who brought so much trouble into the world by his practical expounding of Bacchus' ideas as to the proper use of the grape, and who was so unworthily exalted to the sky, with his daughter Erigone as Virgo, and their faithful hound Maera as Procyon or Sirius." (Allen)
| Koti Kotikoti. To cut with scissors (since this is an old word and scissors do not seem to have existed, it must mean something of the kind). Vanaga.
Kotikoti. To tear; kokoti, to cut, to chop, to hew, to cleave, to assassinate, to amputate, to scar, to notch, to carve, to use a knife, to cut off, to lop, to gash, to mow, to saw; kokotiga kore, indivisible; kokotihaga, cutting, gash furrow. P Pau.: koti, to chop. Mgv.: kotikoti, to cut, to cut into bands or slices; kokoti, to cut, to saw; akakotikoti, a ray, a streak, a stripe, to make bars. Mq.: koti, oti, to cut, to divide.

When Raven at first
'promptly did things backwards' it could have alluded to the reversed order of the triplet of Asellus stars (at the left hand of the Herdsman). But there was probably more to it, because the first Bootes star with a Greek letter was τ (tau), arriving 185 days after τ Andromedae:
| Tau Year (ta'u), he-hoa ite ta'u, to confess to a crime committed long ago, by publishing it in the form of a kohau motu mo rogorogo (rongorongo tablet). Vanaga.

Pretty, lovely; ka-tau! how pretty! Vanaga.

The Malay word for 'year' is taun or tahun. In all Polynesian dialects the primary sense is 'a season', 'a period of time'. In the Samoan group tau or tausanga, besides the primary sense of season, has the definite meaning of 'a period of six months', and conventionally that of 'a year', as on the island of Tonga. Here the word has the further sense of 'the produce of the year', and derivatively 'a year'. In the Society group it simply means 'season'. In the Hawaiian group, when not applied to the summer season, the word keeps its original sense of 'an indefinite period of time', 'a life-time, an age', and is never applied to the year: its duration may be more or less than a year, according to circumstances. So far our authority (Fornander, I, 124; cp. 119). It seems however to be questionable whether the original sense is not the concrete 'produce of the seasons', rather than the abstract 'period of time'. It is significant that on the Society Islands the bread-fruit season is called te tau, and the |

... 'From Aleph to Taf' describes something from beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent of the English 'From A to Z' ... Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav...). Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters. Thus, truth is all-encompassing, while falsehood is narrow and deceiving. In Jewish mythology it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ...
The right hand sign towards Golem is the reversal of the left hand sign at Polaris (α - as in Aleph - Ursae Minoris). ... The 'classic' version, however, was much more detailed: the rope would seem to rise high into the skies, disappearing from view. The boy would climb the rope and be lost to view. The magician would call back his boy assistant, and, on getting no response, become furious. The magician then armed himself with a knife or sword and climbed the rope, vanishing too. An argument would be heard, and then limbs would start falling, presumably cut from the assistant by the magician. When all the parts of the body, including the torso, landed on the ground, the magician would climb down the rope. He would collect the limbs and put them in a basket, or collect the limbs in one place and cover them with a cape or blanket. Soon the boy would appear, restored ...
