A pair
of bird
women
were
known
also on
Easter
Island:
"The
'lizard
woman' (vie
moko)
and her
younger
sister
the
'booby
woman' (vie
kena)
were
considered
the
originators
of
tattooing
(ME:367-368)."
(The
Eighth
Island)
Tattooing
could
either
be done
in the
painful
and
lasting
way or
in the
easy and
perishable
way - in
black or
in
colours:
... He
continued
travelling
until he
reached
the
house of
Uetonga,
whose
name all
men
know: he
was the
tattoo
expert
of the
world
below,
and the
origin
and
source
of all
the
tattoo
designs
in this
world.
Uetonga
was at
work
tattooing
the face
of a
chief.
This
chief
was
lying on
the
ground
with his
hands
clenched
and his
toes
twitching
while
the
father
of
Niwareka
worked
at his
face
with a
bone of
many
sharpened
points,
and
Mataora
was
greatly
surprised
to see
that
blood
was
flowing
from the
cheeks
of that
chief.
Mataora
had his
own
moko,
it was
done
here in
the
world
above,
but it
was
painted
on with
ochre
and blue
clay.
Mataora
had not
seen
such
moko
as
Uetonga
was
making,
and he
said to
him,
'You are
doing
that in
the
wrong
way, O
old one.
We do
not do
it thus.'
'Quite
so,'
replied
Uetonga,
'you do
not do
it thus.
But
yours is
the way
that is
wrong.
What you
do above
there is
tuhi,
it is
only fit
for
wood.
You
see,' he
said,
putting
forth
his hand
to
Mataora's
cheek,
'it will
rub
off.'
And
Uetonga
smeared
Mataora's
make-up
with his
fingers
and
spoiled
its
appearance.
And all
the
people
sitting
round
them
laughed,
and
Uetonga
with
them ...
Therefore
we
maybe should
equate
vie
kena
with δ¹
Tauri
(Hyadum
II) and
vie
moko
with
Algorab
(δ
Corvi),
where
spring
light
emerged
from the
Rainy
Hyades
respectively
where
Black
Raven
announced
the Sun
was
leaving
- the
door of
entrance
respectively
the door
of exit:

Phoenician dalet |

Greek delta |
Δ (δ) |
... Delta (uppercase Δ, lowercase δ) ... is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 4. It was derived from the Phoenician letter Dalet.
Letters that come from delta include Latin D and Cyrillic Д. A river delta (originally, the Nile River delta) is so named because its shape approximates the upper-case letter delta (the shape is a triangle) ...
Dalet (dāleth, also spelled Daleth or Daled) is the fourth letter of many Semitic alphabets ... The letter is based on a glyph of the Middle Bronze Age alphabets, probably called dalt 'door' (door in Modern Hebrew is delet), ultimately based on a hieroglyph depicting a door.
|
The white booby (kena) woman (vie) could have ruled for 4 * 29½ + 5 = 123 days.
Number 123 was also used for the compressed henua calendar on side a of the G tablet:
... By compressed I mean that the number of glyphs from Ga2-27 (57) up to and including Ga7-10 (179) = 123 is much less than 365. But as if by coincidence 365 - 123 = 242 = number of glyphs on side b of the G tablet. And 471 - 123 = 348 = number of glyphs on side b of the C tablet:

Day 123
counted
from
March 21
(0h) was
at
Tegmine
(Ga2-29)
and 123
was also
the day
number
for ●MAY
3:
... This [ζ Cancri at Ga2-29] lies on the rear edge of the Crab's shell, and is known as Tegmine, In the Covering; but, if the word be allowable at all, it should be Tegmen, as Avienus is supposed to have had it. Ideler, however, said that Avienus was referring to the covering shell of the marine object, and not to the stellar. This is a system of great interest to astronomers from the singular changes in color, the probably existence of a fourth and invisible component, and for the short period of orbital revolution - sixty years - of the two closer stars ...
The
colourful Vie Kena
of
spring
was
possibly
covered
up here
(at ζ Cancri,
between
β and μ),
in rongorongo times 123 days after 0h.
This
Booby
Woman
could
have
gone
under (at)
the
carapace
end of
Cancer,
a
constellation
stretching
for
around
1h with
its nose
touching
that of Leo:
And
because
Vie
Kena
was the
sister
of
Vie Moko
they
could
both
have
measured
123
days, in
which
case
they
together
would
have stretched
for 246
days,
leaving
364 -
246 =
118 days for
the rest
of the
year. 3
* 118 +
2 * 5 =
364.

From ●SEPTEMBER 3 (246) at heliacal Vrischika (π Scorpii) to Yed Posterior (ε Ophiuchi) in November 22 (*246) there were 5 days.
Another view would suggest Kena and Moko were the beginning and the end of the high summer season. Both should belong - like door posts - in the high summer room:
