The last Greek lettered stars in
Gemini were φ and χ, at
the last Toga Nui respectively at the 2nd Rei - where 2-27
could have alluded to 22 / 7 = π
(and possibly also to the position of π
Gemini 5 days earlier).
The left foot of Pollux (ξ,
Alzirr, the Button) was at the complementary side of the
year compared to Nunki. Here should Terra Firma
begin, because Nunki announced the beginning of the
Sea.

... In
rongorongo times the last Greek lettered
star in
Orion (ξ)
rose with the Sun in June 21. The letter
seems to have originated from the
Phoenician letter samekh (tent
peg, supporting prop), which in turn may
have been derived from the ancient
Egytian djed column ...

Modern astronomers had cut up
Argo Navis into pieces in various ways and
similarly the brothers of Maui had
prematurely cut up the 'fish'.
... 'Now while I'm away,' he said, 'show
some common sense and don't be impatient.
Don't eat food until I come back, and
whatever you do don't start cutting up the
fish until I have found a priest and made an
offering to the gods, and completed all the
necessary rites. When I get back it will be
all right to cut him up, and we'll share him
out equally then. What we cannot take with
us will keep until we come back for it.'
Maui then returned to their village. But as
soon as his back was turned his brothers did
the very things that he had told them not
to. They began to eat food, which was a
sacrilege because no portion had yet been
offered to the gods. And they started to
scale the fish and cut bits off it ...
"...
recent astronomers have subdivided the
figure for convenience in reference, and now
know its three divisions as Carina,
the Keel, with 268 stars, Puppis,
the Stern, with 313, and Vela,
the Sail, with 248 ... La Caille, moreover,
formed from stars in the early subordinate
division Malus,
the Mast, Pyxis
Nautica,
the Nautical Box or Mariner's Compass ...
(Allen)
One great piece
of the whole was Carina (the Keel) and another such was the
Stern (Puppis). The creator of the G text
seems to have marked them by their major
stars, Canopus (α)
respectively Naos (ζ). The Rei
type of glyph resembles a ship going down.
