However, I have in my list no prominent Argo Navis
star at Rei in Ga4-17.
The Toga Nui 'Fish' changed into New Zealand
(the New Sea-Land). A 'petrified fish' ought
to be flat and inviting, but such was not the case, because
the brothers of Maui had acted prematurely.
... When they
did this, Maui had not yet reached the sacred place and
the presence of the gods. Had he done so, all the male
and female deities would have been appeased by the
promise of portions of the fish, and Tangaroa would have
been content. As it was they were angry, and they caused
the fish of Maui to writhe and lash about like any other
fish. That is the reason why this land, Aotearoa,
is now so rough and mountainous and much of it so
unuseful to man. Had the brothers done as Maui told them
it would have lain smooth and flat, an example to the
world of what good land should be. But as soon as the
sun rose above the horizon the writhing fish of Maui
became solid underfoot, and could not be smoothed out
again ...
I think the myth could
here refer to the outline of the keel of Argo Navis,
flat like the surface of the sea at bottom but with
'mountain peaks' defining its upper border 'sky line':
New Zealand was divided in two great
islands and so apparently was also the keel of Argo
Navis. As if it had been the pair of hulls of a double canoe.
Nakshatra Fomalhaut (Mouth of the Fish)
could have been the reason for the 3rd Rei.
The 4th Rei was also possible to
associate with the nakshatra view, we remember:

I think the Rei type of glyph
could refer to the dark Winter Fish who at Dawn
changed into a solid (frozen, petrified) Fish of Summer
- the stars were no longer easy to observe and
nothing would change as long as the Sun blinded the
astronomers.
