However, the word takaure
should be composed from taka and ure, which gives
us a deeper
meaning:
Taka
Taka,
takataka.
Circle; to form circles, to gather, to get
together (of people). Vanaga.
1. A dredge. P Mgv.:
akataka,
to fish all day or all night with the line,
to throw the fishing line here and there.
This can only apply to some sort of net used
in fishing. We find in Samoa
ta'ā a
small fishing line, Tonga taka the
short line attached to fish hooks, Futuna
taka-taka a fishing party of women in
the reef pools (net), Maori takā the
thread by which the fishhook is fastened to
the line, Hawaii kaa in the same
sense, Marquesas takako a badly spun
thread, Mangareva takara a thread for
fastening the bait on the hook. 2. Ruddy. 3.
Wheel, arch; takataka, ball,
spherical, round, circle, oval, to roll in a
circle, wheel, circular piece of wood,
around; miro takataka, bush; haga
takataka, to disjoin; hakatakataka,
to round, to concentrate. P Pau.:
fakatakataka, to whirl around. Mq.:
taka, to gird. Ta.: taa, circular
piece which connects the frame of a house.
Churchill.
Takai, a curl, to tie; takaikai,
to lace up; takaitakai, to coil. P
Pau.: takai, a ball, to tie. Mgv.:
takai, a circle, ring, hoop, to go
around a thing. Mq.: takai, to voyage
around. Ta.: taai, to make into a
ball, to attach. Churchill. |
Ure
1. Generation; ure matá,
warlike, bellicose generation (matá,
obsidian, used in making weapons). 2.
Offspring; brother; colleague i toou ure
ka tata-mai, your colleague has turned
up. 3. Friendship, friendly relationship;
ku-ké-á te ure, they have become enemies
(lit.: friendship has changed). 4. Penis
(this definition is found in Englert's 1938
dictionary, but not in La Tierra de Hotu
Matu'a). Ure tahiri, to gush, to
spurt, to flow; e-ure tahiri-á te toto,
blood is flowing in gushes. Ure
tiatia moana, whirlwind which descend
quickly and violently onto the ocean;
whirlpool, eddy. Vanaga.
Penis; kiri ure,
prepuce, foreskin. P Pau., Mgv., Ta.: ure,
penis. Ureure, spiral. Ta.:
aureure, id. Urei, to show the
teeth. Mgv.: urei, to uncover the eye
by rolling back the lids. Churchill.
Pau.: Ureuretiamoana,
waterspout. Ta.: ureuretumoana, id.
Churchill.
H. Ule 1. Penis.
For imaginative compounds see 'a'awa
1, 'aweule, ulehala,
ulehole, ulepa'a, ulepuaa,
ule'ulu. Kū ka ule, he'e ka laho,
the penis is upright, the scrotum runs away
(refers to breadfruit: when the blossom (pōule)
appears erect, there will soon be fruit). 2.
Tenon for a mortise; pointed end of a post
which enters the crotch of a rafter (also
called ma'i kāne). Ho'o ule,
to form a tenon or post for the crotch of a
rafter. 3. To hang. Wehewehe. |
... There is a couple residing in
one place named Kui and
Fakataka. After the couple stay
together for a while Fakataka
is pregnant. So they go away because
they wish to go to another place -
they go. The canoe goes and goes,
the wind roars, the sea churns, the
canoe sinks. Kui expires
while Fakataka swims.
Fakataka
swims and swims, reaching another
land. She goes there and stays on
the upraised reef in the freshwater
pools on the reef, and there
delivers her child, a boy child. She
gives him the name Taetagaloa.
When the baby is born a golden
plover flies over and alights upon
the reef.
(Kua
fanau lā te pepe kae lele mai te
tuli oi tū mai i te papa).
And so the woman thus names various
parts of the child beginning with
the name 'the plover' (tuli):
neck (tuliulu), elbow (tulilima),
knee (tulivae)
...
Rogo in Gb6-26 was at 0h in
rongorongo times and the glyph is number 408 in the
text.

Takaure in Gb3-1 corresponded
to day 408 in Roman times, i.e. to 'February 12. In
rongorongo times the stars were rising with the
Sun 27 days later, in March 11 = 355 days after 0h
(and 10 days before 0h) - a number alluding to day
355 counted from January 1 (i.e. to the December
solstice). Counting from the first X (takaure at heliacal Kerb) the distance to 0h was
12 days.
At Gb2-34 (60) we can count 234 = 13
* 18 and day 60 counted from January 1 was March 1 -
included in the 6 days beyond Terminalia
according to the Roman way of counting - which
reminds us of Tau-ono.
Possibly the idea with this pair of
takaure glyphs was to state that the past
cycle had gone around (haka)taka and was here generating (ure)
a new cycle of the same kind - both when counting with 12 months (the
modern structure) and when counting according to the old
model (10 months).
The old model could possibly have
been inherited from the time
of Bharani, when heliacal Kerb was at day 392
("January 27). 13 * 27 = 351 = 355 - 4. On the Mamari
tablet side a carries 392 glyphs.
