When Tae-tagaloa had been born on the upraised reef of the New Land a golden plover flew above and a-lighted. His mother Faka-taka could then give names to his limbs:
ξ¹ and ξ² Ceti could mark where this 'upraised reef' with freshwater pools was located. ... 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).  Neck, elbow, and knee - in descending order - could correspond to the 3 limbs in Gb7-30. The last of them is a fin for swimming in the sea and a descending order will then identify the first of these limbs as an 'arm' up in the sky (not a living real arm but its ghostly resemblance) wheras the arm in the center should be an arm down on the surface of the earth. In other words, the baby boy was destined to rule over all 3 levels:
... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Ceasar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia, he ran around naked (except for a girdle - like a maro), and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote their fertility. Surely there must be some connection with the she-goat Amalthea (Capella) who suckled Zeus ... Gb7-30 marked FEBRUARY 17 (48), not 'February 17. In Roman times the date for heliacal ξ¹ Ceti was 'March 26 (85). The feast of Lupercalia had evidently kept the old date in spite of the precession. 48 + 365 = 413 = 14 * 29½. The great cycle of the Moon had been completed and the spring baby had been delivered 'on the upraised reef'. The heart of Cetus could have been at ρ and the upraised reef could have referred to the peninsula on which the Sea Beast was resting her front paws:
... I had decided to look up in what month Caesar was stabbed by Brutus, it just couldn't be July, I thought. My intuition said it should be at the other end of the single-cycle year, at the close of the year. Caesar represented human order and Brutus the 'brutal' chaotic forces which are so strong in spring. I was too lazy to search for Gibbons. Instead a quick look in Wikipedia was immediately rewarding. He was killed in the 'ides of March' (= March 15). And of course, Brutus was not alone - he had a bunch of companion brutes
... The brutes of spring caused the downfall of both Captain Cook and Julius Caesar. We are close to the key myth of mankind, that which explains the regeneration of sun and of growth. Once at least some people kept the tradition living. I became interested in what really happened at March 15 and reopened Henrikson to find out: Caesar was forewarned of the threat by the prophet Spurinna, who told him that a great threat was coming at Idus Martiae or just before. The day arrived and Caesar was still living, walking to his meeting with the Senate when he happened to encounter Spurinna and told him jokingly that he was still alive. Spurinna calmly answered that the day had yet not ended ... The date given, 'March 15', should have been "March 15 rather than 'March 15, because in Gb8-2 the death of a ruler seems to be described. The henua staff is broken. Hatiga te kohe. Having suggested that 'March 15' was not 'March 15 but "March 15 and that 'the middle of February' was not the middle of 'February but the middle of FEBRUARY, I dare suggest it could have been the head of Cetus which described the birth place of Ku - with the back of its head at ξ¹ Ceti and the front of its head at ξ² Ceti. Instead of Sheratan and Hamal:
Or at least could this had been the opinion of Bayer, of Hevelius, and possibly also of some of the astronomers on Hawaii. ... According to an etiological Hawaiian myth, the breadfruit originated from the sacrifice of the war god Ku. After deciding to live secretly among mortals as a farmer, Ku married and had children. He and his family lived happily until a famine seized their island. When he could no longer bear to watch his children suffer, Ku told his wife that he could deliver them from starvation, but to do so he would have to leave them. Reluctantly, she agreed, and at her word, Ku descended into the ground right where he had stood until only the top of his head was visible. His family waited around the spot he had last been, day and night watering it with their tears until suddenly a small green shoot appeared where Ku had stood. Quickly, the shoot grew into a tall and leafy tree that was laden with heavy breadfruits that Ku's family and neighbours gratefully ate, joyfully saved from starvation ...
