The Polynesian word varu (8) - as in Ana-varu
(8th star) - could be related to varua (spirit):
|
Varu 1. To cut one's hair (te puoko). 2. To shave.
3. To paint, to put on make-up: he varu te kiea. Varu a-roto,
to have diarrhoea. Vanaga.
1. Eight. 2. To shave, to remove the beard, to shear,
to clip, to rasp, a plane. Varuvaru, to peel, to remove the bark,
to plane, to scrape, to shear. Churchill. |
|
Varua Spirit, soul; sleep, dream. This is a Tahitian word,
but the same term may have been used in ancient times. Vanaga. |
It should also be mentioned that Heka (λ
Orionis) signifies a very special place:
...
λ
and the two stars phi furnish an easy refutation
of the popular error as to the apparent magnitude of the
moon's disc, Colas writing of this in the Celestial
Handbook of 1892:
In looking
at this triangle nobody would think that the moon could
be inserted in it; but as the distance from
λ
to φ¹
is 27', and the distance from
φ¹
to φ²
is 33', it is a positive fact;
the moon's
mean apparent diameter being 31' 7''.
This
illusion, prevalent in all ages, has attracted the
attention of many great men; Ptolemy, Roger Bacon,
Kepler, and others having treated of it. The lunar disc,
seen by the naked eye of an uninstructed observer,
appears, as it is frequently expressed 'about the size
of a dinner-plate', but should be seen as only equal to
a peppercorn ...
The Sun's disc is about the same size as
that of the face of the Moon and it could therefore be
said that λ Orionis could
hide the Sun:

Λ (λ) |
|
... Wikipedia has
no information regarding the origin of the
Phoenician lamedh, but the Egyptian
'cloth' hieroglyph (menchet) is - I
suggest - related to the 4 upside down sky
pillars. I.e. the basic element of the
'covering' hieroglyph could have indicated
darkness:
