In
Ga2-13 a fish is rising and in Ga2-17 a fish is descending. An
asterism which is rising with its 'head' first (a normal 'birth')
will have a 'life' which ends at the horizon in the west with
its head down first and its 'tail' at its end.
In the
times of Gregorius XIII the position of Al Baldah (π
Sagittarii) was close to the Full Moon in day 183 (ºJuly
2). Half a year later it was the Sun who visited Al Baldah and
this was also the first day of the new year. The rising fish could
allude to ºJanuary 1.
Alhena, the star close to ψ9 Aurigae, is
γ Gemini at the left foot of Pollux
and Alzirr is ξ at his right foot:
4
stars (Alhena, Alzirr, Tejat Prior, Tejat Posterior) -
representing the feet of the twins - ruled the 4th Arab manzil
Al Han'ah, a name rather close to the
Polyensian word for 'earth', viz. henua. And the
name of the preceding manzil Al Hak'ah could easily have
influenced the
name for the Maui magic incantation for making things lighter (Hiki).
| Hiki
To flex the knees lightly, as
used to do the youths of both sexes when, after
having stayed inside for a long period to get a
fair complexion, they showed themselves off in
dances called te hikiga haúga, parading
on a footpath of smooth stones, with their faces
painted, lightly flexing their knees with each
step. Vanaga.
Tail fin G (? hiku).
Churchill.
Hiki kioe (Cyperus
vegetus), a plant whose roots were eaten during
times of famine and the stems of which were used
for medicinal purposes. Barthel 2.
Pau.: Hiki. 1. To
fondle. Mgv.: hiki, to dandle. Ta.:
hii, id. Mq.: hiki, id. 2. To flee.
Mq.: hiki, flight. Pau.: Fakahihiu,
to scare away, Ma.: whiu, to drive.

Mgv.: Hiki, to commence
or to finish mat weaving. Mq.: hiki, to
finish mat weaving. Churchill. |
Another version of the star name Heka was Hika.

The
Egyptian god Heka was a magician. The version below has his
right forefinger pointing to his mouth:
In
ºJuly 4 (*471) Wasat ('the Middle', δ Gemini) was
close to the ecliptic and it may have represented the navel of Pollux.
The navel of Castor could
be at ω Gemini. Notably Castor carries a little harp. Between
Alhena (103.8) and Vega (281.8) there were 177 (= 6 * 29½) days.
