The
implication is that Maui dropped his loin cloth (maro)
because he was drawing up the land ('the fish') which had been 'inundated'
(similar to when in ancient Egypt the greatest of all the stars,
Sirius, forced the waters of the Nile to recede). Maui had to move
from June (Maro) to Anakena (July).

In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ. Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter Rho, it is called the labarum and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ. (Wikipedia)
... tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300 ... Taw is believed to be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...
Taw, Tav or Taf is the twenty-second and last letter in many Semitic abjads ... In gematria Tav represents the number 400, the largest single number that can be represented without using the Sophit forms ...
'From Aleph to Taf' describes something from beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent of the English 'From A to Z' ...
Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav...). Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters.
Thus, truth is all-encompassing, while falsehood is narrow and deceiving. In Jewish mythology it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ... (Wikipedia)

Wikipedia:
The adze is shown in
ancient Egypt from the Old Kingdom onward. Originally the adze
blades were made of stone, but already in the Predynastic Period
copper adzes had all but replaced those made of flint. While stone
blades were fastened to the wooden handle by tying, metal blades had
sockets into which the handle was fitted ... A depiction of an adze
was also used as a hieroglyph, representing the consonants stp,
'chosen', and used as: ...Pharaoh XX, chosen of God/Goddess YY...
The ahnetjer
(Manuel de Codage transliteration: aH-nTr) depicted as an
adze-like instrument, was used in the Opening of the Mouth ceremony,
intended to convey power over their senses to statues and mummies.
It was apparently the foreleg of a freshly sacrificed bull or cow
with which the mouth was touched ... The ritual involved the
symbolic animation of a statue or mummy by magically opening its
mouth so that it could breathe and speak. There is evidence of this
ritual from the Old Kingdom to the Roman Period. Special tools were
used to perform the ceremony, such as a ritual adze, an arm shaped
ritual censer, a spooned blade known as a peseshkaf, a
serpent-head blade, and a variety of other amulets. A calf's leg was
also held up to the lips painted on the coffin.
The ancient Egyptians
believed that in order for a person's soul to survive in the
afterlife it would need to have food and water. A special ritual
called the 'Opening of the Mouth' was performed so that the person
who died could eat and drink again in the afterlife. |

The tau letter (τ)
- as for instance in τ Aquilae - could have meant temporary death:
... The manner of his death can
be reconstructed from a variety of legends, folk-customs and other religious
survivals. At mid-summer, at the end of a half-year reign, Hercules is made
drunk with mead and led into the middle of a circle of twelve stones
arranged around an oak, in front of which stands an altar-stone; the oak has
been lopped until it is T-shaped. He is bound to it with willow thongs in
the 'five-fold bond' which joins wrists, neck, and ankles together, beaten
by his comrades till he faints, then flayed, blinded, castrated, impaled
with a mistletoe stake, and finally hacked into joints on the altar-stone.
His blood is caught in a basin and used for sprinkling the whole tribe to
make them vigorous and fruitful. The joints are roasted at twin fires of
oak-loppings, kindled with sacred fire preserved from a lightning-blasted
oak or made by twirling an alder- or cornel-wood fire-drill in an oak log.
The trunk is then uprooted and
split into faggots which are added to the flames. The twelve merry-men rush
in a wild figure-of-eight dance around the fires, singing ecstatically and
tearing at the flesh with their teeth. The bloody remains are burnt in the
fire, all except the genitals and the head. These are put into an alder-wood
boat and floated down the river to an islet; though the head is sometimes
cured with smoke and preserved for oracular use. His tanist succeeds him and
reigns for the remainder of the year, when he is sacrificially killed by a
new Hercules.
The rho letter (ρ) may have been
chosen for the midnight culmination of Antares (cfr at ρ Gemini), where he
was turned into a 'ghost':

The Malay word for 'year' is taun or
tahun. In all Polynesian dialects the primary sense is 'a
season', 'a period of time'. In the Samoan group tau or
tausanga, besides the primary sense of season, has the
definite meaning of 'a period of six months', and conventionally
that of 'a year', as on the island of Tonga. Here the word has
the further sense of 'the produce of the year', and derivatively
'a year'. In the Society group it simply means 'season'. In the
Hawaiian group, when not applied to the summer season, the word
keeps its original sense of 'an indefinite period of time', 'a
life-time, an age', and is never applied to the year: its
duration may be more or less than a year, according to
circumstances. So far our authority (Fornander, I, 124; cp.
119). It seems however to be questionable whether the original
sense is not the concrete 'produce of the seasons', rather than
the abstract 'period of time'. It is significant that on the
Society Islands the bread-fruit season is called te tau,
and the names of the other two seasons, te tau miti rahi
and te tau poai, are formed by adding to this name.
