Manu kake in glyph 104 (= 8 * 13) came early in Hora Nui:
Here another water 'Serpent' (the first being the Milky Way) was at Al Sharas (β Crateris) on his way further down south towards ξ Hydrae. The pair χ¹ and χ² Hydrae were not connected with the Crater:
Counting halfway through my assumed 27 nights for Pu Pakakina A Ira - from Te Pito O Te Kainga A Hau Maka (Ga4-13, where 413 = 14 * 29½) - leads me to Ga4-27 (where 427 = 61 weeks = 7 double-months):
Here the Sun rose at the same time as ξ Hydrae - as if flushed down by the Hydra 'river' - and there were 100 days remaining to day 12 * 29½ = 354. Water is a phenomenon of summer. The circulation caused by heat from the Sun evaporating the water puddles and then returning the water in form of rain cannot take place in winter. Inky pinky spider climbing up the Spout, down poured the Rain washed poor spider out. Out came the Sun and dried away all rain, inky pinky spider climbing up again. ... 'The rays drink up the little waters of the earth, the shallow pools, making them rise, and then descend again in rain.' Then, leaving aside the question of water, he summed up his argument: 'To draw up and then return what one had drawn - that is the life of the world.' At Ga4-26 we can count 42 * 6 = 252, which probably referred to day 252 (Hora Nui 9), when Gredi (α at the right horn of the Capricorn) culminated at midnight. 25 * 2 = 50 and 2 * 52 = 104.  Vaha mea (red opening) is like the mouth of a shark showing his red gills (mea):
Through such openings (between 'fingers') the light rays from the Sun would enter:
... Rangitokona, prop up the heaven! // Rangitokona, prop up the morning! // The pillar stands in the empty space. The thought [memea] stands in the earth-world - // Thought stands also in the sky. The kahi stands in the earth-world - // Kahi stands also in the sky. The pillar stands, the pillar - // It ever stands, the pillar of the sky. Then for the first time was there light between the Sky and the Earth; the world existed ... "β, of 4.4 magnitude, at the southern edge of the base [of Crater], was one of Al Tizini's Al Sharāsīf, the Ribs, - i.e. of Hydra, - and the first of the set."
