Supposing the creators of Manuscript E had access to the text on the G tablet - they could then have been inspired by.the back to back ('bouncing apart') pair at 14h:
... The canoes of Ava Rei Pua and of Hotu were seen near the (off-shore) islets. On the fifteenth day of the month of October (tangaroa uri) the canoe of Hotu and the canoe of Ava Rei Pua landed. On the fifteenth day of the month of October (tangaroa uri), Nonoma left the house during the night to urinate outside. At this point Ira called out to Nonoma, 'Look at the canoe!' Nonoma ran, he quickly went to Te Hikinga Heru (a ravine in the side of the crater Rano Kau) and looked around. There he saw the double canoe way out near the (offshore) islets, and the two (hulls of the canoe) were lashed together. He ran and returned to the front of the house. He arrived and called into the house: 'Hey you! This canoe has arrived during the night without our noticing it!' Ira asked Nonoma, 'Where is the canoe, which you say is lying out there (in the water)?' Nonoma's voice came back: 'It is out there (in the water) close to the (offshore) islets! There it lies, and the two (hulls) are lashed together.' The four of them (corrected for 'the six of them') went out and picked up leaves (on branches) to give signals. They picked them up, went and arrived at Te Hikinga and saw the canoe. Raparenga got up, picked up the leaves, took them in his hands, and waved, waved, waved, waved. This was seen by the man who understood signals; he looked down and called out the following to the king: 'They are waving, they are signaling the following message: 'The land is bad, the shoots growing out of the ground cannot spread because the algae-like thicket is very long when it is pulled out, when it is ripped out!' (This means that the runners of the yam roots that were planted are unable to prevail against the heavy weeds, which have to be pulled out continually.) King Hotu called to Tuki, 'Sígnal and answer the following: The homeland is bad too, (because there) the flood brings destruction and the low tide brings relief (this is a reference to the losses caused in Hiva by the rising of the water, or rather, by the subsidence of the land.) (In the meantime) Ira and Nga Tavake had arrived. Tuki signaled and answered the message in this manner - he waved and waved. The signal arrived up (at the cliffs) where Raparenga was. He looked out and watched for it. Then the waving stopped (?). Ira asked, 'Why did they send signals?' Raparenga replied, 'Because we sent signals first'. Ira said, 'We have lost the bad news for you (which means, we have warned you in vain).' Ira said to Raparenga, 'Give signals and tell this: If the canoe continues to the right side (of Easter Island, seen from Motu Nui), they should sail way out because of Tama, an evil fish with a very long nose (this is a wordplay with the place name on the southeastern shore, which 'demands bad victims because of its cliffs').' He waved, waved, waved, waved. The ones on board the boat saw Raparenga's waving and understood. The signals arrived on board the canoe; the waving arrived below (i.e., in the west). The two hulls were no longer kept lashed together (i.e., they were separated for the rest of the journey). Hotu called out to the canoe of the queen: 'Steer the canoe to the left side when you sail in. Teke will jump over on board (your) canoe to work his mana when you sail through the fishing grounds!' Teke jumped on board the second canoe, (that) of the queen. The king's canoe sailed to the right, the queen's to the left. Honga worked his mana in the fishing grounds. (List of five fishing grounds that belong to Hotu and Honga.) Teke worked his mana in the fishing grounds to the left side. (List of nine fishing grounds that belong to Hotu and Teke.)" Possibly, I guess, the fishing grounds were dangerous at this time - closely before spring equinox - because the Sun cycle was divided into 'sea' and 'land': ... In later research it was postulated that the [Phoenician] alphabet is actually two complete lists, the first dealing with land agriculture and activity, and the second dealing with water, sea and fishing. The first half beginning with Alef - an ox, and ending with Lamed - a whip. The second list begins with Mem - water, and continues with Nun - fish, Samek - fish bones, Ayin - a water spring, Peh - the mouth of a well, Tsadi - to fish, Kof, Resh and Shin are the hook hole, hook head and hook teeth, known to exist from prehistoric times, and the Tav is the mark used to count the fish caught ... Therefore, as a protection, it may have been necessary to 'work mana'. The Arab celestial globe shows how Andromeda is 'speared' in her back by a great fish in a gesture which resembles how, we have seen, the Southern Fish was speared by the nail of the Crane.
I think her tua ivi (shoulder-blade) may have protected her, with the Fish 'bouncing back' to return 7 months later, when Arcturus (215.4) arrived. 215.4 - 8.4 = 207 (= 14 * 29½ / 2):
... Mons Maenalus, at the feet of Boötes, was formed by Hevelius, and published in his Firmamentum Sobiescianum; this title coinciding with those of neighboring stellar groups bearing Arcadian names. It is sometimes, although incorrectly, given as Mons Menelaus, - perhaps, as Smyth suggested, after the Alexandrian astronomer referred to by Ptolemy and Plutarch. The Germans know it as the Berg Menalus; and the Italians as Menalo. Landseer has a striking representation of the Husbandsman, as he styles Boötes, with sickle and staff, standing on this constellation figure. A possible explanation of its origin may be found in what Hewitt writes in his Essays on the Ruling Races of Prehistoric Times: The Sun-god thence climbed up the mother-mountain of the Kushika race as the constellation Hercules, who is depicted in the old traditional pictorial astronomy as climbing painfully up the hill to reach the constellation of the Tortoise, now called Lyra, and thus attain the polar star Vega, which was the polar star from 10000 to 8000 B.C. May not this modern companion constellation, Mons Maenalus, be from a recollection of this early Hindu conception of our Hercules transferred to the adjacent Bootes? |
