In P the 20th line is beginning where there are hanau glyphs:
Hanau
1. Race, ethnic group. Hanau eepe, the thick-set race; hanau momoko, the slender race (these terms were mistranslated as 'long-ears' and 'short-ears'). 2. To be born. Hanau tama, pregnant woman; vî'e hanau poki, midwive (also: vî'e hakaa'u). Vanaga.
To be born; vie hanau, midwife. P Pau.: fanauga, child, descendant, progeny. Mgv.: hanau, to be born, to be brought into the world. Mq.: fanau, hanau, to be born, to lie in, to bring into the world. Ta.: fanau, to be born, to lie in. Churchill. |

The pair of hipu in Pb9-8 (number 1000) and Pb9-18 are exactly alike and could together to define a region. Hanau and hipu appear together like births and 'calabashes':
Hipu
Calabash, shell, cup, jug, goblet, pot, plate,
vase, bowl, any such receptacle; hipu hiva, melon,
bottle; hipu takatore, vessel; hipu unuvai,
drinking glass. P Mgv.: ipu, calabash, gourd for carrying
liquids. Mq.: ipu, all sorts of small vases, shell, bowl,
receptacle, coconut shell. Ta.: ipu, calabash, cup,
receptacle. Churchill. |
... Dans leurs pričres, en demandant ŕ
Makémaké de petits calebasses, c'étaient surtout des enfants
qu'ils désignaient par ce mot ...
The prayers for children were adressed
to Makemake who might have been Venus. She was foamborn from the
sea and the hanau
glyph type looks like a drawing of someone personifying the waves of the
sea.
In Hb7-45 (where 74 * 5 = 2 * 185) we
can imagine a pregnant figure generating (with her foot as ure)
a little nuku. 7 * 45 = 314 + 1.
In the parallel Pb9-14 we can count
91 * 4 = 2 * 182, and then also 9 * 14 = 4 * (31.4 + 0.1). We have to accept the possibility
there were twin ways to multiply the parts of a glyph number.
