1. There could be valuable information embedded in Makoi's list of place names. Primarily we should look at the structure of the version which has numbers. The list begins on page 38 of Manuscript E and I have marked with red such abbreviated names which I intend to use in the following:

38)
1 ko apina iti.ko rapa kura.he oho mai he
2 tuu ki hanga o uo.he nape i te ingoa.ko hanga o uo
  a vave renga.
  he nape he oho a Makoi .i te ingoa.ka vari ro.
  a arurua.aro i apina nui i hakatuu ai
  te maea.etahi no raa.i nape i oho ai.
3 hanga roa a tuki tukau
4 Okahu a uka ui hetuu.
5 ra tahai a uo.
6 ahu akapu a mata kurakura.
7 kihikihi rau mea a rapa rau renga
8 renga a tini a toto renga
9 vai a mei u(h)i kapokapo.
10 rua a ngau a nua ngirongiro.
11 roro hau a mana ai rea.
12 vai poko aa raa mata turu
13 ko te hereke a kino ariki

Although page 38 has 17 text lines and as a rule each numbered place has been given a separate line the last item on page 38 has number 13. To have number 17 at the end of a page would have been wrong, because number 17 belongs at the beginning of a sequence of items, not at its end.

Thus the last item on page 38 must either be number 16 or some other suitable number. Item number 2 has been given 5 lines and its text is different in kind from those of the following. As a result number 13 is at the end of the page.

In order to get an overview of Makoi's list I have had to eliminate a lot of information. As a first step my abbreviated names are presented in a table:

1 Apina Iti 4 Okahu
2 Hanga O Uo 5 Ra Tahai
3 Hanga Roa 6 Ahu Akapu
  7 Kihikihi Rau Mea
8 Renga A Tini
9 Vai A Mei
10 Rua A Ngau
11 Roro Hau
12 Vai Poko
13 Te Hereke

For instance is the Capital Letter of Okahu now no longer visible as a sign. Possibly it means that we should understand 13 as 3 + 10. By forming a separate group for the first 3 items we will remember the sign.

Rua A Ngau should in principle have been written Rua A NGau because ng is another way of writing the sound g. We should not say 'letter' because Polynesian ought not be written with letters but with signs representing either one of the 5 vocal sounds (a, e, i, o, u) or a combination of consonant sounds (13 such, or less depending on the dialect) followed by one of the vocals.

Item 13 is probably special, not only because of its location at the end of the page (suggesting a meaning connected with the idea of 'end') but also because of Te (probably referring to Sun).
