Possibly items 30 and 31 are crossed over because
number 29 is suitable for an end station. Te Rano A Raraku is where the statues (moai)
were hewed out from the rock and these statues represent dead
ancestors. Number 29 (the dark night of the moon) is therefore
appropritate.
Only one other item has Te, viz. number 26.
This number could be the number of birth for a sequence referring to
Sun.

I have redmarked Te to focus our attention.
26 = 2 * 13 = (3 + 10) + (3 + 10), and by adding a 3rd group of 3
another Te station is reached. 29 = 3 + 10 + 3 + 10 + 3.
Hakarava means to add, and
hakarava hakaturu means quadrangular. But hakarava
is also equal to haka-rava and rava is to be complete, i.e. hakarava
should basically mean 'to finish'. Presumably the idea is to indicate how the path of
Sun is complete at Te Hakarava.
The sign Te together with 29 (and the names
and the overall patterns of these two pages) are so clear that the pair of overcrossed
items at the end of page 39 must have another function than to show
that Te Rano A Raraku is an end station. Presumably, therefore, the intention is to show how
the first 31 items in Makoi's list can be used to count the
days of a month according to a solar calendar.
There are 19 text lines on page 39, and together with 17
lines on page 38 the total becomes 36. With the overcrossed Moto
Kumu the cycle described on this pair of pages is evidently
completed.
Moto 1. Pau.: moto, fist,
a blow. Mgv.: moto, a blow of the fist. Ta.: moto
id. Mq.: moto, to box, to spar. Sa.: moto, a
blow of the fist. Ma.: moto, id. 2. Mgv.: moto,
unripe, green, raw. Sa.: moto, green, unripe. |
Kumu To
draw back, to withdraw. Kukumu, cheek; kukumu kivakiva,
dourness.
Mgv.: kumu, the fist. Ma.: kumu, id.
Kukumu, 1. To close the fist. Ta.: uumu, id. Sa.: 'u'u,
id. Ma.: kumu, to clench the fist. 2. To press, to squeeze. Ta.:
uumu, id. Kumukumu, to prepare small portions of food
pressed with the hand. Ta.: umua, to make into balls, to press,
to wring. Mq.: kumu-hei, a small bundle of fragrant herbs. Ma.:
kumu, to bring in the hollow of the hand. |
The closed fist (kumu) of course must signify
'closed'. The Samoan version 'u'u could be alluded to in
Kuukuu, which name then will imply both hard as a fist (i.e.
unripe, moto) and to draw back (kumu), viz. move into the
'cave' of mother earth. In other words Kuukuu could imply both
beginning (fist) and end (withdrawal). The overcrossed Moto Kumu would then refer
to the no longer visible Kuukuu. The mother has recalled (kuukuu)
her offspring:
Kuukuu
To call one's young (of hens).
Kókokóko, to crow, to cackle (of rooster or hen). |
There are closed fists together with tagata
(fully grown)
and ure (penis) signs in Gb5-17 and Gb6-25 after the completed
