5. If we try to locate Hanga Te Pau in time we can begin by once again looking at the kuhane stations. Earlier we have grouped the 7 first on the mainland as follows:

Close to Rano Kau

1 Te Pu Mahore

2 Te Poko Uri

3 Te Manavai

4 Te Kioe Uri

Along the southern coast

5 Te Piringa Aniva

6 Te Pei

7 Te Pou

Now we can regroup the first 4 of them as 2 + 2, because Jupiter is the last one of those 8 who stayed behind, he is not going any further. We can think of him as Te Puoko Uri (the black head) who went down into the fragrant (poko) hole (poko) of 'the old woman' (vî'e pokopoko) - i.e. Mother Earth.

Venus is ruling the sea voyage of the explorers, the first phase of next generation:

Close to Rano Kau

Te Pu Mahore

Te Poko Uri

Te Manavai

Te Kioe Uri

The pattern is like that at the entrance of our hare paega, the 2 last 'holes' of the previous cycle on one hand and the 2 first of the new cycle on the other:

Counting to the corner stone Paenga Vari Pini (maybe corresponding to the curve or joint in time preceding Hanga Te Pau) its hole will be number 2 + 8 = 10. The first hole of those 8 should be at Te Piringa Aniva, and the 8th should be at Tama (we have to add 4 in order find the numbers of the corresponding kuhane stations):

Close to Rano Kau

1 Te Pu Mahore

2 Te Poko Uri

3 Te Manavai

4 Te Kioe Uri

Along the southern coast

5 Te Piringa Aniva

6 Te Pei

7 Te Pou

8 Hua Reva

9 Akahanga

10 Hatinga Te Kohe

11 Roto Iri Are
12 Tama

13 One Tea

14 Hanga Takaure

A 'fortnight' consists of 2 'weeks', and therefore the planetary pattern will be repeated twice. Number 9 (the 5th hole beyond the entrance) identifies another 'day' of Jupiter and Akahanga is indeed a location where the Sun King will be 'buried'. If we think month instead of 'day' and halfyear instead of week, it should not be strange to have 2 'Jupiter persons' being left behind.

The preceding hole (the 4th beyond the entrance) corresponds to Hua Reva, and this name is cleverly embedded in the picture, because a 'fruit' (hua) is hanging (reva) - the hole in the stone is not there, instead there is a hole in the pole which supports the roof.

Reva

To hang down; flag, banner. Revareva, 1. To be hanging vertically; to detach oneself from the background of the landscape, such a person standing on top of a hill: ku-revareva-á te tagata i ruga i te maúga. 2. To cast itself, to project itself (of shadows); revareva-á te kohu o te miro i te maeha o te mahina, the shadow of the tree casts itself in the light of the moon. 3. Uvula.

To hang, to suspend, flag, banner; hakareva, to hang up; hakarereva, to hang up, to balance; hakarevareva, to wave. T Pau.: reva, a flag; fakarevareva, to hang up, to suspend. Mgv.: reva, a flag, a signal. Mq.: éva, to hang up, to be suspended, to wave a signal. Ta.: reva, a flag, banner; revareva, to wave. The germ sense is that of being suspended ... any light object hung up in the island air under the steady tradewind will flutter; therefore the specification involved in the wave sense is no more than normal observation.

Mgv.: 1. A plant. Ta.: reva, id. Mq.: eva, id. Sa.: leva, id. Ma.: rewa-rewa, id. 2. To cross, to pass across quickly; revaga, departure. Ta.: reva, to go away, to depart. Ma.: reva, to get under way. Ta.: The firmanent, atmosphere. Ha.: lewa, the upper regions of the air, atmosphere, the visible heavens.

And reva also means an uvula - which is hanging from the 'roof ' at the back of the mouth. Next station must be to be swallowed (at Akahanga).
