2. The
Aquarius
constellation
stretches
all the
way to
the
'Reef'
- right
ascension
0h,
where
the
ecliptic
path of
Sun
crosses
the line
for 0º.
This is
where
'Land' is
rising
again
from the
'Sea'
and
where
the 'Sun
Bird'
will
show
himself
anew after
having
moved up
from the
Tropic
of
Capricorn:
...
There
is a
couple
residing
in
one
place
named
Kui
and
Fakataka.
After
the
couple
stay
together
for
a
while
Fakataka
is
pregnant.
So
they
go
away
because
they
wish
to
go
to
another
place
-
they
go.
The
canoe
goes
and
goes,
the
wind
roars,
the
sea
churns,
the
canoe
sinks.
Kui
expires
while
Fakataka
swims.
Fakataka
swims
and
swims,
reaching
another
land.
She
goes
there
and
stays
on
the
upraised
reef
in
the
freshwater
pools
on
the
reef,
and
there
delivers
her
child,
a
boy
child.
She
gives
him
the
name
Taetagaloa.
When
the
baby
is
born
a
golden
plover
flies
over
and
alights
upon
the
reef.
(Kua
fanau
lā
te
pepe
kae
lele
mai
te
tuli
oi
tū
mai
i te
papa).
And
so
the
woman
thus
names
various
parts
of
the
child
beginning
with
the
name
'the
plover'
(tuli):
neck
(tuliulu),
elbow
(tulilima),
knee
(tulivae)
...
Fakataka
means to
complete
a cycle
(see at
Time
Travel)
and
Taetagaloa
means
'no
(longer)
Sea'.
The
Golden
Plover
alighted
on the
reef,
i.e.
brought
life. On
Easter
Island there
were 4
stations
for
the
children defined
by the
corresponding
names
for the
offspring
of the Sea
Swallow:
| Manu tara Sooty tern. The names of the age levels of the sooty tern were earlier used as children's names (Routledge). These names were (Barthel): pi(u) riuriu, kava 'eo'eo, te verovero, and ka 'ara'ara. Fischer. |
In an
overview
of the
southern
sky
we
can see
that the
Tropic
of
Capricorn
(the
lowest
point of
Sun at
18h)
nowadays
is close
to
Corona
Australis:
This
probably
explains
why one
of the
manzils
(Akleel)
is
defined
by
the
position
of Corona
Australis:
