14. Kai viri, kai viri - not forgotten - is April 10 at hoea pau in Gb3-30:
Moving forward from the heliacal rising of Antares in Ga7-16 will lead us to April 10 after 35 + 100 days and to April 11 after 136 days (where Antares should be culminating at midnight). And after a further 358 - 101 = 257 days we will be at Christmas Eve. April 11 and Christmas Eve are presumably not to be regarded as 257 days apart - because 256 (= 16 * 16) would be much better - and we should instead try to count in the opposite direction: 7 (december) + 100 (January 1 - April 10) = 107 (= 472 - 365). Moving forward from mago in Ga7-16 step by step according to the days of heliacal rising will soon lead us to Christmas Eve - it seems to be both in line Ga8 and at the end of line Gb3.
And if hoea pau in Gb3-30 also represents the night of April 10, then Antares could be alluded to in April 9 (at Anunitum). Gb7-16 and Ga7-16 are both mago glyphs:
... 186 + 214 = 400 could be a Sign that Ga7-16 and Ga8-10 are to be considered together. By the way, 71 * 6 = 426 is the glyph where I have placed the heliacal rising of Anunitum (τ Piscium ). In Manuscript E we can read about the 'Candlemas' event of the explorers: ... Again they went on and reached Hanga Hoonu. They saw it, looked around, and gave the name 'Hanga Hoonu A Hau Maka'. On the same day, when they had reached the Bay of Turtles, they made camp and rested. They all saw the fish that were there, that were present in large numbers - Ah! Then they all went into the water, moved toward the shore, and threw the fish (with their hands) onto the dry land. There were great numbers (? ka-mea-ro) of fish. There were tutuhi, paparava, and tahe mata pukupuku. Those were the three kinds of fish. After they had thrown the fish on the beach, Ira said, 'Make a fire and prepare the fish!' When he saw that there was no fire, Ira said, 'One of you go and bring the fire from Hanga Te Pau!' One of the young men went to the fire, took the fire and provisions (from the boat), turned around, and went back to Hanga Hoonu. When he arrived there, he sat down. They prepared the fish in the fire on the flat rocks, cooked them, and ate until they were completely satisfied. Then they gave the name 'The rock, where (the fish) were prepared in the fire with makoi (fruit of Thespesia populnea?) belongs to Ira' (Te Papa Tunu Makoi A Ira). They remained in Hanga Hoonu for five days ... (Cfr in The Place Aloft.) It is so obvious, they stayed for 5 days at Hanga Hoonu and there was no fire - fire was needed and had to be fetched from the proper source. Other signs are added. First of all there was a trip into the water: ... In the deep night before the image [of Lono] is first seen, there is a Makahiki ceremony called 'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino tells of sacred chiefs being carried to the water where the people in their finery are bathing; in the excitement created by the beauty of their attire, 'one person was attracted to another, and the result', says this convert to Catholicism, 'was by no means good'. And then there was plenty of food (cfr the Christmas Evening painting by Carl Larsson) so everyone could eat until they were completely satisfied. The luxury (Latin lux means light) food on Easter Island was fish and fishes there are from glyph 365 all the way through the midnight culminations of the Crux stars to hakaariki:
