At left is Virgo and at right Scorpius. The horizontal direction establishes a Sign not only of descending in the west (scorpions do not like to be out in the sun) but it is also a hint to the surface of water. Sun is like fire and Moon like water. There is a pair of cups and 2 months (59) are needed for measures by Moon.

To establish a true horizontal direction a so-called 'spirit' level should be used:

A bowl needs 3 fix points symmetrically arranged around its circumference in order to be used for weighing. In the spirit level one of these dimensions is eliminated by the 'rod' through which the bubble of air quickly moves, invulnerable to the surrounding fluid. Measuring by Sun there are 2 halfyears.

Perhaps this hollow rod corresponds to the one which was broken at Hatinga Te Kohe:

... The dream soul went on. She was careless (?) and broke the kohe plant with her feet. She named the place 'Hatinga Te Koe A Hau Maka O Hiva'. The dream soul went on and came to Roto Ire Are. She gave the name 'Roto Ire Are A Hau Maka O Hiva' ...

Kohe

A plant (genus Filicinea) that grows on the coast. Vanaga.

Vave kai kohe, inaccessible. Churchill.

*Kofe is the name for bamboo on most Polynesian islands, but today on Easter Island kohe is the name of a fern that grows near the beach. Barthel 2.

Next kuhane station is Roto Iri Are which is in good harmony with the idea of the 'surface of the sea':

Iri

1. To go up; to go in a boat on the sea (the surface of which gives the impression of going up from the coast): he-eke te tagata ki ruga ki te vaka, he-iri ki te Hakakaiga, the men boarded the boat and went up to Hakakainga. 2. Ka-iri ki puku toiri ka toiri. Obscure expression of an ancient curse. Vanaga.

Iri-are, a seaweed. Vanaga.
