To flex the knees lightly, as used to do the youths of both sexes when, after having stayed inside for a long period to get a fair complexion, they showed themselves off in dances called te hikiga haúga, parading on a footpath of smooth stones, with their faces painted, lightly flexing their knees with each step. Tail fin G (? hiku).

Pau.: Hiki. 1. To fondle. Mgv.: hiki, to dandle. Ta.: hii, id. Mq.: hiki, id. 2. To flee. Mq.: hiki, flight. Pau.: Fakahihiu, to scare away, Ma.: whiu, to drive. Mgv.: Hiki, to commence or to finish mat weaving. Mq.: hiki, to finish mat weaving.

Winter is fleeing (hiki) and it is time to flex the knees lightly in the dance named te hikiga haúga, to walk ahead on a path of smooth stones and with faces painted in colours not visible in the time of Moon - without Sun present no true colours can be seen.

It is not necessary to argue any more, Te Kioe Uri must be located at the opening of summer (vaha hora), and in the geography of Easter Island it was (according to Manuscript E and the kuhane voyage) located somewhere on the eastern slope of Rano Kau (through which the agreeable breeze arrives).

In the G text Te Kioe Uri ought to be somewhere in the middle of side a, possibly halfway to day number 236 (if we count by Moon). 236 / 2 = 118 = 4 * 29.5 and these are the relevant glyphs:


Ga5-4	Ga5-5	Ga5-6	Ga5-7 (118)	Ga5-8	Ga5-9

In Ga5-7 the running person at left has an incredibly high neck and this could refer to the high sky accomplished during the first quarter. He seems to be running away. To the right he has a vai sign (as in vai ora a Tane, the 'living water' of Tane). The first 'ebb night' in the Hawaiian calendar was Kane (Tane):

*1 Hilo*	*7 Ole-ku-kahi*	*14 Akua*	*21 Ole-ku-kahi*	*26 Kane*
*2 Hoaka*	*8 Ole-ku-lua*	*15 Hoku*	*22 Ole-ku-lua*	*27 Lono*
*3 Ku-kahi*	*9 Ole-ku-kolu*	*16 Mahea-lani*	*23 Ole-pau*	*28 Mauli*
*4 Ku-lua*	*10 Ole-pau*	*17 Kulu*	*24 Kaloa-ku-kahi*	*29 Muku*
*5 Ku-kolu*	*11 Huna*	*18 Laau-ku-kahi*	*25 Kaloa-ku-lua*
*6 Ku-pau*	*12 Mohalu*	*19 Laau-ku-lua*
	*13 Hua*	*20 Laau-pau*

Appropriately Ga5-7 is a day of Mars - he should rule in the 2nd quarter, because he personifies Spring Sun. Tuesday is the 3rd day of the week and there are only 3 crescent ends visible beneath the double-oval of vai (instead of its normal 4). The missing one seems to be referring to the person who is running away, and indeed there are only 3 * 118 = 354 days (12 synodic lunar months) left of the total 16 * 29.5 = 472 in the text.

Kiore+henua+maro in Ga5-9 is the 17th glyph of 31 such, and - we know - number 17 indicates a new sequence of glyphs, a new season. Counting by Sun results in 4 * 30 = 120, and 31 - 16 = 15 glyphs of this kind possibly will measure the length of the coming 'Mars rule':

	59
Ga5-9 (120)	59	Ga7-10 (180)
17	13	31
*15 = 3 5**

If so, then he has only 2 months, not a full quarter. But it can make sense if we define the cycle of Sun as similar to a hexagon:

There are only 6 days of light in the week - Saturday is without. Therefore each 'planet' (excepting Saturn) should have 2 months of the year.

Te Kioe Uri has the central position of those kuhane stations which begin with Te Pu Mahore and ends with Te Pou. Also Saturn is visible according to Moon. Maybe we should colour according to the week:

Waxing Moon

Close to Rano Kau
*Te Pu Mahore*	*Te Poko Uri*	*Te Manavai*	*Te Kioe Uri*

Along the southern coast
*Te Piringa Aniva*	*Te Pei*	*Te Pou*

Saturn should rule also Nga Kope Ririva according to my idea. Venus at Te Pei is a reasonable choice, because 236 is not only equal to 8 * 29.5 but also possible to cordinate with Venus as morning star:

phase	observed periods	perhaps the periods in G	difference
evening star	263	290	+ 27
black	8	8	-
morning star	263	236	- 27
black	50	50	-
sum	584	584	-
