Paka. 1. Dry; to become dry (of things); pakapaka, to dry out.

To go, to depart; he-paka-mai, to come; he-oho, he-paka, they go away. 3. To become calm (of the sea): ku-paka-á te tai. Pakahera, skull, shell, cranium; pakahera puoko tagata, human skull; pakahera pikea, shell of crab or crayfish. Gutu pakapaka, scabbed lips.

Pakahera pikea, shell of crab or crayfish. Churchill. Kau. 1. To move one's feet (walking or swimming); ana oho koe, ana kau i te va'e, ka rava a me'e mo kai, if you go and move your feet, you'll get something to eat; kakau (or also kaukau), move yourself swimming. 2. To spread (of plants): ku-kau-áte kumara, the sweet potatoes have spread, have grown a lot. 3. To swarm, to mill around (of people): ku-kau-á te gagata i mu'a i tou hare, there's a crowd of people milling about in front of your house. 4. To flood (of water after the rain): ku-kau-á te vai haho, the water has flooded out (of a container such as a taheta). 5. To increase, to multiply: ku-kau-á te moa, the chickens have multiplied. 6. Wide, large: Rano Kau, 'Wide Crater' (name of the volcano in the southwest corner of the island). 7. Expression of admiration: kau-ké-ké! how big! hare kau-kéké! what a big house! tagata hakari kau-kéké! what a stout man! Vanaga. To bathe, to swim; hakakau, to make to swim. P Pau., Mgv., Mq.: kau, to swim. Ta.: áu, id. Kauhaga, swimming. Churchill. The stem kau does not appear independently in any language of Polynesian proper. For tree and for timber we have the composite lakau in various stages of transformation. But kau will also be found as an initial component of various tree names. It is in Viti that we first find it in free existence. In Melanesia this form is rare. It occurs as kau in Efaté, Sesake, Epi, Nguna, and perhaps may be preserved in Aneityum; as gau in Marina; as au in Motu and somewhere in the Solomon islands. The triplicity of the Efaté forms [kasu, kas, kau] suggests a possible transition. Kasu and kas are easy to be correlated, kasu and kau less easy. They might be linked by the assumption of a parent form kahu, from which each might derive. This would appear in modern Samoan as kau; but I have found it the rule that even the mildest aspirate in Proto-Samoan becoming extinct in modern Samoan is yet retained as aspiration in Nuclear Polynesia and as th in Viti, none of which mutations is found on this record.

... Antares, visible in the morning sky of December-January, came to stand for summer heat; hence the saying, 'Rehua cooks (ripens) all fruit' [hakatupu]. The generally accepted version of the Rehua myth, according to Best, is that Rehua had two wives, the stars on either side of Antares. One was Ruhi-te-rangi or Pekehawani, the personification of summer languor (ruhi), the other Whaka-onge-kai, She-who-makes-food-scarce before the new crops can be harvested ... ... Antares is visible in the sky all night around May 31 of each year, when the star is at opposition to the Sun. At this time, Antares rises at dusk and sets at dawn. For approximately two to three weeks on either side of November 30, Antares is not visible in the night sky, because it is near conjunction with the Sun; this period of invisibility is longer in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere, since the star's declination is significantly south of the celestial equator ... Rerehu, Burning; a Maori name for Antares related to Rehua. Rerehu presided over the sixth month November-December in Stowell's enumeration, while Tregear associated Rerehu with the ninth month, February-March. Rehu is found in the Hawaiian star and month name Welehu, the Tuamotuan Herehu, and in the Rehu, Varehu, and Avarahu of the Society Islands ... Herehu is a Tuamotuan star whose name suggests the Maori Rerehu and Rehua and the Marquesan Ehua, all names for Antares. The Hawaiian equivalent lehu is found in the star name Lehuakona, Lehua-of-the-south. Rehu is seen in such month names a Serehu of Tongareva, Welehu of Hawaii, and Rehu and Varehu of the Society Islands ... Waerehu is listed as a Maori star and was a name for Antares among the Moriori as well as for the month of January. Hu. 1. Breaking of wind. T Mgv., uu, to break wind. Mq., Ta.: hu, id. 2.

... In Hindu tradition, Rahu is a cut-off head of an asura, that swallows the sun or the moon causing eclipses. He is depicted in art as a serpent with no body riding a chariot drawn by eight [8] black horses ... According to legend, during the Samudra manthan, the asura Rahu drank some of the divine nectar. Sun and moon realized it and they alerted Mohini (the female avatar of Vishnu). Before the nectar could pass his throat, Mohini cut off his head. The head, however, remained immortal. It is believed that this immortal head occasionally swallows the sun or the moon, causing eclipses. Then, the sun or moon passes through the opening at the neck, ending the eclipse ...

Reva. To hang down; flag, banner. Revareva, 1.

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.

The place of ξ Columbae coincided with the right ascension line at Betelgeuze, which culminated (at 21h) in January 29, i.e. 10 days after Rigel.

The Winter Hexagon surrounding Betelgeuze is brightly visible in the winter nights north of the equator, while simultaneously south of the equator the hexagon would be harder to see due to the high trajectory of the Sun in summer. Therefore, for people looking up at the stars on Easter Island the Orion constellation would be easier to observe by following the trajectory of the face of the Moon:

... In view of the almost universal prevalence of the Pleiades year throughout the Polynesian area it is surprising to find that in the South Island and certain parts of the North Island of New Zealand and in the neighboring Chatham Islands, the year began with the new Moon after the yearly morning rising, not of the Pleiades, but of the star Rigel in Orion ...

The great moai statues of Easter Island were connected with ure:

... Métraux quotes a Rapa Nui legend in which carvers from Hotu Iti (eastern sector) journeyed to the western sector to seek the advice of a master carver. They were perplexed about how to resolve the difficult problem of carving the statue neck. He advised them to seek the answer by viewing their own bodies. They did so, and discovered that the model for the statue neck was the penis (ure) ...

The rule we have discovered earlier which states that there should be '6 days for loading the canoe' is followed here above too, because then (after St John's Day in June 24) something else was beginning, viz. a 16-day long sequence:

... The Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi once had a dream of being a butterfly flying without care about humanity, however when he woke up and realized it was just a dream, he thought to himself 'Was I before a man who dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I now a butterfly who dreams about being a man?' In some old cultures, butterflies also symbolize rebirth into a new life after being inside a cocoon for a period of time ...

A butterfly (pepe) was natural to think of because of the outline of Orion:

"The dominating constellation [in winter] is Orion whose stars form a recognizable rectangle with the middle occupied by three bright stars in a row. The whole group is reminiscent of a butterfly with wings extended." (Klepešta)

The central part of an insect is its body which is divided into 3 segments.
