14-4. According to the Mayas Itzam-Yeh (Ursa Major) was defeated in 28 May in the year 3149 BC. This ought to have shifted the structure of the Gregorian calendar ahead (as perceived against the fixed star positions) with around (1842 + 3149) / 26000 * 365¼ = 70 days or 10 weeks (→ 420 - 350). 28 May (144) should therefore correspond to day 144 + 70 = 214 (August 2).

... The Hawaiian woman who was interviewed chuckled because the assassination of Captain Cook coincided with the day we have named All Hearts' Day - viz. when in February 14 (2-14) the war-god Kuu returned to power ...

But, as we know, August 14 (8-14) was day 226 (= 45 + 181) = 214 (August 2) + 12:

Rere. To jump; to run; to fly. Rere-taúra, to carry a child astride on one's shoulder: ku rere-taúra-á i te poki e te matu'a ki te gao, the mother carries her child astride her neck. Vanaga. 1. To fly, to run, to leap, to scale, to be carried away by the wind; ika rere, flying fish; rere aruga, to rebound; hetuu rere, meteor, flying star. Hakarere, to leap. P Pau.: rere, to soar, to fly; fakarere, to precede. Mgv., Ta.: rere, to fly, to leap. 2. To come, to reach to. Mq.: éé mai, to come. 3. To swerve, to deviate. (4. Hakarere, to cease, desist, postpone, quit, vacation; tae hakarere, perseverance. Mq.: rere, to disappear. 5. Hakarere, to save, preserve, put, place, reserve, burden, destine. 6. Hakarere, to abandon, forsake, give up, depose, expose, leave, omit, abjure, repudiate; hakarere ki te hau, uncover the head; hakarere ki te vie, to divorce, hakarere ki raro, to put down, tooa te kiko e ivi i hakarere, to strip off the flesh. Mq.: éé, to run away, to escape. 7. Hakarere? Ikapotu hakarere, to abut, to adjoin; e tahi hakarere, synonym.) Churchill. Vi.: Lele, the end of a branch farthest from the body of a tree; leletha, to bend a branch in order to gather the fruit on it. Churchill 2. In the present phase of Polynesian lele so much means to fly that the plainest way of particularizing birds is to describe them as the flying animals, manulele. But to manifest that flight, an exercise or balancing of wings, was by no means the primordial sense, for how could that give rise to a description of water in the water-courses? It will be no end to mass the several significations which lele exhibits ... Flight of birds ... Wind drive ... Meteors ... To leap ... To run ... Flow of water ... To swim ... To sail ... These several activities are exercised in earth, air, and water. The common factor is the swift motion. The means of motion cut no figure. It is an invisible means in the driving of the wind, the flash of the meteor silent athwart the sky on its lethal errand, the slip and slide of the stream in its deep course, the set of the sea, the gliding of the canoe upon its surface. Churchill 2.

Atu. Particle of meaning opposite to that of mai; it refers to the second or third person, expressing movement away: ka-avai-atu, give it to him: he-oho-atu au, I am going there, after you; i-oho-atu-era, when I had gone there. Vanaga. 1. a. Directive, of motion from the speaker. b. Somewhat expressive of the comparative degree. 2. Pupil; hakaatu, proof; hare hakaatuga, schoolhouse, class. 3. (hakaatu), to presage. 4. (hakaatu), mark, object. Churchill.

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

Could the First 3-stone (tau-toru) Place refer to the string (tui) of stars ('stones') between γ and λ (→ γ inverted)?

Possibly this means we should somehow manipulate the dates to make them fit. For instance could we add 16 to August 2 (214) in order to reach August 18 (230). On Hawaii the ideal day for Breaking of the Coconut was 3 months later in November 18, and when one of the Sun's cardinal points was changed all the rest of them had to follow suit.

Then we could change from the Gregorian 0h at day 80 to the Julian spring equinox in day 84, in which case also the other cardinal dates should be correspondingly adjusted with 4 days. The distance 230 days would therefore shrink to 230 - 4 = 226 (*146) → 2 / 5 * 365.

With Itzam-Yeh identified (by the Mayas) as Ursa Major we could then contemplate how the Full Moon at  JULY 1 (*166, August 3) might fit into the framework of this great cosmic puzzle:

... On the late afternoon of the June solstice, towards sunset, we reached Ahu Akivi near the centre of the western side of Easter Island. This is an inland site, 3 kilometers from the coast. Like Ahu Nau Nau at Anakena, it has seven Moai, but in this case none of them have topknots and, uniquely, all face west towards the sea - which is clearly visible from the high point on which they stand. There is a curious tradition concerning these grizzled, otherworldly statues, solemn and powerful, with their blank, aloof eye-sockets gazing out over the limitless ocean. Like most of the other Moai of Easter Island the local belief is that they died, long ago, at the time when mana - magic - supposedly fled from the island never to return. However, in common with only a very few of the other Moai, it is believed that these particular statues still have the power, twice a year, to transform themselves into aringa ora - literally 'living faces' - a concept startingly similar to the ancient Egyptian notion that statues became 'living images' (sheshep ankh) after undergoing the ceremony of the 'opening of the mouth and the eyes' ...

Hiri 1. To braid, plait, tress (hair, threads). 2. To rise in coils (of smoke). 3. To hover (of birds). Vanaga. 1. To elevate, to mount. Hiriga, to elevate; elevation, mounted, ascension, assumption, declivity; hiriga mouga, hillside. Hirihiri, a swing, seesaw. P. Pau.: iri, to be put up in a place, to lodge. Mgv.: iri, placed in a higher position than the observer, as a box on a high shelf. Ta.: iri, to lodge or stick up in a place. The germ signification is 'above, higher'. In Samoa it is used most commonly in a tropical sense, but the primal sense is sufficiently retained in the signification to lodge, to stick in, to show general concord with Rapanui and particular harmony with the other languages of Southeast Polynesia. 2. To make a bag; taura hiri, to make a cord; rauoho hiri, plaited hair; hirihiri, frizzed; rauoho hirihiri, lock of hair. P Mgv.: hiri, wo weave, to plait; akahiri, to make a mat. Mq.: hii, large plait of coconut fiber. Ta.: firi, to plait, to braid. When we interpret in the sense of local conditions Père Roussel's definition 'to make a bag' the concord is perfect, for bags are woven. The germ sense is plainly the act of twining in and out, over and under, which, with specific differences due to manner and material, may result in plaiting or weaving; see hiro. 3. To go, to walk, to voyage, to arrive, to appear; hiri tê reka, to go without noise; hiri koroiti, to go softly; hiri tahaga no mai, to go without a halt. Hiriga, voyage, journey; hiriga hakapa, to go by twos; hiriga hipa, to go obliquely; hiriga kokekoke, to go by sudden steps; hiriga okorua, to go by twos; hiriga tahataha to go across; hiriga tekiteki, to go on hopping; hiriga tê mataku, to go on fearlessly; hiriga totoro, to go on all fours; hiriga varikapau; to go in a ring; hiriga veveveve, to go boldly. Churchill. Pau.: Hirinaki. 1. To incline, to slope. Ta.: hirinai, to rest upon. Ma.: irinaki, to rest upon. 2. To be apprehensive. Ta.: hirinai, to apprehend. Churchill. Mgv.: Aka-hiria, to enquire after. Sa.: sili, to ask, to demand. Hirihiri, to fish for turtle. Mq.: fiifiii, a small net for taking turtle. Churchill.

Take. The Marquesans are the only people who own to a distinctive national name, and retain a tradition of the road they travelled from their original habitat, until they arrived at the Marquesan Islands. They call themselves te Take, 'the Take nation'. Fornander. Take, Tuvaluan for the Black Noddy (Anous Minutes). The specific epithet taketake is Māori for long established, ancient, or original. In the Rapa Nui mythology, the deity Make-make was the chief god of the birdman cult, the other three gods associated with it being Hawa-tuu-take-take (the Chief of the eggs) his wife Vie Hoa and Vie Kanatea.

We must remember that when the current Sun positions were reflected in the nakshatra Sooty Face of the Full Moon it gave the Easter Islanders a Sooty Mirror image of where the months north of the equator were according to the months south of the equator:

... The Sun and the Moon were siblings - a brother and a sister - without parents. Siqiniq (the Sun) was staying all alone in an igloo. The camp would hold festivities in the qaggiq. One day, as usual, they started to hold a qaggiq early in evening when it was dark. Someone rushed into Siqiniq's igloo and blew out her qulliq at the same time. She was then pinned down and molested. This happened a number of times and Siqiniq was unable to find out who her attacker was. Her cooking pot always hung over her qulliq. When her attacker came again, she reached out and tried to touch the pot but her lamp was out and it was completely dark. Finally she managed to touch the pot. She then wiped her sooty hands on the face of her aggressor. After she had been molested once again the aggressor left her igloo. She followed him to see where he would go, hoping to finally find out who he was. She saw him going to the qaggiq where the festivities were being held. As she neared it she could hear people laughing. Someone was saying: 'Taqqiq inutuarsiurasumut aasit naatavinaaluk'. - Taqqiq (the Moon) has been marked with soot as he has again been looking for someone who might have been alone ...

... The Aztecs saw a good husband like a burning torch leaving no smoke. Such a requirement cannot go hand in hand with a fire which is burning on fresh boughs. The wood must be dry. The 'smoking mirror', Tezcatlipoca, is the opposite of Quetzalcoatl, the blue-green quetzal serpent ...

... Yesterday I learned from watching TV that Popocatepetl, the active volcano close to Mexico City, means the 'smoking mountain', i.e. the Aztecan popoca means smoking. I take this as one more example of how closely some key Polynesian ideas are related to similar ones in other languages. Tezcatlipoca ('the Smoking Mirror') was the 'tanist' of Quetzalcoatl. When you pour water on a fire smoke is produced ...

... Manu-tera, the Easter Island name for the Sooty Tern, means literally 'sunbird'. From this we take it as a very likely, though there is no proof, that the tern would have been seen as a symbol of the sun - just as the falcon and the phoenix were symbols of the sun in acient Egypt ...

... Skulls with incised carvings, imbued with power by Makemake, were placed in the fowl house to promote the egg-laying capacity of the occupants. It may seem a long call from the domestic fowl to the sooty tern, but both are birds and lay eggs. The sooty tern (manu tara) comes to breed in large numbers in July or August off the southwestern point formed by the crater of Rano-kao on three rocky islets, of which the only one accessible to swimmers is Motu-nui ...

If, for example, the Full Moon was seen at the beginning of the Square in Ursa Major, then it meant the other end of the Trunk must be with the Sun at the beginning of the Pegasus Square, which north of the equator meant spring was ahead. Thus the Square in Ursa Major, when observed at the Full Moon, would correspond to half a year away in the Sun circuit around the year, viz. where south of the equator spring was ahead.
