14-6. Let's add the heliacal stars, those which can be fetched from my star list:

Eb5-4 Eb5-5 (154, 480) Eb5-6 Eb5-7 (13 * 12) Eb5-8 Eb5-9 (22 * 22)

22 * 22 = 483 (Eb5-9):

3 * 161 (→ Φ) = 483 → 8 / 6 * 360 + 3 → 360 + 123 (→ Phaistos Disc)

118 (Phaistos Disc) + 365 = 483 = 360 + 123 (Phaistos Disc).

kua oho mai koe maitaki henua ko te Rei koia kua hoi - te toka i haga hia te henua - te kiore

Toka. 1. Any large, smooth rock in the sea not covered by seaweeds (eels are often found between such rocks). 2. To be left (of a small residue of something, of sediments of a liquid, of dregs); to settle (of sediments); ku-toka-ana te vai i raro i te puna, there is little water left at the bottom of the lake; ku-toka-á te oone, the sediments have settled. Tokaga, residue, remainder; firm, stable remainder or part of somthing. Vanaga. A rock under water. P Mgv.: toka, coral. Mq.: toka, a bank where the fishing is good. Ta.: toa, rock, coral. Tokatagi, sorrow T. Churchill.

There were 10 days  from Take to Toka (presumably a play on words):

Here fresh water was needed; Need-water. Because the Full Moon was at the Empty Crater with the Dry Square of the Thirsty Raven (Corvus) not far ahead:

... There was no water in the village. The lakes and rivers were dry. Raven and Crow, two young girls who were having their first menstrual courses, were told to go and draw water from the ocean. Finding the journey too long, Raven decided just to urinate into her basket-bucket. She decieved no one and was severly scolded. Crow returned much later but with drinking water. As a punishment, Raven was condemned never to find water in the summer; only in winter would she find something to drink. For that reason the Raven never drinks during the hot months; she speaks with a raucous voice because of her dry throat ...

... the bird, being sent with a cup for water, loitered at a fig-tree till the fruit became ripe, and then returned to the god with a water-snake in his claws and a lie in his mouth, alleging the snake to have been the cause of the delay. In punishment he was forever fixed in the sky with the Cup and the Snake; and, we may infer, doomed to everlasting thirst by the guardianship of the Hydra over the Cup and its contents. From all this came other poetical names for our Corvus - Avis Ficarius, the Fig Bird; and Emansor, one who stays beyond his time; and a belief, in early folk-lore, that this alone among birds did not carry water to its young ...

Several parallel texts confirm how important this place was.

Here the Sun was at the Woman in Chains, probably illustrating how Mother Nature at this place was not moving at all and acting as if dead.

The star watchers on Easter Island on the other hand would simultaneously have seen the Full Moon at the beginning of the Summer Maid, who was so fully alive as to having taking over command from the Lion:

... Hamiora Pio once spoke as follows to the writer: 'Friend! Let me tell of the offspring of Tangaroa-akiukiu, whose two daughters were Hine-raumati (the Summer Maid - personified form of summer) and Hine-takurua (the Winter Maid - personification of winter), both of whom where taken to wife by the sun ... Now, these women had different homes. Hine-takurua lived with her elder Tangaroa (a sea being - origin and personified form of fish). Her labours were connected with Tangaroa - that is, with fish. Hine-raumati dwelt on land, where she cultivated food products, and attended to the taking of game and forest products, all such things connected with Tane ...

... When this tremendous task had been accomplished Atea took a third husband, Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event. Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we are not told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the [male] eyes of Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west ...
