MOUTH OF THE

Or maybe to the difference
between 180 and 177
days:
... Väinämöinen set
about building a boat,
but when it came to the
prow and the stern, he
found he needed three
words in his rune that
he did not know, however
he sought for them. In
vain he looked on the
heads of the swallows,
on the necks of the
swans, on the backs of
the geese, under the
tongues of the reindeer.
He found a number of
words, but not those he
needed. Then he thought
of seeking them in the
realm of Death, Tuonela,
but in vain. He escaped
back to the world of the
living only thanks to
his potent magic. He was
still missing his three
runes. He was then told
by a shepherd to search
in the mouth of Antero
Vipunen, the giant ogre.
The road, he was told,
went over swords and
sharpened axes.
Ilmarinen made shoes,
shirt and gloves of iron
[→ Mars] for him, but
warned him that he would
find the great Vipunen
dead. Nevertheless, the
hero went. The giant lay
underground, and trees
grew over his head.
Väinämöinen found his
way to the giant's
mouth, and planted his
iron staff in it. The
giant awoke and suddenly
opened his huge mouth.
Väinämöinen slipped into
it and was swallowed. As
soon as he reached the
enormous stomach, he
thought of getting out.
He built himself a raft
and floated on it up and
down inside the giant.
The giant felt tickled
and told him in many and
no uncertain words where
he might go, but he did
not yield any runes.
Then Väinämöinen built a
smithy and began to
hammer his iron on an
anvil, torturing the
entrails of Vipunen, who
howled out magic songs
to curse him away. But
Väinämöinen said, thank
you, he was very
comfortable and would
not go unless he got the
secret words. Then
Vipunen at last unlocked
the treasure of his
powerful runes. Many
days and nights he sang,
and the sun and the moon
and the waves of the sea
and the waterfalls stood
still to hear him.
Väinämöinen treasured
them all and finally
agreed to come out.
Vipunen opened his great
jaws, and the hero
issued forth to go and
build his boat at last
...
Or it could have
referred to the
difference between the
Julian and the Gregorian
days for spring equinox: *84 - *80 = *4.
However, this phenomenon should
rather have been
described by the pair of
nehenehe, with
one of them having
moved 4 places earlier
in the year.
Nahe.
Ta.:
Angiopteris erecta
[maybe evecta?:
'Mule's-foot Fern'].
Sa.: nase, the
giant fern. Churchill.
Bishop Jaussen:
crustacé. Barthel. In
Jamaica the species
Angiopteris
evecta ['Mule's-foot
Fern'] is widely
naturalized and is
registered as an
invasive species. The
plant was introduced by
Captain Bligh from
Tahiti as a staple food
for slaves and
cultivated in the
Castleton Gardens in
1860. From there it was
able to distribute
itself throughout the
eastern half of the
island. Wikipedia. ... I
remember from somewhere
in Heyerdahl's books
that he considered it
significant that
neke-neke was a
special word in the
vocabulary of Easter
Island, it meant
'walking without legs,
walking by moving the
weight this side and
that slowly advancing
forward'. He had
discovered
the
word when he asked how
the statues had been
moved - they walked (neke-neke)
was the answer ...
Te Kioe Uri
(*81 - *93) |
Te
Piringa
Aniva (*94 -
*106) |
... The cult
place of
Vinapu
is located
between the
fifth and
sixth
segment of
the dream
voyage of
Hau Maka.
These
segments,
named 'Te
Kioe Uri'
(inland from
Vinapu)
and 'Te
Piringa
Aniva'
(near
Hanga Pau
Kura)
flank
Vinapu
from both
the west and
the east.
The decoded
meaning of
the names
'the dark
rat' (i.e.,
the island
king as the
recipient of
gifts) and
'the
gathering
place of the
island
population'
(for the
purpose of
presenting
the island
king with
gifts) links
them with
the month 'Maro',
which is
June. Thus
the last
month of the
Easter
Island year
is twice
connected
with
Vinapu.
Also, June
is the month
of summer
solstice [a
mistake:
south of the
equator it
is winter
solstice],
which again
points to
the
possibility
that the
Vinapu
complex was
used for
astronomical
purposes

Rigveda
9.73.3 says
that the
Great Varuna
has hidden
the ocean.
The
Mahabharata
tells in its
own style
why the
'heavenly
Ganga' had
to be
brought
down. At the
end of the
Golden Age (Krita
Yuga) a
class of
Asura
who had
fought
against the
'gods' hid
themselves
in the ocean
where the
gods could
not reach
them, and
planned to
overthrow
the
government.
So the gods
implored
Agastya
(Canopus,
alpha
Carinae =
Eridu) for
help. The
great Rishi
did as he
was bidden,
drank up the
water of the
ocean, and
thus laid
bare the
enemies, who
were then
slain by the
gods. But
now, there
was no ocean
anymore!
Implored by
the gods to
fill the sea
again, the
Holy One
replied:
'That water
in sooth
hath been
digested by
me. Some
other
expedient,
therefore,
must be
thought of
by you, if
ye desire to
make
endeavour to
fill the
ocean ...

... As has
already been
mentioned,
the
Delphians
worshipped
Dionysus
once a year
as the
new-born
child,
Liknites,
'the Child
in the
Harvest
Basket',
which was a
shovel-shaped
basket of
rush and
osier used
as a harvest
basket, a
cradle, a
manger, and
a
winnowing-fan
for tossing
the grain up
into the air
against the
wind, to
separate it
from the
chaff. The
worship of
the Divine
Child was
established
in Minoan
Crete, its
most famous
early home
in Europe.
In 1903, on
the site of
the temple
of Dictaean
Zeues - the
Zeus who was
yearly born
in Rhea's
cave at
Dicte near
Cnossos,
where
Pythagoras
spent
'thrice nine
hallowed
days' [27]
of his
initiation -
was found a
Greek hymn
which seems
to preserve
the original
Minoan
formula in
which the
gypsum-powdered,
sword-dancing
Curetes, or
tutors,
saluted the
Child at his
birthday
feast. In it
he is hailed
as 'the
Cronian one'
who comes
yearly to
Dicte
mounted on a
sow and
escorted by
a
spirit-throng,
and begged
for peace
and plenty
as a reward
for their
joyful leaps

The close
link in thought between
on one hand he hahara rapanui
(presumably expressing how they
on Easter Island used day
79 instead of day 80)
and on the other hand the difference
between 84 (Julian
equinox) and 80
(Gregorian equinox)
could have made
the creators of
Manuscript E decide to
refer to day 96 (= 80 +
16) as another type of
hahara (because
84 + 16 = 100).
...
So the shift in the date
of the equinox that
occurred between the 4th
and the 16th centuries
was annulled with the
Gregorian calendar, but
nothing was done for the
first four centuries of
the Julian calendar. The
days of 29 February of
the years AD 100, AD
200, AD 300, and the day
created by the irregular
application of leap
years between the
assassination of Caesar
and the decree of
Augustus re-arranging
the calendar in AD 8,
remained in effect. This
moved the equinox four
days earlier than in
Caesar's time ...
This 'misalignment' would
have been repaired by
the precession since the
time of the Pope. °June
19 (*90) at Furud had
moved to June 19 (*94).
...
They go inland at the
land. The child nursed
and tended grows up, is
able to go and play.
Each day he now goes off
a bit further away,
moving some distance
away from the house, and
then returns to their
house. So it goes on and
the child is fully grown
and goes to play far
away from the place
where they live. He goes
over to where some work
is being done by a
father and son.
Likāvaka is the name
of the father - a
canoe-builder, while his
son is Kiukava.
Taetagaloa goes
right over there and
steps forward to the
stern of the canoe
saying - his words are
these: 'The canoe is
crooked.' (kalo ki
ama). Instantly
Likāvaka is enraged
at the words of the
child. Likāvaka
says: 'Who the hell are
you to come and tell me
that the canoe is
crooked?' Taetagaloa
replies: 'Come and stand
over here and see that
the canoe is crooked.'
Likāvaka goes
over and stands right at
the place Taetagaloa
told him to at the stern
of the canoe. Looking
forward, Taetagaloa
is right, the canoe is
crooked. He slices
through all the lashings
of the canoe to
straighten the timbers.
He realigns the timbers.
First he must again
position the supports,
then place the timbers
correctly in them, but
Kuikava the son
of Likāvaka goes
over and stands upon one
support. His father
Likāvaka rushes
right over and strikes
his son Kuikava
with his adze. Thus
Kuikava dies.
Taetagaloa goes over
at once and brings the
son of Likāvaka,
Kuikava, back to
life. Then he again
aligns the supports
correctly and helps
Likāvaka in building
the canoe. Working
working it is finished
...
