he toa
... 'Canne à sucre en fleur' (blooming sugar cane) is the explanation given by Bishop Jaussen (according to Barthel): Die in den Metorogesängen oft vorkommende Benennung der Zeichen 65 bzw. 66 als toa wurde von Jaussen auf das Zuckerrohr bezogen; eine Auffassung, die keine Stütze in den Tafeltexten findet. Berücksichtigt man aber, daß die Metorogesänge phonetisch nicht immer ganz exakt niedergeschrieben wurden, so findet man eine sinnvolle Lösung, wenn man zwischen tôa und to'a underscheidet: Das erste Wort bedeutet Zuckerrohr, das zweite dagegen Feind, Mörder.³ ³) Englert 1948, 503: 'caña de azucar' bzw. 'enemigo; asesino'. Ferner: he to'a o te îka, el que ha dado muerte a una persona'.

The expressions Tonga, Kona, Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the quarter of an island or of the wind, between the south and west, and Tokelau, Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the opposite directions from north to east - expressions universal throughout Polynesia, and but little modified by subsequent local circumstances - point strongly to a former habitat in lands where the regular monsoons prevailed. Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona', contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana', signifies 'the setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau', of which the other forms are merely dialectical variations, signifies 'the cold, chilly sea'. Fornander.

In order to accomodate the Gregorian positions of the stars we have to add 4 right ascension days, which will bring us up to the epoch of rongorongo:

... 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 ...

All this, which in so many ways parallels the normal imagery of the Old World culture-hero myths, telling of the one who is gone, dwells underground in a happy, timeless land, as lord of the realm of the happy dead, like Osiris, but will rise again, we can read without surprise. But what is surprising indeed was the manner of Quetzalcoatl's actual return. The priests and astrologers did not know in what cycle he was to reappear; however, the name of the year within the cycle had been predicted, of old, by Quetzalcoatl himself. Its sign was 'One Reed' (Ce Acatl), which, in the Mexican calendar, is a year that occurs only once in every cycle of fifty-two. But the year when Cortes arrived, with his company of fair-faced companions and his standard, the cross, was precisely the year 'One Reed'. The myth of the dead and resurrected god had circumnavigated the globe ...

... 'Yes, for he was a monstrous thing and fashioned marvelously, nor was he like to any man that lives by bread, but like a wooded peak of the towering hills, which stands out apart and alone from others.' Odysseus, choosing twelve men, the best of the company, left his ships at shore and sallied to the vast cave. It was found stocked abundantly with cheeses, flocks of lambs and kids penned apart, milk pails, bowls of whey; and when the company had entered and was sitting to wait, expecting hospitality, the owner came in, shepherding his flocks. He bore a grievous weight of dry wood, which he cast down with a din inside the cave, so that in fear all fled to hide. Lifting a huge doorstone, such as two and twenty good [maitaki] four-wheeled wains could not have raised from the ground, he set this against the mouth of the cave, sat down, milked his ewes and goats, and beneath each placed her young, after which he kindled a fire and spied his guests ...

And since totora reeds were necessary for travelling upon the sea, ngaatu may well have been chosen at the beginning of the voyage across from Cursa to Rigel as well as for the beginning of the voyage from Betelgeuze across the Milky Way to Gemini.

For the right ascension positions of the Gregorian epoch were evidently corresponding to the ordinal numbers of the items here brought onboard the Royal Ship. Therefore item number 72 for ngaatu in the taro list can also be put in parallel with right ascension position *76 (Cursa) at the time of rongorongo.

Likewise should Betelgeuze (*88) be put in parallel with the first item on the list of 'all sorts of things', because at the time of the Pope Betelgeuze had been at right ascension day *84.

After this realignment (hahara) the new order will put the first ngaatu item at the time when the Explorers left Hiva, viz. in day 115 according to the epoch of Bharani. Indeed, we remember, Hiro (Mercury) was a mighty sailor.

... A marae was made for him in the little house aft of the deck, and the three masts were rigged with ropes and strong mats for sails and long tapa pennants streaming from them ... Within a few days the canoe was loaded with provisions. Great fish baskets were made of bamboo, filled with many kinds of fish, and attached to the outside of the canoe so as to be in the water. Bamboos and gourds were filled with water and stowed away on board, and there were fe'i, bananas, taro, and mahi (fermented breadfruit) in abundance. A bed of sand and stones was made upon the deck, upon which to make a fire for cooking the food, and soon Hiro was ready to go to sea. Hiro was the captain and pilot, and he had other competent seamen, who like him were acquainted with the heavenly bodies and their rising and setting. Women and children also accompanied their husbands and fathers on board, and on one fine day, with a strong favorable wind, they set sail, applauded by many spectators, among whom were prisoners of war (called tîtî), whose shouts were heard above all others. They saw Hiro's great pahi sail out to sea and disappear beyond the horizon, never again to return to Tahitian shores ...
