Ti and kape were mentioned separately - presumably opposites and complementary to each other. Whereas the ti roots were brought onboard the Royal Double Canoe kape was not:

... (There were) five hundred baskets of banana shoots, a thousand baskets of taro, fifty bundles of long ti roots, and ten baskets of little kape seedlings [500 + 1000 + 50 + 10 = 26 * 60]. They tied up the baskets carefully, and Oti said to his assistants, 'Take all the baskets [ka mau tahi te taropa] on board the canoe [ki runga ki te miro], as well as [tokoa] the hundreds of [?] ti roots!' The men picked up the baskets and brought them on board the canoe. They arrived and left them there [he tuu he hakarere]. [E:68-69]

... 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 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 ...

Kape. 'Bitter-taro' (Alocasia macrorrhiza). In 1957 kape was still cultivated in much the same way as dry taro. It is a type of food to be eaten during times of famine. According to Fuentes (1960:856), the tubers had to be kept in the earth-oven for 15 (sic) days in order to eliminate some of the poisonous components. Barthel 2. Arum, yam. Churchill.

Tangaroa Uri 30

... It is known that in the final battle of the gods, the massed legions on the side of 'order' are the dead warriors, the 'Einherier' who once fell in combat on earth and who have been transferred by the Valkyries to reside with Odin in Valhalla - a theme much rehearsed in heroic poetry. On the last day, they issue forth to battle in martial array. Says Grimnismal (23): 'Five hundred gates and forty more - are in the mighty building of Walhalla - eight hundred 'Einherier' come out of each one gate - on the time they go out on defence against the Wolf.' That makes 432,000 in all, a number of significance from of old. This number must have had a very ancient meaning, for it is also the number of syllables in the Rigveda. But it goes back to the basic figure 10,800, the number of stanzas in the Rigveda (40 syllables to a stanza) [40 * 270 = 10800] which, together with 108, occurs insistently in Indian tradition, 10,800 is also the number which has been given by Heraclitus for the duration of the Aiōn, according to Censorinus (De die natali, 18), whereas Berossos made the Babylonian Great Year to last 432,000 years. Again, 10,800 is the number of bricks of the Indian fire-altar (Agnicayana). 'To quibble away such a coincidence', remarks Schröder, 'or to ascribe it to chance, is in my opinion to drive skepticism beyond its limits.' ...

... In the islands of Bali and Lombok, when the time of harvest has come, the owner of the field himself makes a beginning by cutting 'the principal rice' with his own hands and binding it into two sheaves, each composed of one hundred and eight stalks with their leaves attatched to them. One of the sheaves represents a man and the other a woman, and they are called 'husband and wife'. The male sheaf is wound about with thread so that none of the leaves are visible, whereas the female sheaf has its leaves bent over and tied so as to resemble the roll of a woman's hair. Sometimes, for further distinction, a necklace of rice-straw is tied round the female sheaf. When the rice is brought home from the field, the two sheaves representing the husband and wife are carried by a woman on her head, and are the last of all to be deposited in the barn. There they are laid to rest on a small erection or on a cushion of rice-straw. The whole arrangement, we are informed, has for its object to induce the rice to increase and multiply in the granary, so that the owner may get more out of it than he puts in. Hence when the people of Bali bring the two sheaves, the husband and wife, into the barn, they say, 'Increase ye and multiply without ceasing' ...
