Once again. By adopting the star Bharani (*41.4) as a guide when reading Manuscript E and also when reading the rongorongo text on the G tablet it is possible to perceive the meaning of the 3 + 1 set of tao glyphs with a faint 'navel' sign;
We should begin at Spica, where the Chinese had their first station. Gb7-17 → 17 weeks = 119 = 4 * 29½ + 1.
*202 + 80 = 282 (October 9). This corresponded to day 282 - 41 = 241 (= *161 = *202 - *41) according to the epoch of Bharani, i.e. to "August 29 (*161).
241 ("August 29) - 19 = 222 ("August 10) was at heliacal Alchita. *183 - *41 = *142 = 222 - 80.
At the time of Bharani the seed for a new generation (Spica) was seen close to the Full Moon in day 58 (= 2 * 29 → 229 → 584 - 355).

The word refers to the specific manner of cookery which involves the pit oven. The suggestion in the Maori, therefore, does not mean a different method; it is but an attempt more precisely to describe the kitchen method, a very tasty cookery, be it said. The suggestion of boiling is found only in Tahiti, yet in his dictionary Bishop Jaussen does not record it under the word bouillir; boiling was little known to the Polynesians before the European introduction of pottery and other fire-resisting utensils ...
