more than one word is confounded in alo.
The significations which appear in Southeast
Polynesia are most likely derived from a
Tongafiti alo and do not appear in
Nuclear Polynesia. The alo belly and
alo chief which do occur in Nuclear
Polynesia are also probably Tongafiti, for in
Samoa and Tonga they are honorific and applied
only to folk of rank, a good indication of
borrowing by the Proto-Samoans from Tongafiti
masters. Churchill. In the Hawaiian group, the
western portion or side of an island was called
'the front', ke alo, of the land, and the
eastern side was called 'the back', ke kua.
The reason of such designations must be sought
in the fact of the arrival of the inhabitants
from the west. Fornander. Huri. 1. To

... '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
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 ...

... 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

was the answer ...

... The
earliest depiction that has been linked to
the constellation of Orion is a prehistoric
(Aurignacian) mammoth ivory carving found in
a cave in the Ach valley in Germany in 1979.
Archaeologists have estimated it to have
been fashioned approximately 32,000 to
38,000 years ago ... The artist cut,
smoothed and carved one side (A)
and finely notched the other side (B)
and the edges. Side A contains the
half-relief of an anthropoidal figure,
either human or a human-feline hybrid, known
as the 'adorant' because its arms are raised
as if in an act of worship.

(ε) |
|
Wikipedia points
at the Egyptian gesture with
arms held high as a Sign of
jubilation, which may have been
the origin (via Phoenician he)
of epsilon.
 |
On side B together with the four
edges is a series of notches that are
clearly set in an intentional pattern. The
edges contain a total of 39 notches in
groups of 6, 13, 7 and 13. A further 49
notches on side B are arranged in
four vertical lines of 13, 10, 12 and 13
respectively plus a further notch that could
be in either of the middle two lines ... The
grouping of the notches on the plate
suggests a time-related sequence. The total
number of notches (88) not only coincides
with the number of days in 3 lunations
(88.5) but also approximately with the
number of days when the star Betelgeuse (α
Ori) disappeared from view each year between
its heliacal set (about 14 days before the
spring equinox around 33,000 BP) and its
heliacal rise (approximately 19 days before
the summer solstice). Conversely, the
nine-month period when Orion was visible in
the sky approximately matched the duration
of human pregnancy, and the timing of the
heliacal rise in early summer would have
facilitated a ‘rule of thumb’ whereby, by
timing conception close to the reappearance
of the constellation, it could be ensured
that a birth would take place after the
severe winter half-year, but leaving enough
time for sufficient nutrition of the baby
before the beginning of the next winter.
There is a resemblance between the
anthropoid on side A and the constellation
Orion. None of these factors is convincing
when taken in isolation, because of the high
probability that apparently significant
structural and numerical coincidences might
have arisen fortuitously. However, taken
together they suggest that the anthropoid
represented an asterism equivalent to
today’s constellation of Orion, and that the
ivory plate as a whole related to a system
of time reckoning linked to the moon and to
human pregnancy. If so, then ethnographic
comparisons would suggest that the
Geißenklösterle culture related their
‘anthropoid’ asterism to perceived cycles of
cosmic power and fertility ... |

The Pythagoreans make Phaeton
fall into Eridanus, burning part of its
water, and glowing still at the time
when the Argonauts passed by. Ovid
stated that since the fall the Nile
hides its sources. 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 ... |
