48 (= 2 * 24)

74 = (392 + 348) / 10 = 740 - 666

Cfr: Sirius, the Dog-star (181) - 107 (Sheratan, the Dog) = 74

There is a 'bun' in position 28 of this calendar, presumably the result of the 'sacrifice' of one of the Roro brothers. 141 / 3 = 47.

At right ascension night 183 (= 136 + 47) there may have been a 'sex' transformation:

... 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 [male] 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 ...

And evidently the rongorongo idiom can express what the ancient Egyptians depicted:

Eb5-35

Eb6-1 (185) Eb6-2
Egyptian bread, (-t, female determinant) Phoenician qoph Greek phi Φ(φ)

... is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet ... Its origin is uncertain but it may be that phi originated as the letter qoppa ... In traditional Greek numerals, phi has a value of 500 or 500000 ...

Isaac Taylor, History of the Alphabet: Semitic Alphabets, Part 1, 2003: 'The old explanation, which has again been revived by Halévy, is that it denotes an 'ape,' the character Q being taken to represent an ape with its tail hanging down. It may also be referred to a Talmudic root which would signify an 'aperture' of some kind, as the 'eye of a needle,' ... Lenormant adopts the more usual explanation that the word means a 'knot' ...

... The king, wearing now a short, stiff archaic mantle, walks in a grave and stately manner to the sanctuary of the wolf-god Upwaut, the 'Opener of the Way', where he anoints the sacred standard and, preceded by this, marches to the palace chapel, into which he disappears. A period of time elapses during which the pharaoh is no longer manifest.

When he reappears he is clothed as in the Narmer palette, wearing the kilt with Hathor belt and bull's tail attatched. In his right hand he holds the flail scepter and in his left, instead of the usual crook of the Good Shepherd, an object resembling a small scroll, called the Will, the House Document, or Secret of the Two Partners, which he exhibits in triumph, proclaiming to all in attendance that it was given him by his dead father Osiris, in the presence of the earth-god Geb. 'I have run', he cries, 'holding the Secret of the Two Partners, the Will that my father has given me before Geb. I have passed through the land and touched the four sides of it. I traverse it as I desire.' ...

Looking from the complementary perspective the translation will be slightly different:

... Ebony label EA 32650 from Den's tomb. The upper right register depicts king Den twice: at the left he is sitting in his Hebsed pavilion, at the right he is running a symbolic race around D-shaped markings. This ceremony is connected to the so-called 'race of the Apis bull'. The middle right section reports about the raid of the city 'beautiful door' and about a daughter of Den suffering from an unknown disease. The lower right section reports about the visitation of the 'souls of Peh' at the royal domain 'Wenet'. The left part of the label describes the content of the vessel that once belonged to the label and mentions the high official Hemaka, who was obviously responsible for the delivery of the labeled jar ...

The oral traditions were more reliable than written documents and we can therefore conclude that the 'high official Hemaka' corresponds to Hau Maka who was sleeping soundly in the old homeland - not a king but an important ancestor:

... Then Ira spoke again: 'How did you name them, last-born [hangupotu]?' Makoi replied, 'This is what happened, this is how I gave the names. I wrote (ta [?]) 'Te Manavai A Hau Maka' on the surface of a banana leaf (kaka), and this is how I left it'. This is how Makoi remembered it. No sooner had he said this, when Ira grew angry and quarreled [he kakai] with Makoi. He said the following (to him): 'You did not pay attention, last-born, and you did not [tae] give the (full) name. This is how it should be [Penei]: the Manavai of Hau Maka of Hiva, in memory (mo aringa ora) of the father, of his dream soul'. Makoi replied, 'In Hiva the land belongs to him - the land here is mine, not his [tae oona]!' [E:21]

Manavai. Hollow where rainwater accumulates; anciently, small, round gardens, preferably situated in low shady spots, where the mahute tree was grown. Vanaga. 1. Brain. 2. Valley, ravine, river, torrent, brook; manavai miro, orchard, Mq.: manavai, valley, brook. Ta.: anavai, river, brook. It scarcely appears that these are fully coordinate. In Tahiti anavai has a clear etymology, ana meaning the bed of a stream. In Rapanui and in the Marquesas mana most readily associates with maga, as water in a forked bed. Churchill.
