Once again. When the 6 brothers of Roro were killed by the antennae of the Lobster it could have been a reference to Cancer. Cancer seems to have been the established place for 'cooking' - where the spirits were assembling in order to rise like smoke towards the sky:
... the Mangaians of old (Austral Islands, Polynesia), who kept the precessional clock running instead of switching over to 'signs', claim that only at the evening of the solstitial days can spirits enter heaven, the inhabitants of the northern parts of the island at one solstice, the dwellers in the south at the other ... Therefore the guardian spirits Kuihi and Kuaha surely would have known what had happened: ... King Hotu arrived [he tuu te ariki.a Hotu] and asked [he ui], 'How [i aha] were these young men killed [i mamate ai]?' The voices [te reo] of the protective spirits (atua akuaku) of Hotu, namely Kuihi and Kuaha, replied, 'Oroi introduced [hakauru] the long, sharp antennae of the spiny lobster (vaero ura) (into the orifice) and the pulled out the intestines completely [i kumekume mai i te kokoma ki haho] and left them hanging (out).

Crushed between the weight of their bodies were their many children, whose oppression deepened. They yearned to be free; they fought their parents and each other to break loose. Tuumatauenga, virile god of war, thrust and shouted; Tangaroa of the oceans whirled and surged; Tawhirirangimaatea, Haumiatiketike and Rongomatane, of wild foods and cultivated crops, tried their best but were not successful; and Ruamoko, god of earthquakes, yet to be born, struggled in the confinement of his mother's womb ... Of them all, Taane Mahuta [cfr Mahute, Boussonetia papyrifera], the god of the forests, was the most determined; he set his sturdy feet upon his father's chest, and braced his upper back and shoulders against the bosom of his mother.
