The dream soul of Hau Maka had moved through the night and reached the 8th land. This suggests she may have arrived to the right ascension line for the 8th hour, i.e. to the region of Cancer:

The first significant star in Cancer was at the Full Moon in Te Maro 8:

Here the C text has a birth (hanau) type of glyph:

... In A Girl Rings her Boyfriend, a woman who wears traditional dress, including a fiber apron and feather headdress, uses a payphone to talk with her boyfriend. Closer examination reveals her polished nails and a bag that looks like a striped bilum but is worn like a Western-style handbag, signs of her boldness that are just as obvious as placing a telephone call to a man. The displayed posture in which she sits, often used to depict female ancestors as images of fecundity and prosperity, seems incongrous, perhaps underscoring Towa's perception of the inappropriateness of her behavior. (The artist Oscar Towa is from Papua New Guinea and the quotation from D'Alleva.)

Her navel ornament counts as 8, the symbol of which identifies where one cycle is meeting another.

... And then the bone spoke; it was there in the fork of the tree: Why do you want a mere bone, a round thing in the branches of a tree? said the head of One Hunaphu when it spoke to the maiden. You don't want it, she was told. I do want it, said the maiden. Very well. Stretch out your right hand here, so I can see it, said the bone. Yes, said the maiden. She stretched out her right hand, up there in front of the bone. And then the bone spit out its saliva, which landed squarely in the hand of the maiden. And then she looked in her hand, she inspected it right away, but the bone's saliva wasn't in her hand. It is just a sign I have given you, my saliva, my spittle. This, my head, has nothing on it - just bone, nothing of meat. It's just the same with the head of a great lord: it's just the flesh that makes his face look good. And when he dies, people get frightened by his bones. After that, his son is like his saliva, his spittle, in his being, whether it be the son of a lord or the son of a craftsman, an orator. The father does not disappear, but goes on being fulfilled. Neither dimmed nor destroyed is the face of a lord, a warrior, craftsman, an orator. Rather, he will leave his daughters and sons. So it is that I have done likewise through you. Now go up there on the face of the earth; you will not die. Keep the word. So be it, said the head of One and Seven Hunaphu - they were of one mind when they did it ...

... Väinämöinen set about building a boat, but when it came to the prow and the stern, he found he needed three words in his rune that he did not know, however he sought for them. In vain he looked on the heads of the swallows, on the necks of the swans, on the backs of the geese, under the tongues of the reindeer. He found a number of words, but not those he needed. Then he thought of seeking them in the realm of Death, Tuonela, but in vain. He escaped back to the world of the living only thanks to his potent magic. He was still missing his three runes. He was then told by a shepherd to search in the mouth of Antero Vipunen, the giant ogre. The road, he was told, went over swords and sharpened axes. Ilmarinen made shoes, shirt and gloves of iron for him, but warned him that he would find the great Vipunen dead. Nevertheless, the hero went. The giant lay underground, and trees grew over his head. Väinämöinen found his way to the giant's mouth, and planted his iron staff in it. The giant awoke and suddenly opened his huge mouth. Väinämöinen slipped into it and was swallowed. As soon as he reached the enormous stomach, he thought of getting out. He built himself a raft and floated on it up and down inside the giant ...

Ura. Ura, lobster. Ûra, flame, blaze (ûra ahi), to become furious (with manava as subject: ku-ûra-á te manava). Úraúra, bright red. Vanaga. 1. Crayfish, lobster, prawn. P Mgv.: ura, crayfish. Mq.: , lobster. Ta.: oura, crayfish, lobster. 2. Fire, burning, to be in flames; uraga, combustion, flame, torch; hakaura, to cause to glow, to kindle, to light. P Mgv., Ta.: ura, a flame, to burn. Mq: , id. Uraga, burden, load, weight. Uraura, vermilion, scarlet. P Pau.: kurakura, red. Mgv.: uraura, an inflamed countenance. Mq.: uáuá, red, ruddy. Ta.: uraura, red. Churchill.

Koura. 1. Fry, spawn, roe. 2. Flea. P Mgv.: ura, crayfish, lobster. Mq.: koua, ua, id. Ta.: oura, id. The preface ko to the stem ula distinguishes the Tongafiti. We therefore assign the word in Rapanui and Tahiti to a Tongafiti source, in Mangareva to a Proto-Samoan source, and Marquesas shows both ... Rapanui is the only language which defines the flea otherwise than in terms of the louse, commonly kutufiti the jumping louse. Pediculus is ancestral in the South Sea, the flea seams to have been contributed by the first of the explorers. Churchill.

In the G text manu kake (the 'climbing' bird) preceded the birth of a new land at a time when the Bright Fire would be close to the Full Moon.

... Lobster said to Flounder: 'Let us-two hide from each other, see who is best at that.' Flounder agreed to play this game. Lobster went to a hole in the coral, hid his body; but his feelers stuck out, he could not hide them. Flounder knew where he was, found him. Said Flounder; 'Now it is my turn.' He stirred up a cloud of mud and scooted into it. Then he returned to Lobster's side, so quietly that Lobster did not know he was there. 'Here I am sir, Lobster!' Lobster was so angry at being beaten that he stamped on the fish and smashed him flat. Cried Flounder; 'Now I've got one eye in the mud!' Therefore Lobster gouged it out for him and roughly stuck it back on top. This is the reason why men tread on the Flounder, but can always see the Lobster's feelers outside his hole ...
