Once again. Beyond Oromanga they stayed (he noho) for 5 days (erima raa) in Papa O Pea:

 ... he noho erima raa i papa o pea ... (E:30)

Possibly Manuscript E did not say he noho he hakaora i papa o pea in order to draw the reader's attention - for here one day was missing (not 'alive').

Ind.-Eur., i. 474) refers the Greek κορωνη, a crow, a jackdaw, to the Sanskrit ran. Perhaps the Swedish röna, to be aware of, to experience, apprendre, goes back to the Polynesian lono or the Sanskrit ran. Fornander. Rogorogo: Originally, 'orators, bards' of Mangareva. Borrowed into the Rapanui language in 1871, it came to generically signify the wooden tablets incised with glyphs, the writing system itself, and the respective inscriptions.

Pea. (Also peapea): To go away with bits of food or mud sticking to one's face or garments. Vanaga. Peaha, perhaps ... maybe, chance, doubtful; reoreo peaha ...  Ma.: pea, perhaps. Peapea, an erasure ...  hakapeapea ...  Peau, to sweep all away. Ma.: peau, to be turned away. Churchill. Peau, a wave (Sa., To., Fu., Fotuna, Niuē, Mq., Nuguria); Mgv.: peau, peahu, id.

... But in the fullness of time an obscure instinct led the eldest of them towards the anthill which had been occupied by the Nummo. He wore on his head a head-dress and to protect him from the sun, the wooden bowl he used for his food. He put his two feet into the opening of the anthill, that is of the earth's womb, and sank in slowly as if for a parturition a tergo. The whole of him thus entered into the earth, and his head itself disappeared. But he left on the ground, as evidence of his passage into that world, the bowl which had caught on the edges of the opening. All that remained on the anthill was the round wooden bowl, still bearing traces of the food and the finger-prints of its vanished owner, symbol of his body and of his human nature, as, in the animal world, is the skin which a reptile has shed ...

... At the beginning of 44 B.C. - when Ceasar was still alive - the Senate decided to raise statues of him in all the temples and to sacrifice to him on his birthday in the month Quintilis, which in honour of him was renamed July. He was raised to the status of a god (among the other gods of the state) under the name Jupiter Julius. Marcus Antonius, who this year was consul together with Caesar, became high priest and responsible for the ceremonies. In the middle of February, at the time of the old feast of Lupercalia [Lupus = Wolf], he ran around naked and whipped the Roman ladies with thongs made from goat-skin [februa], in order to promote their fertility ...

Here the C text demonstrates 2 Suns (hetu'u erua):

Hetu erua tagata rere ki te ragi

Hetu 1. To (make) sound; figuratively: famous, renowned. 2. To crumble into embers (of a bonfire). Hetu'u. Star, planet; hetu'u popohaga morning star; hetu'u ahiahi evening star; hetu'u viri meteorite. Vanaga  Hetu 1. Star (heetuu); hetu rere, meteor; hetu pupura, planet. P Pau.: hetu, star. Mgv.: etu, id. Mq.: fetu, hetu, id. Ta.: fetu, fetia, id. The alternative form fetia in Tahiti, now the only one in common use, need not be regarded as an anomaly in mutation. It seems to derive from Paumotu fetika, a planet. Its introduction into Tahiti is due to the fashion of accepting Paumotu vocables which arose when the house of Pomare came into power. 2. Capital letter (? he tu). 3. To amuse. 4. To stamp the feet. Hetuhetu, to calk, to strike the water. Hetuke, sea urchin. Churchill.

... Apami-Atsa ('Child of Waters', θ Virginis) at 13h maybe should be contrasted with Apam Napat ('Grandson of Waters') ... θ is on the front of the garment, below the girdle ... Moderns have no name for it, but in the Surya Siddhanta it was Apami-Atsa, the Child of the Waters ... Apam Napat is an eminent figure of the Indo-Iranian pantheon. In Hinduism, Apām Napāt is the god of fresh water, such as in rivers and lakes. In Zoroastrianism, Apąm Napāt is also a divinity of water ... Apām Napāt in Sanskrit and Apąm Napāt in Avestan mean 'grandson of waters' ... Sanskrit and Avestan napāt ('grandson') are cognate to Latin nepōs and English nephew, but the name Apām Napāt has also been compared to Etruscan Nethuns and Celtic Nechtan and Roman Neptune. In Yasht 19 of the Avesta Apąm Napāt appears as the Creator of mankind. Here, there is an evident link between the glory of sovereignty (Khvarenah) and Apąm Napāt who protects Khvarenah as the royal glory of Iranian kings. Apām Napāt is sometimes, for example in Rigveda book 2 hymn 35 verse 3, described as a fire-god who originates in water ... The reference to fire may have originally referred to flames from natural gas or oil seepages surfacing through water, as in a fire temple at Surakhany near Baku in Azerbaijan ... There is a conjecture that the word 'naphtha' came (via Greek, where it meant any sort of petroleum) from the name 'Apampat' ...

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ...

On Easter Island the month of February was named Te-hetu'u-pú and maybe this could have motivated hetu erua half a year later, when the Full Moon had reached this place among the stars.

... The ancient names of the month were: Tua haro, Tehetu'upú, Tarahao, Vaitu nui, Vaitu poru [potu?], He Maro, He Anakena, Hora iti, Hora nui, Tagaroa uri, Ko Ruti, Ko Koró ...

Hora. Ancient name of summer (toga-hora, winter summer). Vanaga. 1. In haste (horahorau). 2. Summer, April; hora nui, March; vaha hora, spring. 3. 'Hour', 'watch'. 4. Pau.: hora, salted, briny.

Ta.: hohora, to open, to display; hora, to extend the hand in giving it. Churchill.

Horau. 1. In haste, on the point of; horau hitihiti, daybreak; horau mai, to run to, to bring, to appear; horau marama no iti, daybreak. Horauhorau, immeditely, sooner, forthwith; active, diligent, fecund, generous, unexpected, sudden, pressing, prompt, rapid, swift, speedy, all at once; to go boldly, to appear suddenly, to be precipitate, to press on, to grow rapidly; haga horhorau, to slight; tae horahorau, to be arrested in growth. Horahoraukina, agile. Horauhorau, brief, to continue. Horarau, to run. (P Pau.: horo, to flee, to run. Mq.: hoó, to go quickly, prompt, brisk, to run, to make haste. Ta.: horo, to run; horohoro, activity, quickly. The conduplication horahorau militates against this identification.) 2. Pau.: horau, a shed. Ta.: farau, id. Sa.: afolau, a common house.

According to Manuscript E the Explorers went from Papa O Pea to Ahu Akapu in "August 26:

 ... he noho erima raa i papa o pea.i te rua te angahuru maono o te raa o hora iti i oho mai ai mai papa o pea ...

This was the day when the Girdle of Andromeda was reached by the Sun and when Regulus culminated (at 21h). This was the day when the right ascension line at Sirrah (The Navel of the Horse, α Andromedae) returned to visibility in the early morning, after having been too close to the Sun to observe.

At this time of the year the Full Moon was at the opposite side between θ and σ in Virgo:

Egyptian nfr Phoenician teth Greek theta Θ (θ)

... The form of the letter θ suggests a midline ('waist'), although the origin of θ is the Phoenician tēth which means 'wheel'. This in turn could have originated from a glyph named 'good' which in Egypt was nfr ...

... θ is the last star in the Ara constellation, and the ancient meaning of this letter was described as a wheel by the Phoenicians but for the Egyptian it meant 'good'. When the wheel of time has come full cycle around and the upside down fire-altar is in the past the times ahead should be good (or lucky Sa'ad) ...

According to Wilkinson nefer originally depicted the throat and heart of a sheep:

Egyptian tusk Phoenician shin Greek sigma Σ (σ, ς)

Wikipedia: Shin (also spelled Šin (šīn) or Sheen) literally means 'teeth, 'press', and 'sharp' ...

The symbol Σ is currently used as an expression for 'sum'. The Phoenician shin is oriented in another way, similar to how Cassiopeia is read in the night when in a low position - as Celestial W when below the pole, in contrast to the Celestial M when above it.

Greek sigma therefore resembles Cassiopeia in between, when she was in the west at the time when the Sun was rising in the east.

... In China, every year about the beginning of April, certain officials called Sz'hüen used of old to go about the country armed with wooden clappers. Their business was to summon the people and command them to put out every fire. This was the beginning of the season called Han-shih-tsieh, or 'eating of cold food'. For three days all household fires remained extinct as a preparation for the solemn renewal of the fire, which took place on the fifth or sixth day after the winter solstice [Sic!] ...
