July 4 is
the 185th day of the year
(186th in leap years) in the
Gregorian calendar. There
are 180 days remaining until
the end of the year. The
Aphelion, the point in the
year when the Earth is
farthest from the Sun,
occurs around this date ...
1776 (= 4
* 444) A.D. was a leap year
and therefore July 4 was not
day 185 but day 186.
... 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]!'

Ishtar appears on the

the two heroes who have
shamed her, but Enkidu
tears out the right
thigh of the Bull of
Heaven and flings it in
her face, amidst brutal
taunts. It seems to be
part of established
procedure in those
circles. Susanowo did
the same to the
sun-goddess Amaterasu,
and so did Odin the Wild
Hunter to the man who
stymied him. A scene of
popular triumph and
rejoicings follows. But
the gods have decided
that Enkidu must die,
and he is warned by a
somber dream after he
falls sick ... |

... 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

at the time of the

ladies with thongs
made from goat-skin
[februa], in
order to promote
their fertility ... |

From the end of the Extended Net in

"August 25 (237) seems to have been
underlined both in the C text and in

1. To (make)

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

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 ... |
However, instead of a period of 45
days beginning at the Girdle of
Andromeda a period of 45 days was
ending here. South of the equator
(on Easter Island) the seasons were
'upside down'.

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
