The kuhane (dream soul) of Hau Maka had hurried back to Hiva (to Maori) after having been at Ahu Akapu (E:11).

... She then hastened her steps toward Ahu Akapu. There she looked again for a residence for the king. Again the dream soul of Hau Maka spoke: 'May the king assemble his people (?) and may he come in the midst of his people from Oromanga to Papa O Pea. When the king of Papa O Pea has assembled his people (?) and has come to this place, he reaches Ahu Akapu. To stay there, to remain (for the rest of his life) at Ahu Akapu, the king will abdicate (?) as soon as he has become an old man.' She named the place 'Ahu Akapu A Hau Maka O Hiva.' The (entire) island she named 'Te Pito O Te Kainga A Hau Maka O Hiva.' The dream soul turned around and hurried back to Hiva, to its (Home)land, to Maori ...

Also the Explorers went to Ahu Akapu (E:30):

... On the twenty-sixth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went from Papa O Pea to Ahu Akapu. They all went and reached Ahu Akapu. They looked around and gave the name 'Ahu Akapu A Hau Maka'. They also saw (all of) Te Pito O Te Kainga, looked around, and gave (the whole island) the name 'Te Pito O Te Kainga A Hau Maka' ...

This place was on the west coast of the island:

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.

... 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 ...

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' ...

Aka. 1. Anchor: he-hoa te aka, to drop anchor. 2. Root of certain plants (banana tree, taro, sugar-cane). 3. To be paralyzed by surprise. Vanaga. 1. Root; aka totoro, to take root. P Pau., Mq.: aka, root. Ta.: aa, id. 2. (āka) anchor. 3. Causative (haka). Churchill.

The Explorers stayed for 2 days in Ahu Akapu and Cb8-6 (→ 48) should therefore correspond to "September 29 when the Full Moon reached Spica.

... 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 ...

Probably the dream soul hurried home because Spica was due to arrive, which was 4 * 29½ = 118 days before the time line up to the South Pole star (Dramasa, σ Octantis). I.e, from σ Virginis to σ Octantis there were *320 - *200 = *80 right ascension days.

Although the dream soul felt compelled to return to Hiva the Explorers continued, and they 'behaved like turtles' - i.e. they went down to the surface of the sea similar to how Crocodiles were doing after having basked in the invigorating rays from the Sun.

... They made camp [he noho] and rested [he hakaora] at Ahu Akapu for two days. On the twenty-ninth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went on to Pu Pakakina. They arrived, remained there, and gave the name 'Pu Pakakina A Ira'. They remained one month in Pu Pakakina ...
