Raparenga turned over [he avai] the treasure (raakau) of [o] Ira.

They went on land [he tomo ki uta], sat down, stretched out [he papa], and dried [he tauaki] in the sun.

Then they all went back again [he hoki hokoou anake] and arrived (out there), and once again they all rode on the waves toward the beach. Again and again (they did this).

They went on land, turned around, and climbed up together to the cave Pu Pakakina. There they stayed.

... There is a couple residing in one place named Kui [Tui] and Fakataka [Hakataka]. After the couple stay together for a while Fakataka is pregnant. So they go away because they wish to go to another place - they go. The canoe goes and goes, the wind roars, the sea churns, the canoe sinks. Kui expires while Fakataka swims. Fakataka swims and swims, reaching another land. She goes there and stays on the upraised reef in the freshwater pools on the reef, and there delivers her child, a boy child. She gives him the name Taetagaloa. When the baby is born a golden plover flies over and alights upon the reef. (Kua fanau lā te pepe kae lele mai te tuli oi tū mai i te papa).

Churchill. Splendor; a name applied in the Society Islands to ten conspicious stars which served as pillars of the sky. Ana appears to be related to the Tuamotuan ngana-ia, 'the heavens'. Henry translates ana as aster, star. The Tahitian conception of the sky as resting on ten star pillars is unique and is doubtless connected with their cosmos of ten heavens. The Hawaiians placed a pillar (kukulu) at the four corners of the earth after Egyptian fashion; while the Maori and Moriori considered a single great central pillar as sufficient to hold up the heavens. It may be recalled that the Moriori Sky-propper built up a single pillar by placing ten posts one on top of the other. Makemson.

The Mangarevan composite means 'to beat until holes appear', which is a distinctive character of the beaten bast of the paper mulberry in the condition in which it is ready for employment in making tapa. Churchill.

Lat., fui, futurus, futus, spuo, spuma. Benfey as well as Liddell and Scott consider the Latin spuo, the Greek πτυω, and Gothic speiwan, as related to each other, and to the Sanskrit shthiv, to spit; and Liddell and Scott give a root of πτυ or πυτ. That root is probably correct, in view of the other form πυτιζω, and πτιω must have been a later transposition of an older πυτω that goes back to an original pu, as we find it in the Polynesian, and as, considering s as prosthetic, we find it in Latin s-puo. The transition from pu, πυτ or πτυ, to Sanskrit shthiv seems rather violent, and I am not called on to defend it. Fornander.

They did so, and discovered that the model for the statue neck was the penis (ure) ...

Mother of pearl; rei kauaha, fin. Mgv.: rei, whale's tooth. Mq.: éi, id. This is probably associable with the general Polynesian rei, which means the tooth of the cachalot, an object held in such esteem that in Viti one tooth (tambua) was the ransom of a man's life, the ransom of a soul on the spirit path that led through the perils of Na Kauvandra to the last abode in Mbulotu. The word is undoubtedly descriptive, generic as to some character which Polynesian perception sees shared by whale ivory and nacre. Rei kauaha is not this rei; in the Maori whakarei designates the carved work at bow and stern of the canoe and Tahiti has the same use but without particularizing the carving: assuming a sense descriptive of something which projects in a relatively thin and flat form from the main body, and this describes these canoe ornaments, it will be seen that it might be applied to the fins of fishes, which in these waters are frequently ornamental in hue and shape. The latter sense is confined to the Tongafiti migration. Reirei, to trample down, to knead, to pound. Pau.: Rei-hopehopega, nape. Churchill.
