he otea ki te ha o te raa.he ea hokoou anake It grew light on the fourth day, and they all got up (together). They climbed down, went on, and arrived at the bay. They hurried, went into the water, and reached the islet (off the shore). The wave began to move, and they all rode the wave (literally, 'they turned their lower body into the position of a turtle, coasted like a sled, they all came in the position of a turtle').

he oho mai te Honu a Ira.a te rara matau.he hi(-) Ira rode the wave [Wave] toward the right side. He looked diagonally [he hira] toward the land, looked in the direction of Ruhi Hepii, and the ornament of Ruhu Hepii [ruhi hePii] shone brightly [he rapa].

he rapa atu te rei.mai ruhi hePii.
On Mangareva they said te rara maori for the right hand ('branch'). In Manuscript E we should here probably read te rara matau as te rara ma'tau - see for instance a te tapa mata'u o te haga, on the right side of the bay. In contrast should te rara maui (cfr E:32) be read as te rara maúi - as in te va'e mata'u, te va'e maúi, right foot, left foot.

Rei. 1. To tread, to trample on: rei kiraro ki te va'e. 2. (Used figuratively) away with you! ka-rei kiraro koe, e mageo ê, go away, you disgusting man. 3. To shed tears: he rei i te mata vai. 4. Crescent-shaped breast ornament, necklace; reimiro, wooden, crescent-shaped breast ornament; rei matapuku, necklace made of coral or of mother-of-pearl; rei pipipipi, necklace made of shells; rei pureva, necklace made of stones. 5. Clavicle. Îka reirei, vanquished enemy, who is kicked (rei). Vanaga. T. 1. Neck. 2. Figure-head. Rei mua = Figure-head in the bow. Rei muri = Figure-head in the stern. Henry. 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.

he hakahoki he oho te honu a te rara maui He went back out into the sea, and the movement of the wave was toward the left side. Again he glanced, this time in the direction of Pu, and the ornament of Pu shone brightly.
he hira te mata hokoou a pu.he rapa mai te
rei o pu.
he hakahoki hokoou a vaenga he rapa mai Again he went back into the sea. From the middle, the two necklaces of the two figurines shone (toward him).
te tuitui reipa.erua o te ngao o te moai erua
Vae. Foot, leg; te va'e mata'u, te va'e maúi, right foot, left foot. Va'e ruga, va'e raro, quick and light, without detour (lit.: foot up, foot down). Ka-oho koe ki a nua era va'e ruga va'e raro, ina ekó hipa-hipa, hurry straight to your mother, do not make any detours. Va'e pau, misshapen foot, clubfoot. Vae, to choose. Vaega, middle, centre; i vaega o, in the middle of. Vanaga. 1. Foot, paw, leg, limb; vae no roto, drawers; karikari vae, ankle. P Pau.: vaevae, foot, leg. Mgv.: vaevae, id. Mq.: vae, id. Ta.: vaevae, avae, id. 2. Pupil. 3. To choose, elect, prefer, promote, vote; vavae, to destine, to choose; vaea (vae 2), pupil.

Vaehau (vae 1 - hau 3), pantaloons, trousers. Vaeherehere (vae 1 - here 1), to attach by the paw. Vaerere (vae 1 - rere 1), to run. Churchill. Ta.: 1. Timbers of a boat. Ha.: wae, knees, side timbers of a boat. 2. To share out. Sa.: vae, to divide, to share. Ma.: wawae, to divide. Churchill.

E:37

Ira remained [he noho] on shore [i uta], pondered [he hakatopa], and said, 'This is well [riva] done! Ruhi to the right, Pu to the left, and Hinariru Nui and Hinariru Iti in the middle [ki te tini]'.

Ira said the following to Makoi: 'You [ko koe] are the one who shall stay here. We [ko matou], on the other hand, have to turn around'.

Makoi replied, 'All right with me!'

Then Ira continued to speak to Makoi: 'Tomorrow, when it grows light, set out [hoki koe] and name the places [te kona] beginning with Apina'.

Makoi replied, 'How [pehe] shall I [au] give the names?'

Again [hokoou] Ira spoke, 'In Hiva are the names that are to be taken to name (the places of the new land).'

Ku. Verbal prefix, used for past events the effects of which are still lasting. The verb then takes the suffix -ana which is very often contracted to . In familiar conversation the prefix -ku is often omitted and only the suffix is used. Vanaga. 1. I; kia ku, me. 2. Verb sign: ku ohoa, to keep out of the way, absence; ku higaa, convinced; ku taie te tai, to overflow, to go beyond; ku magaro, to reconcile. 3. ? tae he mau ku hoao, abundance. 4. Akaku, to be moved, affected; hakaku, to groan. Mgv.: ku, an exclamation, a cry used when one has hit the mark aimed at. Mq.: ú, an exclamation of sorrow. 5. Gaoku, to eat greedily. Mgv.: ku, to be satiated, glutted. Churchill.

... If we can equate mulApin (Triangulum) with the Easter Island location Apina Nui, then we could guess Apina Iti was the Southern Triangle.

The Polynesians could not end a word with the consonant 'n' and therefore the famous mulAPIN should have become the Easter Island place Apina ...

pina.he tuu he nape i te ingoa.

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...

... The manik, with the tzab, or serpent's rattles as prefix, runs across Madrid tz. 22 , the figures in the pictures all holding the rattle; it runs across the hunting scenes of Madrid tz. 61, 62, and finally appears in all four clauses of tz. 175, the so-called 'baptism' tzolkin. It seems impossible, with all this, to avoid assigning the value of grasping or receiving. But in the final confirmation, we have the direct evidence of the signs for East and West. For the East we have the glyph Ahau-Kin, the Lord Sun, the Lord of Day; for the West we have Manik-Kin, exactly corresponding to the term Chikin, the biting or eating of the Sun, seizing it in the mouth.

  

The pictures (from Gates) show east, north, west, and south; respectively (the lower two glyphs)  'Lord' (Ahau) and 'grasp' (Manik). Manik was the 7th day sign of the 20 and Ahau the last ...
