According to Manuscript E the cycle of Makoi measured 60
places (E:38 - E:42). The geography of Easter Island was
circumnavigated clockwise and the end (Apina Nui) was
close to the beginning (Apina Iti), like alpha and omega.
Or like Furrow and Frond:
...
Frond (Coma Berenices & western part of Virgo).
The Frond is represented in the heavens by
the figure of the goddess Erua
... Number 2 is reiterated in several ways in the text on page
E:35. And below the midline of Pachamama (the World
Mother) the day circles are drawn double:
... he ea a Ira.he too mai i te moai maea.erua.erua
tuitui reipa.te ingoa o tau moai maea era.erua ko apina
iti.katahi. ko rapa kura.karua
...
... At the risk of invoking the criticism,
'Astronomers rush in where philologists fear to tread', I should
like to suggest that Taku-rua corresponds with the
two-headed Roman god Janus who, on the first of January, looks
back upon the old year with one head and forward to the new year
with the other, and who is god of the threshold of the home as
well as of the year... There is probably a play on words in
takurua - it has been said that Polynesian phrases usually
invoke a double meaning, a common and an esoteric one. Taku
means 'slow', the 'back' of anything, 'rim' and 'command'.
Rua is a 'pit', 'two' or 'double'. Hence takurua has
been translated 'double command', 'double rim', and 'rim of the
pit', by different authorities. Taku-pae is the Maori
word for 'threshold'... Several Tuamotuan and Society Islands
planet names begin with the word Takurua or Ta'urua
which Henry translated Great Festivity and which is the name for
the bright star Sirius in both New Zealand and Hawaii. The
planet names, therefore, represent the final stage in the
evolution of takurua which was probably first applied to
the winter solstice, then to Sirius which is the most
conspicious object in the evening sky of December and January,
and was then finally employed for the brilliant and conspicious
planets which outshone even the brightest star Sirius. From its
association with the ceremonies of the new year and the winter
solstice, takurua also aquired the meaning 'holiday' or
'festivity' ...
holding her sacred branch of the Date-palm.
Her constellation rises in the autumn months as the dates are
ripening on the fronds.
Furrow (Eastern half of
Virgo). The Furrow is obviously the origin of
our modern Virgo with her familiar ear of barley. The
constellation rises in the autumn when the fields have been
prepared and are ready to be sown with the coming season's
barley seed ...

more than one word is confounded in alo.
The significations which appear in Southeast
Polynesia are most likely derived from a
Tongafiti alo and do not appear in
Nuclear Polynesia. The alo belly and
alo chief which do occur in Nuclear
Polynesia are also probably Tongafiti, for
in Samoa and Tonga they are honorific and
applied only to folk of rank, a good
indication of borrowing by the Proto-Samoans
from Tongafiti masters. Churchill. In the
Hawaiian group, the western portion or side
of an island was called 'the front', ke
alo, of the land, and the eastern side
was called 'the back', ke kua. The
reason of such designations must be sought
in the fact of the arrival of the
inhabitants from the west. Fornander.

... 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.
